Subject: Tseric, Arcane Missles? |

Tseric,
Much thought and effort has been expended on the part of the Dev's and yourself in relation to the Fire and Frost tree's and the synergy between them. Thanks, it was and still is needed. I appreciate the changes made on Evocation and IAE, they were both needed and regardless of the flaming, no one is going to argue that those were both a very good thing.
Unfortunately I see Arcane missles not being a viable direct damage spell, it is neither mana-efficient nor competitive in Damage. I propose a change in the Improved Arcane Missles Talent, or a replacement of a higher talent and or tweaking the Improved Arcane Explosion to remedy this.
Firstly, change the improved Arcane Missles Talent to each incriment increasing the un-interruptability by the same 20%, but in addition each increment adding 1 yd range, and increasing damage done by arcane missles by 5%. for a total of 100% un-interuptable, 25% increased damage and a final 35 yd range of the spell. This sounds a bit strong, but Arcane Missles should be a viable direct damage spell, and since it has its own tree a mage should be allowed and not hindered from using it as their main nuke.
I like the +crit% on the Improved Arcane Explosion, but change the talent name, and allow the +crit% chance to affect all Arcane DMG instead of just Arcane Explosion.
I know that if it was viable I would prefer to be Arcane spec'd and use Arcane Missles as my main single target damage nuke. Thanks for reading this, and please sign if you think this is a good idea, thanks.
P.S. kill wand specialization.

The devs realize Arcane Missiles receives something of an indirect nerf due to these changes. They are actively discussing the matter and look to increase some potential of the spell while keeping it distinct with the new Arcane Subtlety.
