I was sitting at work reading the intro... "I'm going to assume that you're trapped at work or something." I almost LOL'd in the middle of the call center!

I respecced from frost to arcane with the next-to-last BC upgrade, and absolutely love the 61-0-0- spec. Once you're arcane, the rest are a pain! Don't think I'll change anytime soon.

Hi all,

First things first: thank you for this interesting post Christian.

Now about the arcane tree, I am a bit sceptic. I looked at what arcane spells are gonna become at level 80. In my opinion, the scaling of their damage output will remove a huge part of fun. Indeed, the full arcane built at 80 looks proportionally far less efficient than it was at 70, between patch 3.0.2 and WOTLK. For example Arcane Barrage will go from 709 to 865 dmg at level 70 to 936 to 1144 dmg at level 80. On the other hand, Ice Barrier absorbs 1705 dmg at 70 and 3300 at 80.

I'd like to know your opinion on this. Are there already any level 80 that could validate or invalidate this please?

Thanks
