Hello!

Do you guys have any tips on how to improve my DPS in raids & dungeons, i can't make it over 18k. Im doing the right rotation and it just wont go up, so what to do (other than improving gear ofc..)

And btw i know my hit % is a little too high i just fixed that

Thanks for your answers :)

18k doesn't sound so bad with the state your character is in

to be fair with the gear you have 18k is about right for you.

once u get full 397 gear u will see ur dps skyrocket.

dont forget focus on as much mastery as u can. get hi cap.

as arcane and 2bit t13 set bonus you only need 1.2k haste to hit the cap(with timewarp and spell haste buff u have 1 sec AB cast).

keep your mana up high. as once u get below 60% mana u really feel the dmg decrease. use mage armor all the time. save ur mana gem for when u use arcane power. evocation at 45% mana. get your self raid buffed in lfr and see how much mana u have. then work out how much of that is 45% so u know when to use it :).

also reroll gnome. we are awesome and all other races are puny

evocation at 45% mana

Regens 60% + a Mage Armor tick = overhealed mana

When I have low DPS on my arcane mage I try using my hand instead of my face. Sometimes it improves my DPS.

Are you freaking kidding me?

45 + 60 + 3 = 108.

Want a tip? You can't go above 100%. That's pretty much the definition.

Congratulations, you've failed at maths.

Okay.

OP, don't go below 45% mana because Krixis said so. OR you could use http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3888360142 which has stronger arguments than the arbitrary and nonchalant advice he infests every arcane thread with.
