Ranked by how many of a race's racials touch what this spec does, read out of the game's own wording and out of the weapon its gear list aims for. Those are lit; the number on the right is the count. It is a measure, not a verdict: nothing in the beta has been parsed yet, so anything stronger would be a guess.

In the Arcane tree

• Arcane BlastA stacking nuke that makes Arcane viable as a damage spec instead of a place to park points for utility.
• Missile BarrageArcane Missiles can proc as an instant, smoothing a rotation that was otherwise all hard casts.

Elsewhere in Mage

• Hot StreakConsecutive fire crits make your next Pyroblast instant, which gives Fire a payoff for stacking crit.
• Fingers of Frost and Ice LanceFrost gets a burst window: guaranteed shatter procs plus a finisher to use in them.
• Fire DoTs can critLiving Bomb and Ignite scale differently once ticks can crit.

New abilities

• Ice LanceDeals 34 to 41 Frost damage to an enemy target. Deals 300% increased damage to Frozen targets.
• Frostfire BoltLaunches a bolt of frostfire at the enemy, causing 102 to 119 Frostfire damage, slowing movement speed by 40% and causing an additional 27 Frostfire damage over 9 sec. This spell will be checked against the lower of the target's Frost and Fire resists and counts as both Frost and Fire damage.
• Arcane BlastBlasts the target with energy, dealing 131 to 152 Arcane damage. Each time you cast Arcane Blast, the damage of all your other spells is increased by 10% and the mana cost of Arcane Blast is increased by 175%. Effect stacks up to 4 times and lasts 8 sec or until any other damage spell is cast.
