Hello,

I have noticed some days ago the new updates to mage talets, and i was so busy trying some fire specs that i didn't noticed one thing

Master of Elements now works for arcane too

I tought.. WTF arcane missiles spam FTW

Someone know if all missiles crit will have back 30% mana for each crit?

This could be a nice solution to mana problems with arcane

AM still does less dps then any other dps rotation unless you have mbar active, even if you'd add a passive 30% crit from PoM (wich doesn't get consumed by AM) other spells still do more dps

But ye for fights where mana is a limitation it could become a nice alternative.

Just tested this in beta; Arcane Missiles gets no return from Master of Elements at all. No big blow, really. Especially with the passive crit from PoM... though that works even better with Arcane Barrage!

Assuming that doesn't get changed, it may even be worth it to never use cast times as Arcane.

But if arcane missiles is spammale without worring about mana, you can build your gear around proc things... Cenarion lvl60 rinc still procs like hell, and it's like having the buff all the time up

Maybe it's a bug, or other arcane spells when crits return an amount of mana?

Somehow I HIGHLY doubt the PoM 30% crit buff is going to go live in its current form. I just don't think that was what blizzard was thinking.
