Hey there Lurkers.
I'm de-lurking to ask about a semi-oft covered topic: spell damage.
I know that full spell damage is related to the 3 second spell and there are deminishing returns for faster spells. However, I'm not familiar with how far the bar drops for instant spells. Furthermore, the game clearly differentiates between true instant spells and spells that can be made instant via talents. I say this because when I have an active curse of tounges debuff, my Arcane Explosion (formerly instant) takes cast time, where as my fireblast does not.
This whole thread is designed on end-game spec and I specifically looking at the viablility of my 13Fire/38Arcane build. I really like it for early lvl 60 instances, it seems great in core, and works fine for me in PvP.
I'm just not sure how to ramp it up. Do I add +damage gear or +regen? Right now, I'm in more of a stats build gear wise (full Tier 0 - Magisters). I never run out of mana even constantly missling Magmadar. I'd like to find a good build of +damage and stats, but I'm not sure if the benefits of +damage can be properly realized in the arcane build I have.
I welcome all comments/suggestions.
Thanks,
-MB
