Is like, fire or frost superior or can you do really good with Arcane?
I'm only interested in Arcane Mage so how are they DPS wise?
Also, compared to say, an affliction warlock... How are arcane mage in terms of DPS?
Thanks

Unless you're aiming for min-maxed mythic progress, I'd say you're safe to play any class/spec you want.
Besides, if you're good with Arcane and bad with Frost, you'll still be doing better as Arcane.
Last, but not least, just stating the obvious: This is a game. Have fun with it! If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.

Great reply, thank you!
Finally a state where a spec isn't so bad it's unplayable! That's great!
Now I just have to decide depending on looks then... Which is either Warlock, Mage, Priest, Shaman or Rogue... haha
New warlock gear looks so good! Though hard to get I suppose..

My arcane mage runs 1.5m DPS overall in fortified weeks, 1.0m in tyrannical (and raid) without any set item. Incredibly fun to play but if you're one of the 'only raid matters' weirdos you won't be happy with it.

Arcan is a Arcan't now!
I am starting a new Arcane on Beta and its
horrible
. not so horrible
They killed Slipstream, and now its RNG based and relies on Clearcasting. You cannot fire missiles while moving unless you happen to have Clearcasting.
RNG based mobility? NO! Please NO!
Well...I have to edit because I have been experimenting. I had to change talents around and the rotations, but I figured out how to get my burst back.
Soo...its not all that bad. They just took away our mobility, or ability to shoot while moving. I can change tactics for leveling, but unfortunately I foresee any boss fights requiring movement will suck badly.
