Arcane 0
Wand SpecializationRank 0/2
MovedArcane FocusRank 0/5
Changed Reworked: it was a resist reduction in Classic, and now gives +1% hit to Arcane spells per rank, 5% at 5/5. Arcane at 60, Fire and Frost level-60 builds take all five as spell hit.Improved ChannelingRank 0/5
Changed Renamed from Improved Arcane Missiles. It gives a 100% chance to avoid damage interruption while channeling Arcane Missiles, and now also 70% while casting Arcane Blast. The Arcane builds take it.Missile BarrageRank 0/2
New Row 1 and 2 points; Arcane Missiles hits can now trigger it too. Procs from Arcane Blast (40%) and Fireball, Frostbolt and Frostfire Bolt (20%), so Frost and Fire builds take it too. A second Arcane Missiles cast no longer has its cost and duration lowered by it. The latest beta data drops the buff's faster-tick effect but keeps the halved channel, so a proc may now fire fewer missiles rather than the same missiles faster; the tooltip still says every 0.5 sec. Not yet confirmed in game.Arcane SubtletyRank 0/2
Requires 5 points in Arcane Talents
ChangedMagic AbsorptionRank 0/2
Requires 5 points in Arcane Talents
Changed Cut to 2 ranks (Classic: 5). It gives +10 to all resistances at 2/2, and a fully resisted spell restores 2% of your mana, at most once a second. Fire and Frost level-60 builds take both ranks.Arcane ConcentrationRank 0/5
Requires 5 points in Arcane Talents
Blizzard says its chance now drops when you cast spells of a much lower rank, because gold farmers spammed cheap low-rank spells to fish for procs, and that the same penalty applies to many talents across classes. Clearcasting does not roll for every target a spell hits, does not trigger from Dampen Magic or Amplify Magic, and does not trigger from abilities cast out of combat. 10% chance at 5/5.Arcane ResilienceRank 0/2
Requires 5 points in Arcane Talents
ChangedArcane GeometryRank 0/2
Requires 10 points in Arcane Talents
Changed Replaces Magic Attunement: +3 yards per rank to Arcane spells.Arcane ImpactRank 0/3

New Gives you spell damage from your Intellect, and its own cost still climbs.Arcane ShieldingRank 0/2
Requires 15 points in Arcane Talents
Changed Formerly Improved Mana Shield. At 2/2 it cuts the Mana lost per point of damage taken under Mana Shield by 33% and also raises the resistances Mage Armor gives by 50%.Improved CounterspellRank 0/2

Changed Now a guaranteed silence, 2 s at rank 1 and 4 s at rank 2 (was a 50/100% chance of 4 s).Arcane MeditationRank 0/3

Changed Moved to the top row: crit for Fire Blast, Scorch, Ice Lance and Arcane Blast, so every spec can use it.Improved FireballRank 0/5
Changed Moved from column 2 to column 3. It cuts Fireball and Frostfire Bolt cast times by 0.5 sec at 5/5. All Fire builds and the Frostfire build take all five ranks.IgniteRank 0/5
Requires 5 points in Fire Talents
No longer double-dips on percentage damage bonuses. Blizzard says each Mage now gets an Ignite debuff of their own instead of every Mage in the fight sharing one as in Classic Era, which fixes threat and damage credit, and that crits landing very close together no longer lose damage, as in Season of Discovery (not checked against the client).Flame ThrowingRank 0/2

Non-periodic critical strikes with Fireball, Frostfire Bolt, Fire Blast, and Scorch reduce the cast time of your next Pyroblast cast within 20 sec by 25%, stacking up to 3 times. Fire Blast grants an additional stack every time it deals damage.
New 25% faster Pyroblast per crit, 3 stacks, 20 s. Every Fire Blast cast adds a stack, and a Presence of Mind Pyroblast doesn't use them up.Master of ElementsRank 0/3
Requires 15 points in Fire Talents

Requires 25 points in Fire Talents
Changed Takes only 3 points: Fire spells do 1/2/3% more damage per Fire effect of yours on the target, up to +12%. Effects that mix several schools do not count.
