'''Arcane Barrage''' is one of the primary damaging spells for arcane [[Mage]]s, obtained by [[specialization|specializing]] in the Arcane tree.
−
In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', you can make your character "emote" by using predefined [[slash command]]s. These commands generate a chat message (typically in a special color) that describes what your character is doing. This chat message is often accompanied by audio and some character action.
 
   
  +
== Damage dealt ==
−
For example, using the /thanks command, text displays ("''Character'' thanks ''target''."), an audio file is played (character voice: "Thank you."), and a character animation occurs (character gesticulates).
 
  +
This table shows Arcane Barrage's damage for each fifth level, starting from 10 when it's obtained.

There are 5 kinds of emotes in ''World of Warcraft'':
 
−  
−
# Text only
 
−
# Text + Vocalization
 
−
# Text + Character Animation
 
−
# Text + Vocalization + Character Animation
 
−
# Vocalization + Character Animation
 
−  
−
== Creating your own emotes ==
 
−
First, you can create your own emotes using /e
 
−  
−
/e (The emote always starts with your name) Scrabbles in the dirt
 
−  
−
Will appear like this (ex:)
 
−  
−
<span style="color:orange;"> Leaferran scrabbles in the dirt
 
−  
−
<span style="color:white;"> or
 
−  
−
/e Scrabbles in the dirt, and finds %T's shoe (%T will show your current targeted target in the game)
 
−  
−
Will appear like this: (ex:)
 
−  
−
<span style="color:orange;"> Leaferran scrabbles in the dirt, and finds Animål's shoe
 
−
<span style="color:white;">
 
−  
−
These emotes will not be understandable by the opposing faction. The following will be the only thing the opposing faction will see.
 
−  
−
<span style="color:orange;">Leaferran makes some strange gestures.</span>
 
−  
−
== Emote/Action/Spell macros ==
 
−
This is only for the real geek
 
−  
−
You can emote and cast spells or summons such as this macro for a warlock:
 
−  
−
/e Prepares a dark ritual
 
−  
−
/s or /y Come to me, Fel Horse!
 
−  
−
/cast summon felsteed or /cast summon dreadsteed
 
−  
−
Will appear as:
 
−  
−
<span style="color:orange;"> Leaferran prepares a dark ritual <span style="color:white;">
 
−  
−
<span style="color:red;">[Leaferran] yells: Come to me, Felhorse!<span style="color:white;">
 
−  
−
Leaferran casts Summon Felsteed
 
−  
−
== Set Emotes (Just type in /) ==
 
−
<span style="color:white;"> Here is a list of some emotes that will cause your character to vocalize and/or perform a movement.
