Missile Barrage is a Mage talent in the Arcane tree.

This talent causes certain Mage spells to half Arcane Missiles' channeling time, momentarily turning it into the highest DPS spell available to the Arcane Mage that specs into it.

Tips and tactics

  • The raiding Arcane Mage will rotate Arcane Barrage and Fireball for maximum DPS while watching for this talent's procs to cast Arcane Missiles.
  • When this spell procs off Fireball, cast a Barrage before casting Arcane Missiles to give it time to cool down. Arcane Barrage is the higher DPS spell, and Fireball is, in comparison, a filler that the Arcane Mage uses to wait on the cooldown and can afford to substitute.
