Best MoP Remix Leveling Build for Arcane Mage
Dungeon / AoE Open-World BuildRaid / Cleave Build
This build is intended for speed-leveling and sacrifices single-targetdamage to maximize your ability to make huge pulls and AoE damage. This worksvery well in dungeons with big pulls, or in outdoor content where you pulllarge groups of enemies.
3.2.
Dungeon AoE / Open-World Build
This build is aimed primarily at Raiding content, or doingDungeons at a relatively slow pace where bosses take a decent amount of timeto kill. For dungeons where you do large trash pack pulls, or pull trashon top of bosses, we suggest going the AoE build.
