Hey, first post on this forum.
I was looking through some stuff and was wondering if there was anyway to perhaps up dps without having to spam frostbolt with the arcane/frost build: http://www.wowprovider.com/Old.aspx?tal ... 535d30013f
Basically I looked at the top ranks for arcane missiles and frostbolt. It shows that frostbolt's lower bound is around 429 damage and for arcane missiles it is 192 damage each tick. Frostbolt would be a 2.5 sec cast and arcane missiles is 192 each second for 5.
The net damage equates to 858 for frostbolt over 5 seconds and 960 for arcane missiles. Theoretically there is an even greater chance for a damage increase as there are 5 opportunities for arcane missiles to crit, versus two for frost over those 5 seconds.
Obviously arcane missiles is far more expensive but with clear casting that can easily be tracked with powerauras ( http://gyazo.com/ae7270f9fdb18e0240a35833af42b49e ), it should be worth it. I just haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else.
