Rocking the PvP arcane style

Well.. Not exactly..

Basically I used my arcane spec for PvP as a one off and discovered I do way better with it than frost.. As frost, I felt like a pee shooter.. Now using arcane I can kill a player from full in about 5 seconds.. I'm even laying waste to hunters and rouges which I always had trouble wit

Is this normal? Do I just suck with frost? I do feel more confident and fluent using arcane in PvP.. Sure I miss the survivability and CC of frost, but now I feel like I'm doing actual damage.. Even did some 2v2 with a disc priest and did better than expected

I guess my question is, is arcane really viable in pvp? I'm really just mucking around in BGs and a few arenas, but im doing so much better.. Should I respec arcane properly for pvp.. Is there anyone out there who plays arcane solely for pvp?

Or maybe I should jut ditch the frost and relearn to us fire for pvp.. Kind of sick of respecing lol


You were fighting bad rogues and hunters. Trust me when I say that..

Frost will outdo Arcane every time when you are fighting competent people. Of course Arcane has its niche in PVP due to its extreme burst potential but that is really only in RBGs and even that is uncommon compared to Fire in RBGs for spread damage/aoe

Granted, if all you are doing is random BGs by all means play Arcane and blow up noobs who don't know how to play but be prepared to be absolutely destroyed when you fight anyone with half a brain cell.
