Arcane Missiles in Azeroth Survivors

How does Arcane Missiles hit?

Arcane Missiles has its own tooltip. It fires a volley of missiles at random enemies within 28 yards, and when few enemies are near, several missiles can hit the same one. A second version of the line sends every missile at bosses and elites whenever any are near, though the text does not say what switches that version on. The data stores a count of 4 for the spell, most likely the number of missiles, and a base interval of 1.8 seconds.

Where does Arcane Missiles fit in the Mage kit?

It is the Arcane tree’s signature spell. Outside the capstone it comes from level-up cards, while the Arcane capstone puts it in place of Fireball from the first second. Its random targeting spreads damage across a pack instead of focusing one enemy.

Which talents change Arcane Missiles?

Arcane Focus, the first Arcane talent, adds damage to every Arcane spell over five ranks. Presence of Mind, the Arcane milestone at 20 points, fires more missiles and lets each missile leap on to another enemy for its full damage. Arcane Power, the capstone at 30 points, starts every run with Arcane Missiles instead of Fireball and raises the chance for your spells to strike twice. Its echoes also cascade: a spell that strikes twice rolls again, up to 3 more times in a row. A spell with many missiles gives that roll plenty of chances.

As an Arcane spell it also counts for Blue Screen of Death, the achievement for defeating Azuregos in Alterac Valley with an Arcane spell.
