Drennol's Tier-5 Arcane Build

In case you haven't noticed, I like to use the forums as my personal notebook of sorts. I'm planning to try a full arcane build for my T5-set.

Currently, I have two main sets. One for full on top damage, geared for dealing damage, not taking damage, or extremely long duration fights.

I've noticed that a lot of clothie gear for t5+ has spirit, a currently unavailable commodity for my level of gear, making duration gear somewhat limited at the time being. I think durational stability will end up being an incredibly important factor in a successful build for The Eye and beyond, and will be my main focus for a gear set.


My (current) Arcane build spec: 40/0/21 (MM/IB)
