And no, this isn't a joke, this is the truth. I used to play Arcane back when I was still learning to play mage, and all i did literally find a bunch of people fighting, find a safe spot, pop offensive cds/Time Warp and AB blast spam them to death. Simple as that. You would have serious trouble if you got spotted and focused, but that should NEVER happen if you know what you're doing. The key to success as an Arcane mage is not being noticed (if you know what I mean).
So no, Arcane Mage isn't challenging to play, like at all.
