Hi, I'm interested in specializing in Arcane. What are the cons in pve?

Cons:

1. No DoT damage, sucks when you have to move, which is a lot. It takes a lot of experience to learn how to position yourself.
2. Often bad RNG with Missile Barrage leading to mana issues
3. In order to pull high DPS it requires more skill that it seems at first glance. (Managing Incanter's Absorption, other than that rotation is easy as f***) - You
can play 'safe' spec without it but it's not as good
4. Not as good as TTW Fire
5. Relatively bad AOE dps

Pros:
1. Easy base rotation
2. High burst and great for quick fights especially when you don't have to move.
3. Good if you're still gearing. TTW requires a lot of crit.
