General Resources

• Player Spotlight: Drjay

Arcane

The Gist: Cast as many spells as you can at 4 Arcane Charges before you OOM and Evocate back up

• 7.08% Haste for 7 Arcane Blasts in Arcane Power

Fire

The Gist: Two crits in a row will give you a free Pyroblast which you can use to stack up Ignite

Frost

The Gist: Cast spells of frozen (or pseudofrozen) enemies to do extra crunchy damage

• Fingers of Frost procs actually work against a Brain Freeze combo because they make your Ice Lance already act like it's hitting a frozen target
