In this article, we list the buffs, debuffs and useful abilities that an Arcane Mage brings to a raid in WoW 4.3. We also list equivalent buffs and debuffs that other classes provide.

The other articles of our Arcane Mage guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the left.

Arcane Tactics Icon Arcane Tactics Passive damage increase (+3% for all raid/party members) — does not stack with Ferocious Inspiration Icon Ferocious Inspiration and Communion Icon Communion
