Arcane
Arcane delivers explosive Phase 3 damage but converts mana into DPS aggressively. Strong play is less about a rigid loop and more about choosing when to burn with Arcane Blast and when to conserve before Evocation, Innervate or potion windows.

Fire
Fire offers stable ranged damage with excellent scaling and straightforward movement adaptation. Phase 3 Fire centers on keeping Scorch support when assigned, maximizing Fireball casts and using Combustion during uninterrupted burn windows.

Frost
Frost is less common as a pure Phase 3 raid-DPS choice but remains useful when control, survivability or encounter-specific utility matters. It offers reliable casting, strong defensive tools and excellent add control.
