Sunken Temple with a 52-60 mage is a fucking joke with Instant Arcane Explosion. A MUST-HAVE no matter what build you do 
Cosmos reports my Damage Per Second to be around 1500-2500 when I do Instant Arcane Explosion in Sunken Temple. It's incredible. |
It's a very solid build no doubt and most mages will have instant arcane explosion. The 31 arc/20 fire build isn't called cookie-cutter mage build for nothing
You can get instant arcane explosion w/o putting 31 points into Arc though. I have it in my 28 arc/23 fire build for example but I feel more versatile in PvP. 31 arc/20 fire isn't the best build, I don't think there is a best build out there. It all depends on your style of play. Frost/Arc mages are much more useful in later instances since mobs tend to have high resists against fire if they are not immune.
