Talent required Spell nature enchantarmor [Presence of Mind]
Properties
Affects Spell damage and Critical strike chance

Arcane Instability is a Mage talent that increases spell damage and critical strike chance. This affects all three spell schools the mage has. The spell damage bonus applies to the spell damage from gear and stats, where the critical strike chance is a flat percent increase. This is an all around good talent for increasing damage, as it scales well with gear upgrades.

This talent requires Spell nature enchantarmor [Presence of Mind] and is a pre-requisite for Spell nature lightning [Arcane Power]. Its name stands in a rather ludicrous contrast to another Arcane talent, Spell nature starfall [Arcane Stability].

Patch changes

  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): Tooltip reworded to clarify design intent.
  • WoW Icon update Patch 1.6.0 (2005-07-12): Fixed a bug where rank 3 of this talent was not increasing the periodic damage of various spells by the correct amount (was increasing by 2% and should now properly increase by 3%).
