Sunfury Arcane Mages use their connection to the Sunstrider legacy to conjure , s, and a powerful during your . This is the kind of theme that the hero talent system was built for. The visuals for Sunfury are excellent, invoking both the classic spheres and his pet , the only pitfall here is that the are very fire-centric in their animation, purple spheres would've really made this perfect for Arcane Mages. Sunfury is going to make a lot of people very happy.
Opposite of this, Spellslinger Arcane Mages generate s which essentially just do damage to and around your target through all the various talents in the tree. Somewhat often, s will proc and fire off an at whatever you're facing; it's honestly really cool. More than just mechanically though, the aesthetic for Spellslinger has evolved over the course of alpha and beta, the animations look very good now and the is a really cool complimentary addition to the aesthetic.
Sunfury is flatly just the coolest and most on-WoW theme hero talent tree for Mages Blizzard could make, I can't ignore that, if it had more Arcane themed aesthetics I would be happier though. Spellslinger brings that traditionally Arcane spell aesthetic, just much more of it. Spellslinger could be more rooted in WoW lore, there were other options, but overall I think Blizzard pulled it off well and people will be happy. Sunfury and Spellslinger both deserve praise for their fantasy and visuals!
