Arcane Shot

Arcane Shot is an instant shot that causes 15% of your RAP + X arcane damage.

Tips and tactics
During long fights, Arcane Shot's mana inefficiency can make it a less attractive ability. However, that doesn't make it useless. Working in a few shots, especially in fights that end before mana becomes an issue, can boost your dps.

Arcane shot can be very powerful in PvP. Mobility is the key in PvP, especially for ranged classes, and the burst nature of this shot is also welcome. This is an often overlooked fact because arcane shot deals arcane damage, which bypasses the heavy armor of Warriors, Paladins and Death Knights.

If you are specced Survival, forget this. Explosive Shot deals more damage, and hits three times.
