# Instant Cast: hurt others faster than they can hurt you and also you don't want to be hurt because of the small HP pool. We will aim to get 100% vct% reduction purely from items (instead of stats) | # Instant Cast: hurt others faster than they can hurt you and also you don't want to be hurt because of the small HP pool.

# <Only For Farming otherwise this can be skipped> One Hit (OH) damage capability: This is less of an issue for Arch Mage because the single instance of any of the skills in the rotation ({{#skill:5235}} (0.3s CD, single target), {{#skill:5222}} (6s CD, puddle), and {{#skill:5217}} (4s CD, puddle)), and perhaps {{#skill:5220}} (0.7s CD, single target affecting small area around target) all have decent damage and either way if it doesn't OH, the cooldown is either very short so you just hit the mobs again or the skills are '''puddle''' type (lingering on area DPS).

# <Only For Bossing otherwise this can be skipped> DPS: ASPD requirement is quite high for full rotation spam maybe above 182 ASPD (4 actions per second) or even as high as 187 ASPD (5 actions per second). The reason is {{#skill:5235}} (0.3s CD) alone has requirement of 3.33 actions per second (177 ASPD), and that we cram in 2 or 3 other skills in the rotation faster. | # <Only For Bossing otherwise this can be skipped> DPS: ASPD requirement is quite high for full rotation spam maybe above 182 ASPD (4 actions per second) or even as high as 187 ASPD (5 actions per second).
