Its really easy to test which does the highest DPS, time your muir runs, one with arcane gate+void star and one with void star spam only.

Pointless to have Arcane dealing more DPS if the following happens :

Unfortunately its poorly designed so its very random. Bosses can easily hit you while you are in the casting animation or right as you popout to attack, and short of having clairvoyance, you cant do anything about it as its very luck dependant. Bosses can also decide to fly away, teleport or otherwise become invulnerable right as you use it.

Void Star is underrated, not due to damage but about how far it can actually hit.

I'm mostly top dps with my +10 Twink-BL against people with +12 or much higher. And I usually barely uses Arcane, probably like only once every raid, or twice at best. Rest comes from Void Star "spam".

Horrific Scream isn't all bad either, if you play aggressively, you might run out of stamina even with IR. Problem for me is how sometimes, the stamina regeneration ability from the smash doesn't even work, even if I did land the smash as I have the proof by getting Spirit Bind but yet, my stam didn't regend for some reasons.
Or the fact the smash itself can be kind of annoying and barely hits, especially at Glas ffffuu. Gonna blame it on myself tho as in the past, I used to manage the reverse controls of it pretty well.

Arcane Gate doesn't make me confident at all. It's obviously not bad, the thing is how unlucky you can be while using it :
- either have some s3 bosses using a red attack and gets you hit during the snap animation.
- like you said before -> boss going teleport mode (keaghan, iset, lugh) or invuls (f*ck pantheum, I really mean it).
- there are a few bugs still occuring with Arcane : I somehow managed to get hit during the snap animation... in Titan. Does he happen to have secret red attacks no one is aware of ? ugh.
Or another one at Lord Glas Gewellean -> anyone that remembers the boss changes patch (Ingkara shadows, WQ's burrying, and so on), that time when they made the last hit of Glas' 5 combo not red anymore.. guess what ? Arcane's animation still get hit through hit, as the attack was still red for AG, somehow.

Anyway, to go back to DPS, it depens on the bosses. I tend to avoid using Arcane just by personal confidence, however I would still not use it on bosses that might get me over it such as Lugh or Iset.
Mind there are also specific time where you can abuse of Arcane Gate just to make sure you can hit with AG like after taking down Glas' barrier, since he has a "long" moment of weakness after getting pierced, it's a great moment for using Arcane.

I still like to overuse Void Star for the same reasons as Atherion : it cancels so much animation and makes it much faster to use, while I feel "slow" using Arcane if I don't use Werewolf Paw.
Last thing : about 'double' Void Star -> it was obviously much easier in XE as we had auto-sprint, so it was really usable but in PRE, I feel like wasting my time since I have to sprint first. However, since normals doesn't use stamina in PRE, I feel like "free" for using Void Star immediately after one normal attack, as they don't consume any stamina + I often use one normal after I've Blinked to get back on the fight faster.

Best Neamhain solo yet.
