Thank you! I guess the 340 shoulders are still a downgrade even though they give me 2 brainstorms

Hi. If i use raidbots to sim my dps, does it automatically change to the brainstorm rotation if i have 2 or more brainstorm traits equipped? If not, how can i tell it to use the brainstorm rotation? Asking because i have a piece of 340 shoulders with brainstorm (to get 2 brainstorms), or 355 shoulde...

Hi Rexdan, It's most likely related to the fact that nobody is near the crit cap so definitely you'll have some GS that won't crit. On a more nefarious note, if you're playing with relatively high latency you'll find it'll prevent you from executing the combo smoothly. Also make sure you set your S...

I see. Thank you so much!

This is especially true when you have a 33% crit cap so your GS always crit. However, I'd dump Fingers if I need to move out o...

I see, thanks for clarifying! I thought maybe it had something to do with the chance of icicle stacks falling off. Hahahaha

You cast Ice Lance everytime you cast a Brain Freeze Flurry. If you have existing Ice Lance procs (Fingers of Frost), and Brain Freeze pops up, you will dump Ice Lances if you're not casting Frostbolt. If you were in the middle of Frostbolt then you cast Flurry right after, which means you'll "munc...

Hi, thank you so much for the great guide! Started playing my mage again for the first time in years and it's so useful to have this and be able to catch up. Just have a couple of questions though: 1. Just noticed that it's not here in the rotation. But since flurry with a brain freeze proc applies ...
