If simcraft is incorrect about frost, one can find a counterexample. E.g., pick a gear set and use it ingame and with simcraft. If the results do not match, simcraft is most likely incorrect. If one cannot find a counterexample, then simcraft is probably correct.

However Search did not find any mention here in this forum or on the Simulationcraft github. Are there any assessments of its strength already? Is thi...

Great Reply from Komma! If I were to do a study on a large corpus of players, I'd certainly confirm that activating spells by mouse clicks rather than keyboard (or multi button mice) is more error prone and slower in stress situations. That does not mean that this cannot work for you, but it means t...

No, the game prevents developers from doing different casts for the same gesture.

With RoP now having two charges, is it possible to create a WeakAura to let me know how many of the 10 active seconds remain? I have such a timer in my weak aura set but it will retrigger the 10 seconds on the bar if for some reason you run out and in. Auras are at (https://gist.github.com/lichtsch...

Yes, last week did not remember my login session for more than 10 minutes. Switching to https only makes it at least somewhat stable for an hour or so.

It depends on how you measure the distance and the size of the target. I've coded a simple weak aura that acts as a range finder and can confirm that often ~20 is the distance you seek to the target. The reason is that the distance as measured by the game is to the "border" of the mob. Large targets...

In short, my plan is not to make a decision today, but to make a decision after Aug 30th. If nothing changes I might well be ending up fire for all the fine points outlined above. Yet, there is a decent chance that things will change—I certainly hope that they change for Frost at the very least! Als...

Great work !

There is little reason to panic about your leveling spec. Any decisions you make about artifacts in the first week will not really impact your performance a month later.

Great work, I liked that a lot.

Ignite weak aura as well. Works for cumbustion as well. Here is my weak aura setup: https://gist.github.com/lichtschlag/5250207" target="_blank .

I want to share my weakauras with other mages, but all my weakauras use english spell names. Is there a way to build weakauras, so that they work with other languages? Will it work if I change all spell names to spell ids?

I use this configuration (file named "profiles.simc") and run it from the command line armory=eu,madmortem,macbeet,spec=primary spec=frost glyphs=56364/56377/57925/89749/146662 talents=3312321 name=Macbeet_Frost_IN_RoP_TV armory=eu,madmortem,macbeet,spec=secondary spec=arcane glyphs=56382/57925/8620...

Try http://www.dropbox.com" target="_blank, they allow any file size / type.

For unitframes, I use Shadowed Unit Frames, and see no reason, why you should not be able to scale them as you see fit. They are low maintenance.

Thanks for all the feedback, we'll put it to good use.

I am super happy having found Altered Time --- it has helped me improve my play and also my fellow mages in my raid. But not everybody agrees that Mages is the best class and so I've got a lot of players in my raid that I neither can council myself, nor can I recommend a good resource on their class...
