Altered Time - your #1 World of Warcraft Mage resource!

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/malganis/Chogrago/simple Anybody know what I am doing wrong? i am only pulling like 220k the only thing I can think of is maybe my artifact lvl is too low? I don't have to icecicle golden trait yet, but i can't imagine that alone is holding me back that much. T...

What about artifacts relics for this build? I'm already simming close to 420k, but i can see that most DPS from the "perfect" build comes from relics upgrades. I know that frostbolt is the way to go but that means that i'll have to farm arch e maw till those drops? What's the Ilvl gain over the othe...

Since the whole point is finding out whether GS is being miscalculated, why not just remove flurry from the calculation?

i did that, check my post above yours

Another thing to mention:

By removing the flurry shatter from the APL (&prev_gcd.frostbolt) the DPS loss is about 1%. Which doesn't explain how the averages and criticals max are so far off.

It was pointed out to me that by not properly shattering FBs my results could be off. So to make sure that shattering wasn't the issue, i removed flurry from the APL, and lust as well. Here are the results: Type Executes Direct Results Ticks Tick Results Execute Time per Execution Tick Time per Tick...

After quick discussion on MIRC, i found that Black Ice can be the reason why SimC is overvaluing GS. Check the numbers below, removing black ice trait from my weapon: Simulation Iteration Average Direct Results Count Pct Mean Min Max Mean Min Max Actual Amount Total Amount Overkill % hit 20.86 73.96...

Hello everyone! I'm doing this thread because i'm not sure if SimC is misscalculating GS damage vs live or if there's a GS ingame bug. I'm currently using this APL for testing ingame vs simc results. mage="Chukeh" level=110 race=undead region=us server=azralon role=attack professions=tailoring=708/e...

Me again. After further testing i'm positive that Glacial Spike is being over valued in the Simc. My averages keep being always 5% or more lower than live servers on hits and up to 11% less on criticals. On average, GS deals 60mi on sims, and usually 45-51mi on live. Somehow the damage percentage se...

There you go. Managed to improve 20k DPS by 2X FB before ROPing.

Hey Rikx, i'm enjoying this build so far, but i might be doing something REALLY wrong. I'm simming (removing consumables from APL) around 365k, but on dummies i don't get anywhere NEAR that damage. Weird thing is that my damage ingame is kinda the same as sims (as far as percentages) What i'm doing ...

Duplicated post

Removed consumables from APL, using only lust. Everything is off (crits and hits) and maximum is what is significantly lower.

Can someone test it as well to see if i'm the only one facing this issues.

I'm just asking cause it seems like the spec is dealing slightly less damage than before. Might be RNG. On another note, Glacial spike seems to sim a little bit higher than live servers for some reason. I'm doing some tests (200+ GS casts) and my average GS cast (both crit and non crit) seems to be ...

Another thing to take into consideration when simmimg. For some reason, Selphuz's Secret is proccing in simulations, greatly increasing the total DPS of this spec. In real raid envoirments, this ring doesn't proc at all on bosses.

Can someone confirm this stealth nerf? Simcraft show's me with 15% haste (today's build), but my ingame stats shows 24%. Since i'm new to the spec it's not feeling slower, but if this is the case, the nerf is absolutely massive.

Not sure if this has been awnsered, but i`m kind struggling on keeping an optimal rotation. One thing that is bothering me is the priority. I know that we fireball till heat up, fireblast to get hot streak, but after that, should you start casting another fireball to fireball > pyro or just instant...

Or was it just an update on the tooltip?

It was showing up to today 108% increased icelance damage, now it's just 72%.

I REALLY don't agree with use of PC on frost fights. Not even a single one. With 4p set you can extend IV for so long that sometimes it lasts for a full minute if you use the 14 sec cast + orb correctly. Plus it sims higher on 2+ target fights (most of the fights that you go frost are this scenario)...

So, i was @ the dummy for a hour before my raid, here's what i've found. For my gear, UM sims higher than SN fully raid buffed. Since i cannot easily sim that in dummies, i've decided to test it myself using only selfbuffs no lust / no consumables. I'm simming on both situations about 40k DPS. But o...
