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

good evening

Today i drop fire gloves and just have 1 good legendary.... the bracer.
i will use the gloves and i wanna know one thing:

How Combustion works with mirror image?

Best thing you can do is pretend you never got those gloves.

Logs are the best way to get help. Go to system > network > enable advanced combat logging. Que for LFR, first wing in Emerald Nightmare. Before you pull the boss type /combatlog. Flask up, food, pre-pot like a real fight. Download Warcraftlogs client @ warcraftlogs.com and upload the log. It'll giv...

That's only because I used combustion/DB on the minions and tentacles before P3 started (we had mages killing minions). Why not just look at sims? It greatly pulls ahead 2+ targets and I don't think it uses it to it's full potential. Everything is situational, how can you say it's "situational". Jus...

It's an extremely strong talent. Just because you don't find it to work well for yourself and it doesn't feel good to use doesn't mean it's not good. It's very good 2+ targets. Like I said before I didn't know the math single target but hands down the best talent for any 2+ targets w/ DB helm. DB w...

The only situation where I'd take AF over FO is during a constant aoe fight. Basically a fight where I could use dragon's breath on cd. Taking AF over FO in a single target encounter feels like such a handicap, you're basically swapping out a free fb every 8s for a heating up every 20s on gcd that ...

? I do soak the roar though, I was stacked for cacophony. Sometimes you can be just out of range and not get hit but I am stacking for it. I only missed 1 cacophony the whole fight. Save your 2nd combustion for when the add spawns, as soon as it spawns use your combust. That means all your combustio...

Even if you were to play perfect you'll still be way behind bracers users. They ARE that strong. Look at many of the mages that used to get rank 1s in other expansions (check WCL) and without bracers we can't even get in top 50 this expansion, lol. Joke of an expansion if you don't get bis legendari...

I believe I saw a post on the actual forums and people with the legendary helm will probably be using AF. Not sure though, I hope (obviously it'll 100% be used on any sort of cleave because the guaranteed crit is insane). As I have the helm..on the other hand. I really think the bracers need toned d...

Slapped on an extra 5% to critical mass. It does help a lot since the crit struggle was real. With a high int stat stick (say legendary trinket) you can hit 3.2m pyros with the bracers. Bracers still mandatory for the deeps. Also the legendary trinket seems meh single target now...but the stats prob...

The new gloves would be broken w/ combustion on live. I can see why they want to nerf combustion but the spec as of now on PTR is gutted even more then it was last PTR. Not sure what's going on, still plenty of time left. We'll see.

Sheeeeesh, I thought I've seen nerfs before but these...lol. No more ice block, ice floes, gutting our burst, which is pretty much all our damage to begin with and trashing the bracers that are keeping mages competitive atm. Sheeeeesh. No way most of this goes live. Fire would be obliterated. Seems ...

There's something weird going on with sinew, I don't know what triggers it. Sometimes spells just do not register a sinew stack. It really makes the opening rotation off. People reporting fire blast doesn't count as a stack, some people saying it does. It does, but sometimes doesn't. I don't know wh...

Word when Gnawed Thumb Ring will be worked in SimC? If it isn't already. (Doesn't show it being used in mine)

EDIT: It's in the newest nightly build, awesome.

Just bought an 850 one for 100k. Say that's a damn good deal

Doesn't seem right. If I'm not mistaking simcraft doesn't run, maybe haste is good for that, idk.

New video, Mythic Socrethar in 32* (edit from 33) seconds (before dominator) rank 1. Got lucky on the RNG :D More videos on my channel as well. Mainly I put these up to hopefully help people. Mythic Socrethar 33 seconds/Rank 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BSWSBKrYkA" target="_blank Also fire r...

Seems like a heavy exploit and bannable I'd imagine.

Super low crit xD very risky low crit more times then not probably screws you over

Got 196k with 0 phoenix procs, couldn't imagine with.
