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

Updated for progress/needs

STK's recruitment is open - looking for dedicated raiders, who are competent in raid, and focus on pushing their characters both inside and outside of raid. For exceptional applicants, we can help cover the cost of a transfer if the class/role is in demand for us. Progression: 10/10M, 9/9H, 5/9M Ser...

definitely miss alter time. That would be fun to have back

I doubt you are at shatter cap

This spec will most likely be nerfed if there is a lot of really high parses. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/10#boss=1853&class=Mage&spec=Frost" target="_blank https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/10#boss=1841&class=Mage&spec=Frost" target="_blank Literally one parse in the top 20 for both ...

Yeah it is hard to figure out stuff right now hahaha, on the RoP vs InFl with RoF RoP will be best for sure no doubt, but if you play with BC, I'm not quite sure, overall InFl will give you more bonus damage (ofc you can take advantage of the RoP burst, but with BC I'm not quite sure, we need more ...

Could you go over on why you pick some talents over others? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/10#class=Mage&spec=Frost" target="_blank logs are all over the place on talent choice, specially ROP vs Incanter's I think a rule of thumb for ROP vs Incanter's for Frost, for me anyway, has been: 1. A...

I actually just made a post I've been working on for a little bit right above yours if you want to check it out.

There is a lot of variety available based on specific encounters and I'd like to use some space on this forum to address what people have had the best results with on specific encounters. Disclaimer: What is in here is merely results-based with simulations as a baseline, I'm not trying for the pure ...

It's kinda unclear to me because frost with whatever it does on ST, is not very bursty which was always considered an advantage for priority targets and its AOE might not be great, while Arcane doesn't seem that great on ST either which is a problem for that spec since if it can't do high ST it mig...

I found the NPC yesterday and learned the spell...checked for some time and cauterizing blink worked. Maybe it was fixed or sometimes it works and some it doesn't? I believe they fixed Belo'vir's Stand in hotfix, hard to believe Cauterizing was overlooked since Fire is like 98% of the population ri...

Why do you believe they did it for the legendary? It's likely they wanted to alter the spec in whole. That having been said, it's getting out of hand when some people have legendary combos out of luck that are almost unbeatable, it's not like you can farm them/target them within a reasonable time f...

Is it worth using dragons breath with the 100% damage increase legendary on ST?

Yes

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...

EDIT: Gunpower -> Gunpowder Gunpowder Charges are amazing as well as being a cheaper option to Deadly Grace potions. They do 317k dmg by default (non-crit), however, it scales with Combustion, RoP, and PI stacks. So, before RoP/Combustion ends, chuck one of those at your target. Mine average about ...

It's because you queue a spell that is hard casted before the Hot Streak! buff is even up. The queuing window can still be reduced with custom commands because it's removed from the UI. The erroneous name it had before was "custom lag tolerance" (sidenote: it had little to do with lag tolerance and...

anecdotally I found it to be a DPS loss for 5 mans on beta. That said, with raid bosses lasting significantly longer it might be "ok" at least according to sims but frankly with how most of the raid fights are looking I don't see it being better on top of the fact that it is clunky as all get out AN...

Could you kinda abuse exodar legendary in raid, for example if u have to use lust on 50% or something u could leave party at pull use lust and be invited back ? Just tried on live and it doesn't work. Was in Mannoroth's room with one other person, I left group and used Time Warp, both of us gained ...

Thanks Frosted. Was this data after the hotfix frost buffs yesterday?

This is correct. PI is a higher overall dps gain than PR, even at early crit levels. Cauterizing blink helps leveling a fair amount as well.
