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

What is everyones crit looking like right now? I'm ar 341 and 23% crit. Are people using Torrent of Elements on there weapon or Deadly Navigation to keep crit up also? I would like to know what the consensus on this is too... I am using the haste enchant and not sure if that's my best option, both ...

I think your opinion and your arguments lack alot in matter of experience in this expansion and "skill", as you like to call it yourself. Calling IF a low-skill pick is just stupid. At this moment there is very little reasons to take RoP, even if you play it perfectly the reward is so small, that it...

What is the meaning of having a Boss addon, if you don't want any of its features?

You can see that under the specific spec forums.

So you're using your beacon without combustion on high command at the first set of adds? pretty sure thats not worth.

If you aren't good enough to play around talents like pyromaniac and ROP u should play other talents or practice them.
Fact is that those are still best in most ST situations.

Firestarter is smart to use on some fights even though pyromaniacs simming higher on ST. especially if you have beacon trinket cause u wanna use it together with combustion. The reason is that boss needs to get moved to certain places before u pop all your things. Otherwise pyro/firestarter is prett...

Ideally u wanna sim your statweights to see the right stat to choose. U can do that on raidbots.
Otherwise if u run kindling, and have less than 55% crit u probably wanna run crit.

After all bracers are dead after ice floes removal, and can the fire spec compete then? Proberly not. Good luck hardcasting a 4s pyro on helya without ice floes, that will be a challenge. Maybe they're not nerfing the fire spec seen from a casual / simdps point of view, but it will definately be a d...

Ppl who have the bracers and progress with it, will realise, that the dps increase isn't that big as it is in sims.
But without the bracers, fire mages will be quite low on dps meters, cause there is NO dps outside combustions.

Deadly, cause they're best.

not all have to soak all the time. Maybe the 2 last ones, but other than that it's pretty manageble to not soak all the time and get more dps.

It's a dps race, and if u can't get a good dps, it doesn't matter. U just get more roars and get fucked either way.

Ppl messing up their CD's usage because they want it to be ready for boss.
It's not about making most dmg on bosses, it's about making most dmg overall. So use CD whenever you can, even though it will not be up on start on boss.

It's crit>int/haste with bracers.

Haste is strong with bracers, crit is still better.

You can crit 2,5m with rop without combust also. I cannot see how this can be Worth at all. You can't make a "burst" phase without combust.

I would have taken Hive over Baton, and then crystal.

Ring and bracer, faster kills and rng. Thats how u Push top ranks.

Not if u wanna hit brackets. Use your combustion every time u can. Doesn't matter what targets it's on. Thats how u hit brackets. U don't hit brackets by doing tacs and switching targets. Ofcause u can still do that, but it's a dps loss. So sometimes u have to ask yourself the question, do i wanna p...
