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

I've been getting better results with shard+soul on ST but you have to enter conserve fairly early.

Super unimpressed with this legendary, used it in some mythic+10 runs was around 3% of my damage. Always fails to proc when it would be really useful.

Does the tarnished sentinel medallion proc off each tick of arcane missiles?

What about kilt eating up a tier slot when you want to use 4 piece+2 piece? Maybe Rhonins/Archmage will be better? I have some 925 titanforged tier 19 to keep 2 piece. On heavy cleave certainly kilt/shoulders.

Our spec has already been redesigned three times this expansion (originally, quickening redesign, quickening removal). Isn't that enough for one expansion?

I don't think they'll increase our cleave. That's edging in on frost's 2-target niche and fire's ignite spread niche. Arcane explosion is pretty strong on 4+ targets, especially in situations like Tichondrius bats. That's kind of arcane's niche. Our single target needs addressing, it's not nearly go...

Updated OP sections for 7.2 except for weights/Trinkets.

Are you sure about Gravity Spiral being that low? That seems to contradict my experience in game. I could definitely be wrong though. Seems like it would be quite valuable on low but not very low duration encounters.

My understanding is this: Simcraft's APL (Action Priority LIst) doesn't adapt to evocation's cooldown being different and doesn't take advantage of two charges of evocate. Basically simcraft is wrong for 4-piece and for Gravity Spiral. The problem is that changing the APL to do this also gets rid of...

Some of us live in a world where we have six legendaries and none of them are Shard of the Exodar or Mystic Kilt.

So Mark of Aluneth is getting a 33% damage boost and will restore 20% mana back.

Has anyone done any sim work on how this will affect mastery and if you'll want to cast MoA on cooldown instead of synced with arcane power? Also what are the implications for Cord of Infinity?

Doesn't the sim APL still not understand how to use two evocates and the evocation cooldown reduction?

I don't understand the mana changes. With tier set bonuses and legendaries and no quickening we'll have infinite mana.

To compensate for that they'll have to make our spells do less damage, what fun is that?

And the point of arcane is managing mana not ignoring it.

I'm simming at Int 9.01 Mastery 8.83 Vers 8.75 Crit 7.97 Haste 7.61 I used the most recent simcraft build on their daily builds folder. Resonance is my talent mind you, not supernova. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/emerald-dream/Ianarion/advanced" target="_blank Maybe it's because of your pan...

I'm very interested in the value of haste now with the changes.

I have a 885 swarming plaguehive, 850 shock baton, 875 stormsinger fulmination charge with socket, 865 Bough of Corruption, 850 Oakhearts. Trying to figure out if I should still go with shock baton and plaguehive.

I just looked up the trinket on live vs ptr.

Swarming Plaguehive's proc for instance

http://www.wowhead.com/spell=221812/plague-swarm" target="_blank

158000/175150 damage live.

http://ptr.wowhead.com/spell=221812/plague-swarm" target="_blank

108,000/119495 ptr.

I'm seeing a lot of different values on PTR vs Live on wowhead for trinkets. Has there been any communication from blizzard about this? Is it going to go live? I just looked at a few. 10% buff to Bough of Corruption's proc. 20% nerf to Swarming Plaguehive's proc. 20% buff to Stormsinger Fulmination ...

Arcane rebound is very useful in mythic+.

Not too useful in Emerald Nightmare.

Has anyone done any simming with regards to raid trinkets vs dungeon trinkets?

Oh. didn't scroll down.

It doesn't interact with nether tempest at all in any way. It procs a single time off arcane missiles. The proc rate isn't great. I wasn't impressed. Tried it out though https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/BQN1WpakntZw74Cc#type=damage-done&source=4" target="_blank Devilsaur+Oakheart's both were doi...

Nether Tempest doesn't interact with it at all. Neither application nor ticks proc it.
