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

This nerf is listed in the recent azerite changes.

To add the comment of MI/IF above, I have found in TOS IF is simming now literally with a single percentage point of MI and way ahead of ROP for me but in practice is doing vastly better than both options likely secondary to the passive nature of the bonus that I cant screw up. Im not sure if the s...

Thanks a lot Zulandia that clarifies a lot! Lavok if you track icicles you can see that you have more than 0 after casting GS :) Since there is delay depending on range from the target, between getting icicles and doing damage WeakAura would be hard to track it Obviously I track icicles ;). It's ju...

A) You frostbolted an immune target/target dies while FB is in the air. You still receive +1 icicle in the buff/a real icicle however it has no damage (as the target was immune). This icicle will NEVER be consumed by GS and must be dropped through overcapping icicles to remove it. Is there any way ...

Based on the latest blue post about upcoming fixes to underperforming specs, these conclusions may still be up for debate

Yes, MI is absolutely better than ROP for ST. This is somewhat debatable depending on what leges and other gear you have. With certain setups RoP can sim stronger. If you are completely free to tailor your gear to suit MI on one hand or RoP on the other (a luxury not everyone has) then yeah, MI wil...

Because lets face it we were getting imba :( Mage (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator) Item - Mage T19 Fire 4P Bonus Hot Streak has a 10% chance to also grant you 20% Haste for 10 sec. (Changes to) 15% Haste for 10 sec. This is simply in line with othe...

You don't actually need to configure anything. Look through the APL on simcraft and you can see that robomage uses the proc. Whether that's right or not is up to your testing but in practice it's easily a dps increase. The APL is written like that because alternative priorities result in less dps. ...

Use firestarter talent for raiding (unless its super fast kills in lfr or normal modes). Good hc runs probably go into this super fast category as well (I know lots of top logs use it, just saying though). Arguably good rng with pyromaniac could be more beneficial on single target fights in these a...

Nice theorycradting but i kinda hate the fact that you say nerf bracers and belt. Dafuq wrong with you and every other mage thinking the same idea as you. Like cuase of your wining about the bracers and scorch fire mage are where they are now bottom rock down the ladder. Its called a fucking legend...

Bear in mind that this is based on what I remember from simming various combinations a while ago, not direct data. With belt/bracer combo I was able to reach similar level of ST damage in simulations (depending somewhat on fight length) with crit/mastery heavy build and RoP compared to haste heavy b...

Do you still plan to play fire or just fooling around on a farm?

Maybe some people just like playing it ? I don't see how this is remotely on topic in this discussion.

As I said, just filter warcraftlogs.com on all-stars in Mythic by Frost Mages only and check everyones uptime. It's unreal.

Correct legendaries, kill time and double ice lancing helps.

As far as relics go, iLvl pretty much trumps all. The higher the iLvl of the artifact, the higher the iLvl of the weapon and the more stats you get from it. This is deviates somewhat from what Architec posted in Frosted's thread concerning how much higher ilvl the crap relics need to be to trump a ...

Also word on the street is that rogues use gems et al without being allowed to.

Rogues using gems in crafted neck and rings ya for example.

Source would probably be the default profiles on github.

If you read the graph more closely, you see that the x-axis is stat delta, which in other words means stats added or reduced. To put it simply, it shows what happens when you add to or reduce crit or haste from the amount the profile has by default. Zero represents the default value of the profile. ...

What happens to haste at that point when it suddenly drops?

I can see the value of using one of these on pull with BL when things go very fast. The later ones are pretty fluid as to what procs u have available, so might not be wise to use it later on in the fight. Better use Conflagration not to waste procs of Pyromaniac

I don't know, why don't you try simming it or doing something other than imagining it. Not sure if you are replying to my post or the one after it, but the purpose here was simply to put some questions up for discussion and get feedback from people who actually have the know-how to effectively test...
