Hows Flame Patch doing? Which fights in NH would you favor it over LB? I prefer FP over LB at the Botanist. It's just insane DMG when all 3 of them are active. You can place FP all the time under them and you get tripple DMG. I like it. i also use it for chromatic little adds, its crazy how dmg inc...

Yes, this means that your second (or even third) lust will only last 25 sec, instead of the current 40 sec. You also can't be the first one to use lust if you want to benefit from this legendary (previously, you could start the fight with TW and have someone else lust for you). u will have no 3rd b...

For some reason every time i cast shimmer while hard casting pyroblast it interrupts the cast. Has anyone else had this issue? It only happens with pyroblast. 1. mb u have /stopcasting macro for pvp 2. you shimmer moving your camera at the angle your mage can't cast to the boss bcz its not in front...

Hi Guys! Long time reader so thanks to all the amazing mages that contribute to this awesome site. I finally registered to ask my first question as I am having severe problems in NH compared to some of my colleagues and the fire mage community. While I know a large portion of my disappointment in m...

Crit is not equal to happiness this patch as fire. I my self run around 37-40% crit on single target i run 34% haste, 15% mastery and 9% vers, with ilvl 900.. i did that once at 7,1,5 patch and you will struggle to get over 600k if u wana pull 600 to 700k to dps, go back to your crit and you will r...

i have it on the bank 1. if u try to run kindling+hands u will never have enough instants to do something useful with that combustion spam 2. its better to use tier on hands i really hope they'll get better with the 7.2 patch and i can pair them up with the belt for a viable kindling/comb spec (or ...

All caps and bold font, I guess you must be right then. Try not to hide the point you're trying to make under a pile of verbal trash. Maybe someone who's actually running progress M+ could give his or her perception on the issue. if by the current issue you mean the op one: How do we maximize our D...

2. its better to use tier on hands

since u open a post here and do this question i will guess that "high m+" for you is something like what i do (image)and not actually high m+ that would be 22+. https://i.gyazo.com/04e162542e64cf48afb96411ee36d699.png And the awnser to your post isn't related to simulators, dungeon packs and neither...

From what I can tell it isn't the overvaluing of haste that is the issue with the belt, but the undervaluing of crit as a result of having the belt. This combined with Mirror Images favoring haste over crit only puts more emphasis on this. Then on top of this, the moment you add movement to the equ...

Stat weights are fluid for mages since 7.1.5. Simming the characters is the best tool we have to get a feel about what stats work best. It should be noted that our legendaries and our talents change the priority of the stats a lot. I have trusted the stat weights that SimulationsCraft has been give...

Hi all, I've been using simc (nightly) for a while now and since the 7.1.5 came out and blizz decided to rework the fire belt im having some issues with stats weights. What i did notice is that if i simulate myself with the belt since it gives u the 100% crit at 30% and i also have 2pc of tier for t...

if u want to use CIS you just need to do it from the mobs to the start of the dungeon (backwards) so you always hit a clear zone, also usually from the side is a good angle too. What I perceived (and what basically every related post states) is that our basic priority for ST should be Int>Versa>Crit...

1. u need to cast meteor BEFORE you poping combustion (so with the delay falls in combustion) that will boost a bit your opening and put you in a better place for all the fight. 2. i feel like playing conflagation on ST in 7.1.5 3. use prolonged power with MI. 4. use well your blasts and pi so u hav...
