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

i got arcane legs while specced fire with having 12/12.

This. I was actually browsing the web for a specific patch or hotfix note for that, but I couldnt find the exact one, but Im sure I read it somewhere a while ago.

Maybe the reason why they haven't done it yet is that it would force other adjustments? Without the double ice lance and in the absence of additional tuning, Frost DPS would surely plummet. I have to admit though, I really like the mechanic. It's fun and has a solid balance between risk and reward....

Its an easy fix though and they need to change it. Just let winters chill expire if it got hit by an ice lance or the time runs out.

The notes also say they're upping the damage of most frost spells by about 20%. Compensation for IV uptime loss? I guess they want to take away the fun part of playing TV frost mage, while also removing the skill gap of the play style. Thats what they did with fire too. They really force the way TH...

Yes but it's a bit fickle. You won't have on demand burst aoe like fire or arcane. Blizzard becomes part of your single target rotation (cast blizz @ 5 stacks from the belt).But by no means should you delay the cast of blizzard just to wait for 5 stacks of the buff ie spellblade adds (you're able t...

They should just increase the radius to 5 or even 8 yards

Yes, and its super annoying.

The only significant thing I can see from your logs, is that you keep forgetting your second pot in your top logs. Also try to line up icy veins with orb and second pot.

FeelsBad being a blood elf

We are looking pretty though!

This fight isn't good for all mage specs to be honest. Somehow raidleaders assume mages are perfect for soaking the swirls widest away(which they are with shimmer) and shit on you for not doing enough dps. Irony I guess :roll: If you're soaking far away from the boss(not in range anymore) and you do...

From what I can see in your logs you got the rotation down, as you're parsing very high at your itemlevel. You dont log high overall though so lets talk about some other things. Your gear is not optimized at all. You need 30% - 33,4% crit to properly shatter youre ILs, you dont have 4set and you don...

Thanks for replying, should have thought about logging out with the right gear. My stats for the fight were: Intellect: 48,097 Crit: 12,252 Haste: 6,012 Mastery: 5,885 Versatility: 2,489 The other guy's: Intellect: 49,019 Crit: 13,859 Haste: 6,880 Mastery: 2,201 Versatility: 1,912 Checkmywow was a ...

I have it since 1-2 weeks now and from what I've seen it should be only cast if your at 5 stacks on ST and UM will outperform AG if its pure ST. As soon as there is one add in the fight AG should be better(I run AG most of NH). Your AoE rotation doesn't change, because you're supposed to cast blizza...

The only things I noticed whilst comparing with http://www.checkmywow.com/ is, that he has critted more fireballs than you, which could be a gear issue, but I can't check your arsenal cause you have frost gear and spec on. Also he has 16s more uptime casting on the boss(you have 32 seconds downtime ...

Thanks, Katsu. Why whould you thank us? We should be thanking you :lol: To the topic and to roung that up: Fire: +good for sustained aoe -not so good ST Arcane: +good for priority adds +less gear/legendary dependant -not so good ST Frost: +very good ST -not so good if there are RP/phases with no dm...

I wish i could get this to work as it looks very good and is exactly what I want. Can't get it to show the bars ever. Tried playing around with the triggers to locate the problem but no dice. Do you have the english client though? I'm german and running the german client, so I had to rename all the...

So looking at your talents: Try http://eu.battle.net/wow/de/tool/talent-calculator#eba!2021010" target="_blank . I know its a hassle with the freaking waterelemental but it will increase iv uptime even further. To the CR topic: I personally dont care about the buff at all, I'm not even tracking it c...

85% of your ILs where non-crit ones so thats a thing you can improve on. Also you didn't cast blizzard once this fight, where you could've reduced orb CD by a lot. Generally speaking if there are 2 or more targets, cast blizzard. You forgot your second pot and you didn't get the essence of night deb...

Lets look at your gear first: You need to loose mastery in favor of either haste or versatility. You are good on the crit though. For trinkets you want to go for erratic metronome and whispers in the dark. which should be a big plus in itself. Also I use mark of the claw enchant on my neclace becaus...
