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

I'd pre-use Orb as to already have it not be a disruptive global during your burn with the trinket. Other than that your order and priority seems fine to me

but all you're doing is arcane blast and arcane barrage. literally 0 reason to ever cast arcane missiles Aside from this being wrong, ok. If we're talking a computer-perfect sim, fine, but in-game is not perfect and we have to make decisions based on mechanics and movement. There are many applicati...

>remember that it adds on to the AP buff if it procs while your cooldowned AP is active. I was wrong here, after playtesting it will only cap to 10s (likely a parameter of how the spell is coded, and OP/Legion's artifact weapon add(ed) onto the max), but the likelihood of this happening is probably ...

Not a fan of Rune of Power with Arcane Power being tied to global. You get a max of 4 spells off while not having the spell and using Incanter's allows you mobility and the same damage from not wasting a global, particularly when paired with Time Anomaly, which should allow you to alternate use of P...

Removing the stacks of arcane missiles was an awful deicison. It makes the rotation feel so clunky and makes slipstream unreliable. I didn't even use slipstream, but I can't understand the reasoning behind the change. They also made mana management easier, which I feel was one of the things that ma...

My personal opinion is that people would rather play the easier specs than Arcane, and I don't blame them. But in my opinion, the damage steroid that is AP is more important than the other main cooldowns for Frost and Fire and really benefits raiding. Think of all of the transitional damage that is ...

I can't help but feel that they are Blizzard's way of telling us to play a different spec, so I'm already farming Fire legendaries. Explosion is too much, missiles feels weak, the new animations feel like wet noodles to be honest.

The Big issue was, that if you mess up your Combustion Window of 10 secs every 90 secs, your Damage was shit. This also applies to Arcane but they didn't completely re-design our kit for a tier or two. One of the learning curves of playing is using cooldowns appropriately and in windows that allow ...

Noticed this yesterday but had seen it another time and didn't think much of it. I just assumed it was going to be our final appearance for the Argus zone, but why would they have it already displayed?

Looks like they are adding the buffered textures from D3 and the projectile movements for Arcane Missiles, looks good IMO. We already knew we were playing the D3 MMO anyways.

I feel as if we are analyzing Arcane from a sustained perspective, but this is one of the top or the single burstiest spec in the game. Where you can view logs and put a finger on how we are at a statistical disadvantage because we aren't melee and take time, consideration, and set-up to supplement ...

I think the biggest problem a mage is going to have in higher difficulties is learning the correct positioning, maybe you can go into detail about where you are positioning your toon to maximize your dps on encounters. I know that's my biggest problem in tackling Mythic, it always seems as if I'm st...
