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

Hey guys, Preheat here. I'm an officer and raider in Complexity Limit. I've packaged up my UI and made it available to anyone. Mostly this is designed for Fire Mage since that's what I play. If you are curious what it looks like here are examples https://i.imgur.com/RQAx5h5.png https://i.imgur.com/u...

http://i.imgur.com/VCBOLtP.png 1500 stats is pretty low for a 940. You lose even more of the budget at 970 compared to another. FT paired with another isn't strong enough to make this good for frost. FO is a similar story, and since bracers are so important (and hat for AoE) there isn't much wiggle...

Assuming that the ring remains statless and ends up giving Frozen Touch: http://i.imgur.com/tGjP79U.png Sims run using my character with standary talents and no legendarys. No additional math to model the damage increase due to synergy between FT/SI simultaneously So it looks like for my character t...

Have they said anything about new legendaries? As the most recent PTR (24076), wowhead has datamined some legendary rings. So far, it seems that these rings omit secondary stats for giving you an extra talent. For example, the druid legendary ring gives Soul of Forest for all 4 specs. Allowing drui...

Shouldn't we fix mana regen in SimC, because in reality we never go OOM, even never go under 80% mana? Any thoughts on what to add to the profile to always have 100% mana? In reality you can still go OOM, but at least for me it requires over 7mins in a patchwork environment (which isn't likely to h...

The int only one is listed there as well and should be accurate. (it's kind of far behind deadly grace unfortunately)

Posting for mobile, will add more details later: So a mix of a little sim/napkin math here- Since I use arcanocrystal I used the custom trinket function in simc to pretend it's the new potion. I made sure that I only got 2 uses per fight and lined it up with combustion / lust etc. also didn't use de...

Arcanocrystal is GROSSLY overbudget. Sim run using my armory: Other trinket is http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=139326/wriggling-sinew&bonus=1806 http://i.imgur.com/SorZR4h.jpg Pairwise: http://i.imgur.com/zPc9V0b.jpg Make sure you go find J'im and try to get that trinket. Coining his is 100% worth it si...

Adding this since it seems the reason why roboMage is doing less dps with the http://www.wowhead.com/item=132410/shard-of-the-exodar is because it's running OOM. If this gets fixed this is what to expect.

Testing the viability of frostbolt weaving (with tome) into prismatic crystal: SimulationCraft 620-01 for World of Warcraft 6.2.0 Live (build level 20157) Timestamp: Sun Jun 21 22:19:36 2015 Iterations: 25007 // Fight Length: 360 - 540 // Fight Style: Patchwerk Results here: http://i.imgur.com/trpoA...

Was running multi-target sims to check how many targets it would take to make fire overtake arcane. I found out that the magebot on 4 targets was doing way more damage than on 5 targets due to Mark of Doom. I made a few changes and am seeing a huge gain: actions+=/call_action_list,name=aoe,if=active...

Interesting idea. I went ahead and set up a sim with a cooldown override on evocate. The sample arcane profile APL won't make use of the shorter cooldown on evocate on it's own since it also looks at other cooldowns. I went ahead and modified the APL a bit to make better use of a 30second evocation ...

Although it'll probably be our BiS, Archimonde trinket won't really be over-the-top good until we get our rings. It's still competitive though. DPS Ranking: 650225 100.0% Raid 92275 14.2% T18M_Arcane_UM_ROP_PC_ring_sync_Beam_Arch 87750 13.5% T18M_Arcane_SN_ROP_PC_ring_sync_Beam_Arch 87535 13.5% T18M...

In regards to Mirror images and pet being able to dps the crystal: These changes really only have an effect on frost. At least, that's the only time I use Mirror Images (Maybe this is planning for Arcane T18 4p?). Since you can control the water ele you will see a tiny dps increase by effectively sw...

When I first saw the change I was happy I would no longer have to worry about double-spreading my ignites. Finally, no more added stress about setting up my combustion! Then I played on the PTR as fire, and it was bizarre. Setting up my combustion was just too easy. I just couldn't shake the weird f...

When I say clipping I mean casting Arcane Missiles while mid-channel from another Arcane Missiles.

Perhaps it's to make mastery more attractive, making the switch from arcane/fire to frost easier.

God, I hope so. The better mastery starts looking the more inclined I am to try frost out again.

Oh boy, it's like patch 6.0 all over again. Oh the memories...

Hey guys, As most of you already know Arcane missiles are a "pandemic" spell which means that if you recast arcane missiles while already casting arcane missiles your extra missiles from the previous cast get rolled over into a new cast. I noticed last night that I can get an extra missile out two m...
