I see all the top mages using the crit variant of the pvp trinket. when i sim the haste is hands down the best as crit is our worst stat. I see that the crit variant gives a larger int bump on use but the haste on lasts longer. Does anyone have insight as to why people in limit and echo are using th...

Bump

Looking to level an alt and i love Fire mage play style. Is there a non mage spec that play similar in PVE ? Will not be doing any PVP.

Is there a break point in which crit becomes the best stat? I see on guides crit as the generic best stat. Obviously you have to sim yourself but crit is always my lowest lol and it’s still terrible for me even if I’m close to 60% crit . So I guess I’m confused why it’s generalized our best if I can...

i Notice it says to take pyroclasm and the the bracers are still BIS. so do you both take pyro and use the bracers?

I know it’s beta. And normal will constantly be adjusted but just curious how fire is looking so far .

Anyone know what this is or how it works? Saw dylemma mention it in a video title.

I hear ya. I'm hoping fire stays strong. It's always been my favorite. Still need those gloves tho .

Anyone been testing out PTR or seen anything on which spec will fair well in the new raid? Wether it be from set bonuses or just general fight mechanics giving a spec the edge?

Apparently I can't attach a screenshot because it's too large haha . But my weights are haste 20.45 , mastery 20.39 on a pure ST patchwork fight using incanters flow

After getting 4 piece from TOS I made the switch to Incanters flow from MI because of my simming and I've also noticed mastery has rapidly climbed to one of my best ST stats. I've also noticed some top fire mages stacking mastery. Is IC the reason for mastery becoming more valuable for ST?

Moderator note: moved to Q&A.

Do we have any ideas what will be BIS wether it be for Glacial spike or a new variation of the thermal void build.
