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

What the previous poster said. Also keep in mind that movement heavy fights punish arcane DPS output. With the right talents, traits and rotation, if you can turret, arcane provides consistent single target damage and insane burst. Unfortunately most of Eternal Palace involves lots of movement. On a...

A few things in looking through your logs. On your King Rastakhan mythic fight, you're only using Glacial Spike about 84% of the time. Some of that can't be helped, especially in phase 3 where things get crazy. The biggest DPS loss in that fight for you is your 35% downtime. I know there's a small c...

The best way to help you would be to have you post your logs. Or you can just take your logs and run them through www.wowanalyzer.com, which breaks it down and tells you in an easily understandable way what you're doing right, and what you could improve upon. Another way I use to get better at raidi...

My current talent setup is Lonely Winter, Frozen Touch, Splitting Ice and Thermal Void. The generally recommended setup of Bone Chilling, Ebon Bolt, Comet Storm and Glacial Spike in total only sims 0.10% (1/10th of 1%) higher for me. Generally I'm a min/max kind of person, but LW/TV is so much easie...

If you've always wanted to try playing a mage, you should certainly do so. It's always been my main (since WotLK). All 3 specs are fun in my opinion. I've used frost as my main mostly, however with the new expansion I've drifted to arcane for a change in flavor. Mages are incredibly mobile, especial...

Thank you so much for your input! At times I have a very static way of looking at things (which isn't ideal in this case). I really appreciate your thoughts, experiences and opinions on this! Keep the knowledge coming!

P.S.

Here is my armory though in case anyone wants to know exactly what I have equipped:

Quick story and then a question for the experts out there... Aside from myself, there are two other frost mages that raid regularly in my guild. I'm thermal void, one is glacial spike, and the other waffles between the two. We all have our 4 piece set bonus for the T20, and our stats are pretty much...

Awesome! You have been such a tremendous help!

I don't have Shard of the Exodar (warp ring) yet, but I'm actively looking/hoping for it soon! Great advice on the planning and timing of movements. For the most part Maiden is a very scripted fight. I'll have to learn to plan a little more and be less of a "reactionary" player. I'm going to play wi...

Thank you very much for taking the time to look that over and give such a well thought out answer! I do have other legendary items, including Prydaz. The way I'm equipped now is to a.) keep my T20 4 piece set bonus, and b.) to keep me at the 33.34% shatter cap. My hope is that as I get more epic dro...

So I started playing WoW during the WOTLK era, and after that took a break until just after Legion came out. After that time I thought I knew my stuff...I have a high item level, my stats are well balanced (I think), I sim myself frequently, and I've studied a lot about opening sequence, rotations, ...

I almost thought this was a joke. As mentioned before, you're parsing blue and purple in your bracket %, so you're doing very well. Like a previous post mentioned, better gear over time, perhaps some haste, and you'll be parsing orange. Seems to me you should be writing articles in here. Nice work!
