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

Thanks for the detailed response! I did not realize that the gloves gave a FoF proc directly when IV is used, I thought it was after 10 seconds that it gave me the first charge. I will keep that in mind and keep practicing. Some people have been telling me to go BC instead of LW. After looking at t...

I currently have Fire at 54(920) with all Fire DPS legendaries(no gloves) and man I am so happy to switch to TV Frost with only 40(907) artifact and no frost leges. In raids it pulls solid 700k with no serious fuckups and in M+, OMG m+ is so amazing, orbing trash and shattering bolts equates to abou...

What I am actually curious about, is the consistency of Whispers vs Valor. Since Whispers only sims for ~1-2k DPS better than Valor does (on the same iLvl of course), shouldn't Valor be always the better choice, because you're perfectly in control regarding combustion timing etc? I am pretty aware ...

Okay, I'll keep that in mind. Ty. Btw I just did Trilliax HC and my 4-set didn't proc XD 4 set is a bit flakey, but if you look at the proc rate on a full 10/10 run its kind of ok. I have been running Pyromaniac for a while, not sure if it procs it tho, someone in another thread said they are going...

Whether it's overpowered or not, the item was essentially doomed to be nerfed. Time warp has been perceived by the community to be an insane buff for your entire raid group ever since raiding began. So it makes sense that if someone hears a Mage gets more than one TW, obviously it's overpowered. Pe...

-snip- Does anyone have the "advanced" version of the marquees bindings weak aura, that shows the cast time as well? Actuelly, a weak aura that just show the current cast time of pyuroblast would be just as good. Just pure text, no icons or nothing, with like 1 or 2 decimals. EDIT: Got a guildie to...

I wish we still had hybrid tax concept. Yes, it is an outdated and "unfair" concept, but if they cant guarantee single purpose classes are top, it is just sad. Why would you roll a mage right now - yes some of the utility is fun like scorch sprint, cauterize, but you can barely make it to top10.

The problem with sim is it does not account for when does the negative buff proc What does this mean? Lets say Guldan. Phase 2. You get green buff. Within 2 seconds you get Empowered Bonds. Now you are with bonds, out of range of the boss and counting how many people are in your circle. Circle brea...

Metronome at 885>Whispers@895 (base heroic levels)? I havent done a single sim showing this to be the case. Maybe Im doing something wrong, but my sims are showing Whispers at 895 beating 885 Metronome by at least 2K dps. The problem with sim is it does not account for when does the negative buff p...

Actually in the Q&A when talking about the ring Ion said they wanted to nerf it because it was not in line with other legendaries. Not sure if he meant that it was too good or not shit enough like the other utility.

My metronome is 885 with socket. and my wotd is 895. i have a horn of valor 900 ilvl(only decent trink). Maybe i should farm the trink from botanist , What do you think i should do? I have all NH trinkets at 890+ and using the same combo atm. I am testing this week to see how it will work with hard...

As someone who mains Fire and just recently got all Fire dps legendaries, I cant wait to play Frost in 7.2 :D The question is not only about how many boss npcs there are in total per fight, but what kind of uptime you get on each, how many(3-4 targets is pretty sweet for a mage, unless they die fast...

I think you will find this thread quite useful and full of tips(one of my posts is quite extensive); maybe not exact positioning per boss, but a general idea. Playing a mage(or I guess any class) is quite mechanical, but usually a boss mechanic will try to screw up your day. In that case, there is s...

At this point if you are a hardcore raider you should hit M+ haaaaaaaaaaard. Removing DRs on leges means they are reliably grindable and MoS is still not nerfed. Man, if this is how the game was 4 years ago when I was in uni I would totally nolife it until I have all BiS before 7.2 raids hit.

Hi guys, sorry for my bad english. I am in trouble with whispers trinket in fire. It is in the first place on the trinket's board but on my logs the proc rate is very low. erratic metronome seems more regular. What do you think about whispers ? I have been getting pretty good results with whispers(...

I used to have a Naga for many years, but switched to Naga Hex and recently, to Naga Hex V2, and have been very happy with it. It has 7 buttons instead of 12, but is fairly quiet. For keyboards - there are actually silent mechanical keyboards(by razer too) on Amazon, just check it out. I wanted to g...

So this might be interesting to know when considering re-rolling: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20753149009?page=1#1" target="_blank TL;DR No longer any diminishing returns on legendary drop rate after third legendary.

If you have chest, ring and boots that means you still dont have a "primary" spec - whatever spec you choose, there is a big chance your next leg will be really strong for it.

I was previously running MI or ROP on Botanist and getting great results, then this week tried to focus on ST ignite stacking(so no FS/FP) and saw much better numbers. Then I realized I had FS relics before and move to pyro ones. For heroic I would recommend also iFlow as you get the freedom to move...

If you want to do m+ and at least heroic raid clears I would go for Fire. Frost is frawned upon in M+ because people still dont know its actually an amazing spec, while with Fire you can cleave around a lot. I have been recently dabbling in Frost and Arcane and Fire feels much easier to play(no need...
