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

Why would you ever want your spell to do 20% less damage. If you see people cancelling the channel they are doing it wrong and when looking at peoples logs this is only of the thing I look for to see how many times they clipped their AM casts. The only situation you would want to cancel the channel ...

Try equipping the AP Glyph when using Tome as this will be causing you to go OOM in the sims or have shorter burn periods.

There is a few in the WA and Macro section.

This one specifically does the extra FoF procs & 2nd BF proc http://altered-time.com/forum/viewtopic ... 696#p15943

There are a few options for this. If you are in range, you can use Arcane Explosion as this is instant cast and can be used every GCD. Another benefit of this if it hits something, it refreshes the timer on your Arcane Charges so they won't drop off while you are moving. Another option if you are in...

Arcane/Fire/Frost have such distinctive fantasies that I can't see merging any of them. It's a very different case from DHs. "Needing all the specs" is not an issue at all. In fact, I think it would be even better, and I also prefer things stay that way. Having 3 viable specs on Imperator, each pro...

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the reasoning behind 2100 haste before mastery starts to pick back up, and what is that specifically based around? I have 2500 haste, and it still outpaces mastery on single target I am finding unless Supernova talented. Just curious. You pretty much answered it you...

I'll wait for beta to be out before bumping the "suggest glyphs" thread but that was fun and I can't wait for Blizzard to once more squander all my brilliant ideas by not implementing them.

You are better doing something like that now so they have more of a chance to implement them

Komma has done a great post here explaining how different talents and items effect players stat weights.

-If you know that in say 15 seconds from the pull, the boss is going to enter a phase where they can't be damaged, would you even bother going into BURN at the start? It is very un-common for there to be nothing to attack in which case you would simply switch targets and continue burning. But if th...

This isn't speculation, but more something I would like to see. I like how the legendary items work now in that everyone gets to have a chance to work on it and reap the benefit rather than one person in the raid (who can then leave the guild) because in Firelands we had 3-4 people leave the guild b...

So if I use Evanesce to dodge artillery; will it still explode to people around me?

No

I'm new to all this in one sense, so how would I go about providing logs? type "/combatlog" when you want to start logging and then do it again when you want to stop. preferably when you are in a raid but dummies will do as well. You then upload the logs to http://www.warcraftlogs.com" target="_bla...

I also found it procs on polymorph and proceeds to break that polymorph XD

Then it is a very silly fish then isn't it.

AMR is not that great at predicting trinkets. The reason for this is it uses a gear score to rank items and this is calculated using the flat values or possibly even an average of stats for a minute. E.g. Your stat values Int = 1 and crit = 0.8. A trinket with 220 Int and 130 crit would have a gear ...

Yeah, that sounds about right. I have you doing 22K via SimC self buffed.

Enough to make sure you will want to get the ring ASAP.

Would you mind if I translate this and post to Korean wow site? best arcane guide ever seen, btw :lol: I spoke to Dutchmagoz via IRC for you. He said this is fine but you will need to credit him as the original author and for there to be a link to Altered-Time.com. Not much to ask but I'm sure you ...

If you are following the guides then there is not much I can really recommend other than get into an LFR and see what you can do fully raid buffed. This will help you to see the fights before you step in the raid as well so it is not a complete shock. As you are from 4.3, the Arcane Burn & Conserve ...

Are there any boss specific advices which trinkets to use?

Don't use PoF on Gorefiend Mythic but that is all ready in the list of tips.
