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

Shard is BIS for frost so equip that. According to Frosted's Sims, Shard it's not bis. Gloves + Bracers should be the way to go or am i missing something ? it always depends on fight. Sims are usually for 5 min. That means if your fight lasts only 2 minutes shard may be better, coz you have very hi...

no (unless belt).

Norrinir, could you please tell, what i should change in the code, so that the timer did not contain decimals? Needed: 10 sec, 9 sec, 8 sec etc Not needed: 9.4 sec, 6.6 sec, 5.4 sec etc In the function under display change: return string.format("%.1f", 10 - elapsed % 10) To return string.format("%....

Hey, Going to go ahead and lock this thread up since I really can not see it going anywhere productive (no one could possibly know Blizzard's plans moving forward and it's ripe for trolling). If you feel like your class or spec is in need of some love your best option will always be to head to the o...

Mages don't use default bloodlust (due to ring). Edit the time_warp line in the APL to achieves your desired results.

I understand how this works, but I don't agree with it still being in the game. It should have been patched out already. Setting lag tolerance to cause something that's not intended is an exploit. It is certainly an unintended behavior due to travel time of the spells however it is not an exploit t...

The artifact paths were put out with a message accompanying them. You really do yourself a deservice by not reading it.

This path is very different from what is simming highest for me and the mages I talked to. First three should go to LiG, CoT and IA, then the new traits should follow. And that is with bracers, which make OL better than it is without them. Ya your toons almost certainly have legendaries/are not wea...

Add a casting raid event:
change x and y to whatever you want (in whole seconds) to mimic however many procs you want.

It's the highest simming opener with gloves (you can make the logical leap that shattering EB is worth less than munching an IL with gloves/TV) which makes sense as you're guaranteed a munch vs. taking a chance on not critting. It's not a huge difference though you are likely fine with any quasi con...

EB->IV->IL->FB->Flurry->IL

Take the new path to Eruption then cherry pick whichever of the old 3/3s sim best for you. Will get the path graphics out tomorrow hopefully.

Once patch 7.2 hits, I wonder if it would be better to get the new Instability of the Tirisgarde trait and then move into getting 4/4 of the old BiS traits like Pyro damage and reducing Fireball cast time instead of getting the new stuff like longer Combustion and the random crit buff on PF. It is ...

Stuck this in the wrong forum, can someone move it to the ask for help forums

Done

You're going to want to post logs if you want anyone to really help you figure out where you are going wrong, that said you should run IF over MI.

That's exactly correct.

It's almost certainly PP for ST at your gear level as frost (and definitely PP for cleave/aoe). You can sim your toon using the flag: mage_potion_choice=pp To compare where you are at though (this will only work on a nightly/if no APL is passed in...if you pass an APL you need edit the potion choice...

So without going into too much detail each section of the APL (in this case precombat) is one big string as far as SimC is concerned. The first line of it will always just be '=' while the following are all '+=/' The plus equal operator says append this to the existing string then the slash is what ...

Hey Bink. Continuing our discussion in Discord: 1) variable,op=print only prints to stdout so you would have to run though a real debugger to use it. The code is set up that you could easily have it print to the SimC debugger though if inclined but you don't need to because: 2)The remaining variable...
