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

This is the priority list tied to the Burn Phase. What this list essentially tells you is that you should cast Arcane Missiles as they proc, and then burn your mana until you have less than 50% mana. Due to the high mana costs of Arcane Blast at 4 stacks of Arcane Charges, you will need to know the...

Okay, to make this into an analogy. you got a keeper in football, (soccer for amerixans). He doesnt enjoy using his hands, so he solely keeps using his legs. He creates a whole technique with which he can in his league do okay. If he wants to expand and become beter though he will need to learn to s...

Thanks, I'll check out Icy Veins' forums; I didn't realize they had forums but in hindsight I probably should've known!

There's a button called forums, right on top!

One misconception, higher mastery rating doesnt mean higher loss due to burning. The relatie %loss of madtery gain remains the same at all mastery ratings

Zhengma, your method ignores mana as a spell resource. Even at 0 mastery we'd still conserve to have activity uptimr.

Q: You rate Arcane so highly! Doesn't it suffer heavily from movement? A: Not really. With Ice Floes, Arcane honestly doesn't suffer that much more than Fire and Frost do. While Fire and Frost have instant procs that are usable on the move, proc generation is often dependent on casting filler anywa...

With 4xAC you can regenerate the mana needed for 93% in one tick. Burn is a gain

I'd prefer if this was fixed xD

Nested quotes are limited to a maximum of 3 nested quotes. If the height of the quote becomes too big it will scroll now. Example: This is too long of a quote. This is too long of a quote. This is too long of a quote. This is too long of a quote. This is too long of a quote. This is too long of a q...

Because you cap Missilies!

Changed some stuff, updated with correct values/coefficients. Added some parts/removed some others. Kept a few for discussion because I'm not sure how to commit them to "paper" correctly.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess the recent update didn't include all the changes so some incorrect info from pre-Wod Launch stuff is in there, together with some beta stuff (like PC and GCD).
Working on it!

maybe add all WA's on the OP to gather them together?

1) yes always
2) No, never
3) Yes, if you read the guide that's how conserve looks like. You don't wait for AM to reach 3 stacks before you cast.
4)No, experimentally it's incorrect. Only build AC with ABlast unless you have 3xAM stacks

If I'm to guess, Frost will not be the best min/max spec on any BRF fight. It wasn't that way in any MoP fight, and it wasn't that way in Highmaul either. I didn't play WoW before MoP so can't comment on prior raids. What Frost has is good all round potential, but this has been gutted heavily since...

And Frost becomes a meh spec for PvE in comparison to it's companions :/

I'm linking this post on my guide! I assume that's ok with you Komma?
Also huge gratz on killing him!

Yep it does my bad. I think you should in the general of the guide not expect perfect conditions. Like, RoP might be slightly better but you need 5% uptime loss for MI to get ahead!

I was fairly certain that it didn't o.O
I'll check it tomorrow! If i'm mistaken there pardons.

Is it just me or are you describing getting a 3d FoF charge during WJ a worst case scenario? xD
Also, you should know that Frozen Orb gets activated after it hits the first target. (at least that was the case during beta and MoP). So you don't lose uptime when FO is fired from a distance!
