Anyone have a macro to avoid munching both fire blasts?

what are the odds of a 725 trinket from a 5 man though (as some one who is trying to peddle a 695 5 man trinket for fire)

Low, but some players might be able to re-obtain it from item restoration, may already have it, or may get bored and farm it in the next month and a half

You know I have to ask this as the author of the mythic dungeon trinkets thread

the best you can do to make sure nova procs on crystal is to place crystal outside of the bosses hit box, hit that once to proc nova on the crystal. then pull the boss into the crystal range. However this does not all ways work. 100% chance to work if you wait 4 minutesish and don't zone in/out or ...

You linked a different char on bnet than your logs. So i'm going by Aoa. Using Fel Lord, which is among the fairest fights, https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/gx462jWPZDzXcbqQ#fight=7&type=resources&source=13" target="_blank 2 quick things: -Mana was at ~75% for a minute after your burn.

Dead video, can't get it to work, says 'removed'. I made an opener video (there's also one for fire) earlier, 18.54m in 41 seconds: https://www.twitch.tv/searix/v/68381770" target="_blank Using AM/AB after AP is gone is a judgement call. It's based on how many ticks of evo you want to get (2 in my v...

So from the sounds of it for highest dps spec it's Fire spec with mythic dungeon trinket, Shadowmoon insignia, rune of power pop everything fire combo?

on first wipe: -You ring at 13.451 seconds, then -Wait over a full second to drop crystal at 14.514, then -Cast arcane power without it being macroed, at 14.684 (should be ap/racial/arcane blast macro), then -finally START casting arcane blast at 15.689 which lands at 16.849 That's 3.398 seconds of ...

What macro are you using?

I think there is some mixing up here of practical strategy and theory. Some guilds generally ring on 0 anyway for reasons regarding the strategy of the encounter and they can not follow what the mage wants in theory. When theorycrafters talk about the best they talk about the theoretical best, not ...

What do you mean not particularly lucky? There is no way to do that kind of opener -without- getting very lucky when you don't start with missiles or charges, as evidenced by the overwhelming majority of openers where you do not spend some time of your Prismatic Crystal before the boss is pulled wh...

I've made a bunch of posts about this in the prismatic crystal thread on general and in the new way to use arcane power arcane thread. This might work as a containment thread, but super TLDR what he means is dropping crystal at -3 hitting it with everything at -1 has a 100% chance to proc PoF IF IT ...

I did not use it in this VOD but have used it a lot pre t3 nerf (and didn't want to invalidate parse) Proc should be 100% if you wait 224 seconds if you do that prepull crystal thing, but it's not linear and like 80-90% if you only wait a minute Good to know, I'll def make some use of it. Sadly, in...

@Searix: do you have a macro written for that? At what point do you evocate and when do you use ap+prepot? T17 gearset Evocate at -7 -1.5 seconds, macro: crystal, gearset t12 (will have to press it twice) Spam press macro: pot, AP, zero, ab macro I have a version of it in this VOD: https://www.twit...

You can still use 2pc t17 evo, then firehawk set and get a good opener, better then if you didn't do it. And there's really no reason to burn all that low as long as you use AMs often, 70% should be fine and it'll give you plenty of time to regen during the conserve phase, you do shitty damage duri...

[..]ask the raid to wait 2 minutes if i'm respeccing fire I don't get why you play fire there if you are wiping. If you want consistency play arcane. I was very surprised that archimonde is the only boss in the entire instance that arcane mages are still on top of warcraftlogs on very long fights a...

I don't think your numbers add up when computing Doom Nova damage. Looking at the current top log on Archimonde, which had 5 Arcane Missile procs within the first 18 seconds (extremely high), the total Doom Nova damage done to Archimonde, Doomfire Spirit and Prismatic Crystal doesn't even reach 4 m...

Again though the preferred strat is to avoid this altogether by dropping the crystal at -3 outside of boss range, hitting it at -1 so it's a guaranteed proc, and having tank pull it to crystal Napkin math says that you need to idle for ~226 seconds before you can reach a 100% proc chance on first a...

Have you tried the drop crystal at -3 strat i mentioned in the PoF thread? Will always proc PoF on crystal, just requires main tank to slightly move the boss
