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

Hmm, I've looked into this a bit more. The issue is that essentially you don't know where things are anymore - Blizzard deliberately broke the related APIs. That's also the reason why the DBM range display and other things were affected: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20749494846?page=1 h...

You, Sir, I like you.

I'm not experienced enough to help you with building this (yet), but will keep cheering you on from the sidelines. This is awesome.

Very interesting. My gut feeling would be that it won't work. Since everyone pulls their CDs in the beginning, you spend very little time in those higher percentage ranges. Similarly you might spend a relatively smaller share of the fight time below 30% (let's say on fights like Ursoc). Your DPS inc...

And if you had read my previous post, which takes into account what was said before, you'd be aware that I had a setup in mind where accidental hardcasts where excluded through constant movement. My apologies for not being clear on this. Thanks for the clarification, I'll try out the rotation you pr...

I keep seeing people comparing Scorch and Fireballs when you have Koralon's, and I can't help but notice how the crit aspect is not factoring for people. Assume a 60% crit rate on sheet (HIGH for 7.1.5) Fireball's would effectively be (0.4 * 200) + (0.6 * 400) = 320% SP (averaged out to 320% of SP)...

Don't you waste a scorch this way? I think the problem comes down to your range to target. After sending off the hot streak pyro, you have to wait to complete your gcd until you can start casting again. If you're in medium range, that's enough time for the pyro to hit and for you to notice whether o...

Quick question for someone who is on the PTR: The tooltip of the belt says that scorch will be a guaranteed crit, but that's not the same as getting extra crit%. Can someone find out what happens if you switch on Combustion?

Koralon's Burning Touch - Scorch now also deals 350% extra damage and is a guaranteed Critical Strike below 30% health up from 25%.

It's x 4.5.

60% SP = 100% base damage + 350% extra dmg = 60% SP x 450% = 60%SP x 4.5.

Not true, that should be possible. Think weakaura + range trigger. At longer distances the range calculation becomes more accurate, so while this might be unreliable for the original DB (range thresholds are 10 and 15), for the legendary head it should work. I've buld a range indicator recently to h...

Holy shit, that's sexy. Now Scorch just needs to be turned into a projectile to solve the munching issue. I own the belt and tried it out on the ptr. Ignoring the dmg numbers of scorch, the mechanic is pretty flawed. You can neither cast: Scorch -> Scorch -> Pyro, or Fireblast -> Scorch -> Pyro. If ...

Yes.

My understanding is that the management of your FoF w.r.t the Chain Reaction count is what separates the good frost mages from the great ones.

Do you have a TLDR for those of us who can't watch videos in the office?

You, Sir, I like you.

A quick follow-up on the issue of targets getting frozen while being kited and then killing the melees: a different set of tank/melee dps got rid of the problem :D With regards to the question above: I'm also a bit confused. After re-reading the entire thread I'm still unclear if I should use ice la...

Hey guys, This build is a blast to play, thanks for all the information this thread is providing. I've tried it in high M+ where we pull smaller groups with cc and so far the results have been quite positive, especially in HoV, MoS and NL. The RNG element does not seem to be an issue over the course...
