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

Thanks, yeah that is what I have been doing. Took my first step in Uldir last night, with all the movement necessary, not easy to watch so many factors all at once! Given the huge cast time of GS, if I have say 30 secs left on the EB CD, I figure it's better to get off the GS unshattered when I can ...

First, is Glacial Spike off the GCD (or is the GCD eaten up during it's long cast time)? Trying to understand the BF-GS/Flurry combo... does Flurry cause a freeze for the GS hit so can shatter? Given the long cast time of GS, should the flurry precede it or not? I am finding fairly long stretches wa...

Indeed, the dps difference really is pretty minor and I am most likely way overthinking this. BUT I do try to gear myself as good as possible even though I can not perform near as well as the best mages in the game (far from it!). I do need to be hitting the threshold for heroics...

It gets weirder! I knida missed it, but part of those "new stats" had to do with the function telling me to replace a 940 relic with a 915! THAT is why I lost SP & STAM. The 940 rank 3 is +30% all damage from Flurry vs. the 915s +16% ice lance crit damage (and how does that work when I am back to 28...

First, I know the simc engine underlies AskMrRobot, but I still run sims there and on raidbots, and comparatively, they ALWAYS seem to agree (had to say that because whenever I mention AMR, I get a few "they are crap" responses). Anyway, got a new ring last night, 10 ilvls higher than what I was wea...
