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

Yeah Arcane's on-demand burst and just flat consistent DPS throughout the course of a fight is still wanted. Fire's ST DPS is generally in very large spikes from PC/Combustion and in the time between the CD's it's fairly low.

I just use an Ignite WeakAura.

It just feels really hard to execute for some reason on those kinds of fights. It's a high risk vs high reward situation. I do see myself doing PC on Beastlord here soon because it's getting to the point where the adds die so fast even on Mythic that Kindling doesn't really seem worth it.

Mythic Gruul progression. We chain Aspect of the Fox during the intermission phase and I had an Overhead Smash pointed at me so I started spamming Blink only for it to not do anything because I was still mid-cast on a Fireball. By the time I realized I needed to hit escape to cancel the cast it was ...

I've been preferring Flameglow over IB for Mythic as the overall damage taken difference between the two doesn't seem to really be worth the lost GCD being used to cast IB. Maybe if IB wasn't on the GCD like Temporal Shield was in SoO it'd be a lot more useful.

The Haste thing is to lower the GCD enough to gain a 3rd Pyroblast cast for your 4pc proc which ends up being a DPS increase for most people(seems dependent on your gearing though). Crit & Mastery were the end all be all stats for Fire in the first place and you should try to get as many Crit/Master...

I will when I get off work. I even ran a sim with all crit enchants/gems and it still weighted crit slightly over Mastery. Armory link is in my signature.

My sim is telling me to go all out on crit now for some reason, along with ignoring the haste breakpoint with 4pc.

Got my highest on Mythic Hans and Franz progression last night: 00:00:16.749 Garrod Inferno Blast Hans'gar *22147* 00:00:16.976 Garrod Ignite Hans'gar Tick 26287 00:00:17.004 Garrod Ignite Franzok Tick 24668 00:00:17.817 Garrod Inferno Blast Hans'gar *21357* 00:00:17.979 Garrod Ignite Hans'gar Tick ...

Doublespreading to a very large group of adds like on operator or beastlord.

I'm just going off of personal experience, I've seen better results with LB than BW. Most of the top parses are running LB as well. Also remember that you're not just getting the cleave damage, but DoT damage on two targets, however low it is. Applying and spreading a new LB right before they split ...

Nothing changes with the set bonus on Maidens, Thogar you can double spread LB once the adds are all grouped up.

LB is the way to go on Hans and Franz.

I saw benefits to using unglyphed Combustion on Blast Furnace so that I had a Combustion up for each Elementalist and Operator, but outside of that I haven't seen much reason to use it on anything else.

Cant blizzard fix this already :/

You say to fix it, but Fire abusing an Ignite bug still doesn't bring up Fire to Arcane's level lol.

Tried it last night, could not prevent the debuff from happening even with using G.Invis prior to the impale hitting me. Went back to using Cauterize after a few attempts of not being able to prevent the DoT with G.Invis.

Interesting to see the Alchemy trinket so high, even with Versatility on it now. Raw int proc stronk?

I've been getting pretty terrible results with Meteor so far in BRF. Even before I had my 2pc I was getting better mileage out of PC/Kindling, with 2pc PC became godlike.

I blinked directly into a bomb on Heroic Blackhand last night. #winning

This isn't a Nerf, if anything they are fixing a bug in a spell which allowed you to get 2 movement casts from one charge. The side effect is that you can no longer finish your current spell on the move to prevent abuse. Yeah that's what I figured was being done. First time playing Arcane all expac...

Yeah Cauterize is my usual go-to for that tier for progression/know I'm not going to cheese mechanics with G.I. That said I finally went and got my gear prepared for playing Arcane heavy for Mythic BRF. I could get away with Fire's subpar single target in Mythic Highmaul but just from seeing what th...
