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

Hey all! So I know at first fire was better than frost but now with Rank3 of our Raid Essence CLP with Lucid Dreams minor - isnt Frost still competitive with fire for Eternal Palace? With Frost and the NOIL style I am rated on wowprogress at about 43k DPS. Resimming with Fire I cant even get close t...

Awesome - thanks for the quick info!

Worked in town on target dummies but not in BoD raid....

I agree not much posted on here these days - even the old talent rankings etc are not updated... I do think a lot of the major mage posters dont play much anymore..

I've been simming myself with lonely winter and without EB and GS and for me - Lonely Winter with no EB no GS is top DPS. When did this happen??? All of the guides always said no lonely winter EB and GS. Must need a new guide the locks are destroying me in DPS.

Its not like we were top DPS in any way - actually atm single target frost is lowest mage spec already - now gutting our utility ;( and losing some DPS

Yep - this is the same as my post last month - same thing. VERY annoying.

After trying frost and never really doing well with it even following this guide to a T - I think I have found the problem and it may help alot of other frost mages. Having mained a mage for many years I am used to ABC (always be casting) and queuing up spells, and keybinding my spells I use all the...

I agree this is a worthwhile discussion. While meters are not all that matters I guarantee a lot of people look at them and judge your performance. Most players are not going to say oh its easy to rack up DPS as a frost DK and hard as a mage they are just going to see your lower numbers and think yo...

Yep thanks for the quick response and it looks like Komma's stuff is updated also - thanks Frosted and Komma for all your excellent work!!!

I saw the updated simulationcraft runs with the new haste values Komma ran http://downloads.simulationcraft.org/Komma/Frost_665_20150113_NoSetBonus.html" target="_blank and it looks like on his sims now Comet Storm is better than TV at least paired with IN and MI? I thought I had read Comet Storm wa...

Ya Frosted is right the damage from the mark of the shattered hand enchant is being reduced by lowering the RPPM chance per

Shattered Hand changed from 3.5 to 2.5 RPPM

Awesome work Frosted you rock! The racial image on the front page shows fire race information - can we get a rerun of your sims for race updated for todays WOW? I'm assuming Draenei is still best frost DPS race? Plus self heal! I think I read on another forum its best for fire too so 2 in 1!

FYI per patch notes the food buff you get no longer takes the mastery buff into consideration

FYI per patch notes they are reducing the damage on shattered hand ;(

Just a quick tip - after you eat the savage feast check what buff you got. I had assumed when it said +100 best secondary stat as a frost mage it would buff multistrike - it did not - I got +100 mastery. Turns out it buffs +100 of whatever your highest secondary stat is at the time - so if you have ...

Now that WoD is finally out it looks like frost is the way to go for now hands down - fire is gutted. Have sims been regenerated for what race is best for frost? The ones from a month ago (GREAT job frosted) it seemed Dranei was highest dps but only by a very small margin over gnome. For Alliance it...
