2nd slot wriggling sinew for boss fights , horrorslime for aoe

i would go with urn + oakheart for trash then swap out urn for wriggling sinew 30s before boss pulls.

The rest seems unusable due to low ilvl

seems like u are playing fine, for single target fights just port back to dal n respec unstable magic.

if u wanna go for high rank u need to double pot deadly grace (pre pull n 3rd combustion, lineup with sinew), u are missing a good chunk of dmg there, roughly ~7 mil.

Living Bomb and Dragons Breath both become a gain at 3 targets. For 2 targets you do your normal single target rotation.

thank you very much, one last question, how many mobs required to start using flamestrike over pyro ?

Hi, currently im running flame patch and experimenting on living bomb, have a few questions, would be nice if someone knowledgeable would provide answers. Facing serious troubles when there is only 2-3 mobs with high hp, i dont know what rotation i should do, either the normal rotation single target...

.... Just because the logs show a minor change in overall damage done by the trinkets doesn't mean they're always good for every scenario. Your 'skimming' should've gone a little deeper/farther than looking just at the total damage done by the trinkets. You failed to notice the multiple targets in ...

Hey mate, could you pls add the Karazhan trinkets to your list? Would be great. Greetings The Kara trinkets are on the list, they are just mostly not very good on single target fights. Arans Relaxing Ruby is quite strong for trash in M+ though im not too sure about ur conclusion on aran's ruby thou...

Moved to the apporopriate forum.

hey guys, for manno n archi , with sandmans pouch as the 1st trinket,

what is the 2nd trinket to go with?

orb of voidsight vs desecrated shadowmoon insignia

i have a heroic POF and mythic gaze , POF always gave me better results most of the time *NOTE* this is due to my playstyle , holding right click n moving cameras every second causing me to often face away from boss, wasting gaze procs. My other fellow mage uses gaze tho, but like rinoa said, the di...

hi, have been neglecting challenge modes in WoD , planning to clear it soon, have questions about what spec to use and what trinkets are optimal for CM gold. I have all HFC trinkets. To my knowledge frost has always been the best spec for CM before HFC, is that still the case ? Or is arcane stronger...

Iron Reaver ,

Evanesce is insane here, definitely the to-go talent for this fight, dodges artillery and barrage allowing u to stand still n dps whole fight, then blink around to avoid blitz.

Highly recommended

hi komma, by the looks of the tier 18 bonus for Fire spec n PTR notes, is it safe to assume fire BIS in next patch will include T17 2piece + T18 2piece ?

Planning to coin every shoulder n glove tokens until i get warforged + socket to prepare myself for the next patch.

hi sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.

Only thing i can think of is casting arcane intellect buff pre-pull , does it mess around the RPPM thing ?

thank you for the great guide dutchmagoz can u please elaborate more on 2-4 stacked target cleaving using 2piece T17 ? I am having a difficult time aoe'ing properly with single target rotation but prioritize in spreading the dots, i kept making mistake munching my pyroblast procs, cant seem to get t...

Komma is right,
chinese forum also confirmed that this living bomb "trick" is fixed.

I suppose this thread should be closed.

hi frosted, thank you for the quick reply to help clearing my doubt. I have been reading http://bbs.ngacn.cc/read.php?tid=7375177&_fp=2&_ff=182" target="_blank regarding living bomb explosions. According to the forum the thing is still live on WOD and is being used by the chinese. Not much discussio...

In regard to your third paragraph, don't respread LB with IB until all of them have exploded, otherwise they'll get the duration added on, but they won't explode. hi, is this real ? i just finished reading the fire guide it says otherwise, refreshing it anywhere in between the 0 sec explosion to 3....

Hi guys, i am having big trouble using ice floes optimally , i always mash my buttons n end up using all 3 charges of ice floes when i only needed to use it once, resulting in severe underperformance. anyone has any mashable ice floes -> frostbolt macro that works, ie. wont allow u to go more than 1...
