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

You may argue that i could sim myself etc etc but it is getting costly re enchanting to do sims. ?!?!?!?!? You don't need to reenchant, log out for armory, and then simulate the new enchants lol. Open your simcraft profile (say, it has Haste enchants). Scroll down the simulate page and you'll see s...

AM into doom on boss with pc up is like.... super amazing damage output! NEVER ignore it. It will give so much more damage than continuing to hit the crystal.

Hitting the mark on the boss with AM explodes the mark onto the crystal which in turn hits the boss again.

Tracking them and timing a Supernova with procs is about the best it gets. It's a very marginable/unnoticeable increase

Last time I ran 2target UM TV sims during Hellfire Council progression, while having fairly standard gear, multistrike simmed as my 3rd-4th stat, with Haste first. I re-enchanted full haste and simulated again. Now haste was the lowest stat and multistrike highest by far. Ran a reforge plot, there w...

What do you mean by Armory? my rotation is frost orb, ice lance, (minion), ice nova, firebolt, frostbolt , MI on bosses My talents are blazing speed, altertime, frost jaw, cauterize, ice nova, pragmatic crystal and MI Glyphs i have my minion, blink, spitting ice and ice nova my ilvl is a 680, anyth...

Vague estimates between 10-15k ?

Sims aren't very good to judge accurately at the moment (they overvalue because robomage syncs perfectly I believe); and heroic bosses die in 2minutes for me now (so much RNG to judge!), aaaand the mythic bosses I'm progressing on are hard to judge so I'm unsure.

edit: Not that it matters; without 30% damage amplification, hitting the boss with the explosion is the same as hitting the crystal (due to a bug?) You need to re-read some of the posts here about Gorefiend. It's beneficial to have the explosion hit PC on that fight. I'm aware. I was talking genera...

I do not have the tome yet, so I was indeed asking how without tome/with AP glyph. I've just been burning to 60% mana and evocating during my burns but I'm not sure I'm correct. Yeah that's correct. Personally I always tried to Evocate in the 40-50% range, since this would fit in the most 4AC AB's ...

Dismiss Welly, run into ashran, summon.

Is this every step? The health goes back to normal about 10 seconds after walking out of Ashran.

edit: the reddit post is deleted

Ah, Frosted reminded me that I should clarify. Haste does lose ground against mastery when you stack it to very high levels (ie. past 33%++), but it's definitely not a case of "hey I have an extra attack on my pets, I should stop immediately". 33% raid buffed right? I assume raid buffed but clarifi...

Not an Arcane expert but I see no reason to not Burn when Evocation's cooldown = Unglyphed Arcane Power cooldown and 4 Charge Blast can hit like a truck despite low mana penalties. Don't think he was asking whether it's worth it to burn or not; rather when to stop burning(and use Evocate) when Arca...

Do you still burn all your mana during arcane power like you do with tome/unglyphed or is there a point where you want to evocate early? [edit: assuming you have tome. It sounds like you do, since you say 'like you do with tome/unglyphed', but you don't explicitly say you have it when asking about ...

Does anyone have a WA that shows duration left on the waterjet while it is active?

I did write out a post explaining the 2sec but I also came to the conclusion that it probably wasn't going to better overall after I did some napkin math. I think 4 secs in has the potential not to be clipped by explosion. The explosion happens ~1sec after the buff ends. I think 6 secs in a safer b...

For some reason it doesn't always update unless you mouseover. Eh, works for me in raid fights. Try pressing V (or whatever the default nameplate key is) to make all nameplates visible. Then you won't need to mouseover. I sometimes have to do this when open world questing and not having hit mobs yet.

I checked my log for Gorefiend and I did about 4mil dmg during the ring proc, however the ring itself only did 300k dmg instead of the 1mil it's suppose to do. Do I need to delay my PC and use it in the last 12 seconds of the ring proc so it can bounce of PC aswell? I've not got the ring yet myself...

With incanters flow what do I use at 5 stacks comet storm or ice nova I was thinking ice at 4, comet at 5 It will be a really insignificant gain and probably a loss to be keeping Comet Storm on cooldown for a few seconds to use at a better IF stack. The reason it works with Ice Nova is because it's...

Just use Tidyplates nameplates addon. The Mark of Doom (and any debuff) will appear above the nameplate by default. Pretty sure you can set it to show default blizzard healthbars too

So there are a couple questions I'd like to ask in case I misread things and missed it or just flat out misunderstood. 1. Why is it an issue to start channeling Water Jet when already at 2-3 stacks of FoF? If I am finishing a cast of Frostbolt and it creates a 3rd FoF. I then channel Water Jet as I...

1. Why is it an issue to start channeling Water Jet when already at 2-3 stacks of FoF? If I am finishing a cast of Frostbolt and it creates a 3rd FoF. I then channel Water Jet as I am casting the next Frostbolt, I would gain a Brain Freeze proc and just as Frostbolt finishes I toss out an ice lance...
