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

Hi guys, Just thought i would make a post following a few deaths and close calls in Nighthold due to the 60% DR effect of GI not seeming to work. Abilities in particular : Echoes of the Void - Tichondrius, Frost Ejection - Star Augur heres one of many non-fatal non-reduced echoes damage even thought...

Being that some of the items are non-crit or non-crit heavy, for pve the extra crit woukld be better, leveling and pvp better in class all set

Claim 1: When Arcane Power is not active, ToSW is worthless and equivalent to not having a second trinket. Just to add onto this point, During progress on High Add Priority Fights e.g. Gorefiend, Kilrogg, Socrethar etc, when the adds spawn at times when AP is not up, Having a different trinket may ...

As Chiv mentions, this is from Frosteds Arcane Talent Comparisons thread on the Arcane page. http://i.imgur.com/nWMrwRa.png So your answer is Blood elf, although these sims are likely not done with the legendary ring so they may change a little, The differences as you can see are negligible i.e. <1%...

AS Quetesh says, if you are looking at the Arcane talent Sims here: http://altered-time.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1509" target="_blank, These are done with BiS items i.e. 4 set and Mage trinket, the reason that UM beats out SN there is that using SN during AP will mean you are not utilising the ...

Is this with or without the Mage trinket?

Hi Akaash, and welcome. In regards to your above 'spell priority' remember, during a burn phase that you do not use arcane missiles below 70% mana unless capped at 3 missiles. And, ( someone else can correct me if they feel so) When starting the fight, 4 x AB's lay PC and 2 x SN, i.e using SN's on P...

The Addon : We Dont Wipe has an option to show when an enemy has a spellstealable buff.

I guess you could remove all of the Spell Rotation ques from the options and only leave the spellsteal alert on

I presume you are Mastery build Fire for Multi Target? http://i.imgur.com/Y5yT1O8.png The above is for crit single target build (i believe) and is still a dps loss to use on single target let alone a http://www.wowhead.com/spell=12846/mastery-ignite build which living bomb does not benefit from That...

I ran some very quick tier comparisons for people who want to know if they should pick up normal T18 or not. I basically just took the default T17 mythic profile and replaced it with the amount of tier shown here. http://i.imgur.com/d9hE6Dn.png http://i.imgur.com/vO8zR65.png http://i.imgur.com/5wpi...

Fortunately its fresh in my mind as it was the last boss we killed tonight on a wednesday clear tonight. If you are going 3 boat strat, you have time for 2 x arcane power and delay the 3rd arcane power until 3rd boat goes. Burn between each. Just play standard NT/IF/AO playstyle. Why evocation at th...

6.2.1 Special situation when facing more than 3 targets stacked together! Do not go into a mana burn phase. As easy as that. You want more Barrages and you want to be closer to full mana as much as possible for the maximum damage of Nether Tempest. With 2 targets, do a burn phase as described above...

not 100% on this, but i'm pretty sure turret mechanic's leggings and cavedweller's climbers shit on molten torrent and inferno breath for st, even w/ wf or socket. mastery is a really strong st stat for fire, iirc around 2x the weight of versatility, and 1.2x the weight of multi. From the 'Fire Tal...

Just incase some didnt know, you can solo Mogushan Vaults to try get the http://www.wowhead.com/item=87777/reins-of-the-astral-cloud-serpent Mount from Elegon on 10 Man normal as a mage. Tips Bosses and relevant spec and Talents For Most bosses you are going to want to go with Arcane, SN/IF(or RoP)/...

Great Post as always Frosted, I thought it was looking that way, Staying Arcane/Fire on the most part. From looking at the Stats on the Frost Sim, guessing Mastery didnt sneak over Multistrike as BiS stat, it was wishful thinking but having 3 stats with the same stat BiS would be a little odd. At th...

Sounds interesting, Do you have any logs to look through?

Yeah i do, just forgot it. , ive edited, thanks

2. Snapshotting IF is really not a big thing, due to multiple reasons. First one being, even when done perfectly, it's only a minor increase. But more importantly, there's a very high risk that when you try to fit your, for example supernova's, all into high stacks of IF, you may end up casting it ...

Hi Naltalah, Ill try state some things to look at for the different specs and in both specs: Both Specs: - Rune of Power uptime - try to make sure its is 95% plus - Ice Floes - Ensuring that you are taking full advantage of our cast & move spell - Ice Barrier - Maintaining your shield on if using th...

wouldnt Spire of Tectus be better than Portal Rippers Staffprovide More MS when scaled down to CM gear?
