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

You play totally different talents/traits in Raid and Myth+ you have to be more specific.

And for Traits/Trinkets etc. you can get an idea on what to take on https://bloodmallet.com/index.html#mage_arcane and https://www.herodamage.com/mage/azerite ... t22-arcane

Opening/Full Burns: CU/PoM/AP/trink - mash the shit out of AB until all mana is gone->AM->ABarr->Evo. Then, Mini-burn: CU->AB to 30% mana->AM (if proc'd)->ABarr. Then Conserve (at 20-30% mana): ABx4->AM (if proc'd)->ABarr. no Abarr before Evo because u wanna start with 4 Stacks AB at full mana. and ...

definetly MoA>RoP>3xAM

i think it wont change much.
The only question is if we build up the stacks for AP phase only or do we use MoA on CD.

Using MoA with high stacks in AP would be cool but i think the dmg buff and the new mana gain will make us use MoA on CD.

The important thing with MoA is the Explosion at the end.
You safe ~2 Secs in RoP for an extra AB or AM if you cast MoA first. And thats a DpS gain over 1-2 ticks of the Mark

:mrgreen: Nether tempest is for AoE isn't it? Wouldn't I want it for Skorp, Botanist, and Tich? And for Botanist, there are eventually 3 mobs to deal with, should I be switching to Arcane Explosion? If so, how do I even manage mana during such a long duration? :mrgreen: No you never play nether temp...

Few things after few seconds of reading.. if you want to improve then listen to what people have to say and do play like think is good ;D YOu can do that but then you will be stuck in the lower middle bracket. Thats the opener: 1. Charged up 2. Presence of Mind 3. Mark of Aluneth 4. Rune of Power 5....

Sry for your bad luck cause your 4 legis suck :( https://www.altered-time.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2618" target="_blank here is a list of legi combinations and ist dps Output. Better is that you sim the combinations yourself because only you know which items you have in the bag as replacements ...

It is quiet simple. It depends on the Encounter. You get like 5 Wrist Procs every 3 Mins. That is round about 50-60% Mana(depends on Mastery and if it Procs during AP). So you get like 90% Mana from your extra Evocation(if you manage to get it off) -> depends on Encounter. Another Thing to consider ...

Never will Mastery be better than Crit/Vers. The thing is with 7.1.5 casting a few barrages in conserve Phase doesnt hurt that much anymore. The most important thing is that you get the max dmg output in your AP/RoP Phase. Thats why Crit/Vers and Haste scale much better. If you have Legi Head good t...

In dungeons we are casting like 80% Explosions. So in 20 high keys with vulcanic i almost ate none while dancing around it in my Rune of Power.

Yep i checked on PTR and dmg is even slightly higher than on live.

Use AM during AP mate = huge dps increase
Never use PoM out of AP

Trilliax u cast ONE !!! cast during your second AP = learn the mechanics

no idea but it did. You used the new sims?

BTW its 8% not 5% buff

Simmed Patchwork 612k live. With the changes i sim 676k.

Over 10% increase, i like that.

Mastery still worst stat(but i have Kilt).

I am only speaking out of experience and i believe AM during AP is a dps+. Amplification+RoP is just too big during AP. We are talking about 2-3 AMs during AP most of the time and the idk 10-15% Mana reg u loosing because of that wont make up for it. What i experienced through PTR and in the first I...

Chrono and Plague in 7.1.5

With your opener you wont get the MoA Explo into AP most of the time. I would cast it a Little later you only use 1 GCD witout any Penalty. Since we are the new Fire Mages with Overpowered, most of our dmg comes with our AP Phase and thats why RoP will result in higher Dps than IF. At least with RoP...

Yes Fire is still on top of most Encounters but we are not far away, most Top Mages stay fire in Nighthold for a reason. But remember that there are 10x more fire mages than Frost or Arcane therefor much more good players with much more BiS legendaries. Give me 2 Set Boni and i think we ll outshine ...

Nice sum up Kythos.
I play Arcane for several month in 90+ Mythic Ranks and play the same like u summed it up.

Some few questions remain but overall thats the way to play.
