So I'm not sure why, but currently when I sim ST as LW/EB/CS/TV I sim for more DPS than any other talent combination. Why would this be? Is this just the sim being wonky but in real practice GS comes out ahead?
Currently sitting at 20% crit and 12% haste at 333ilvl.

I feel like I remember this trick from a while ago, but had completely forgotten about it. Thank you for this!

Hello all, https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/8J4mKMkPvBY6CXWd#view=rankings&fight=1" target="_blank Ever since I returned from a break (last played November(ish)), I've consistently only been hitting around 50% in the rankings.

Re: Glacial Spike T19M Profile and Spec Explanation
Using rune on frost is something i am against as IF is perceived as an option, coming stronger on next patch because RoP is nerfed. Incanter's Flow is only really viable (i.e., not a noticeable dps loss) on regular BC-TV frost. Every other mage spec benefits very highly from cooldown stacking. And ...

Re: [7.1] Frost Talents, Trinkets, Racials, Stats, Legendary
Apart from the intellect, I would expect haste to maintain priority until something like 35-40%. Then Crit will likely take priority until you hit 33% Crit or so due to shatter. 45% or higher haste seems like a very high soft cap to me, and unless you're just perfectly geared I don't know how you'd ...

Re: Frost PvE Rotation/Priority
So I've just obtained http://www.wowhead.com/item=133970/zannesu-journey . How does this change a rotation using BC/RoP/FT/IF/FB/TV? Do we just cast blizzard whenever we get to 5 stacks? There's no change as we cast Blizzard on cooldown even against single target. edit> I was a little quick on my r...

Re: Mage Hidden Artifact Appearances
I'm at AK 5 now, have been for about a day. Still have not received the emote trigger. Always in Frost spec with Ebonchill equipped. I've verified the quest script since AK4 and has always read yes.
I feel like everyone else is getting this trigger extremely quick after AK4

I got the daily roll for then hidden artifact from frost to proc today. I got my artifact knowledge 4 a few hours ago and now it seems that when I check for the quest ID it is noted as completed. I did not check the quest since day 1, did AK 4 finally allow the daily random roll for the frost artif...

Re: Guide to Class Order Advancements
The portals feature seems impressive but it's weak. In most cases it's either faster or more convenient to just whistle and get to another flight master. Not only that but in almost all cases taking a portal will require a whistle anyway, adding up both that time and the running time through the ha...

Re: Mage Hidden Artifact Appearances
I'm not sure what the Highmountain X is located on, it isn't a raid. Also,the NW corner of Suramar doesn't have a dungeon or raid.Someone on wowhead pointed out a map on the left pillar next to the scouting map
Edit: Might be just the location of raids?

Re: The frost spec and me
I've not tested this at all, but has anyone tried looking at how many FoF procs are potentially wasted with the cap back to 3 (2 if you haven't picked up the trait yet?) Granted there are some situations where I'm dying for a proc, and then there are others where I feel like I'm likely having some w...

Re: Mage Hidden Artifact Appearances
For some hidden artifacts, their procs won't trigger until certain conditions are met. For druids, they have to complete the intro Suramar storyline (last I checked), for others the Class Campaign has to be finished. I was unaware of any with the mage one, but unless the entire method has changed, ...

I've crossed every set of steps in the class hall in an attempt for the Frost hidden appearance, and the quest is still remaining as not completed when I run the check script for it in-game.

Re: 6.2.3 - Quick look at new trinkets
So, assuming the boss is demon, and I have only normal ToSW/PoF/UGoS, I should be using the new trinket and ToSW as frost for single target correct? And if it's cleave/aoe fight, I should still be using PoF/ToSW?

Re: Breaktheice's WoD Frost Mage Guide (updated for 6.2)
I guess I'm somewhat confused about stat priority with the Tome & T18-4PC.
When I'm simming myself I get the following stat priority: Int>Multi>Crit>Mastery>Haste.
But from reading I feel like I should be doing Int>Multi>Haste>Mastery/Crit?
