I don't get why there is such a difference between the number 1 trinket and guilded loa. Proc rate ?

From what I understood : I have 2 icicles bf proc I cast fb and dump bf proc ( That mean 4 icicles at the end ) I have 3 icicles and bf proc I cast fb and I keep bf proc to shatter gs. On bosses in mythic I sometimes dump bf at 3 icicles stack if I have EB up otherwise i finish some bosses without u...

Is it possible to have a clear answer about keeping BF stack because for a math guy saying you dump bf stack when (0 => 3 icicles ) and keep it (3 => 5 icicles) it's pretty akward . I tough we agreed on under 4 dump , them over keep them to shatter GS.

Well if you are on a 2 target fight E.g council, velhari, Fof with archimond trinket will have higher dps than BF so i feel that if you have to munch one of them on a 2 targets fights you would have to munch BF (in case of too many proc) because with archimond and glyph of splitting ice Fof pull ahe...

Well actually mage arcane is subject to RNG even more than fire (5.1 vs 4.7) mage we have more dps variance than fire mage so.... The diffence between the lowest dps and the highest for the same stuff is about 28k + ( 90 k max , 62 k min source: http://www.simulationcraft.org/reports/Raid_T18H.html"...

How much of a dps loss is:

Popping crystal before pull -> AP+Prepot+Troll racial -> AB+(PoM+AB) -> spamming AM if there's proccs

Fairly significant. You really don't want to be casting low AC stack spells into PC.

With POF you cast PC when you hit 2 stack to force the proc on the crystal so...

well just to be sure of it : here are my current stats with 0 stack flask and Intel buff : my ab hit for 22422 in 1.38 sec of casting (16247 dmg per sec) (under AP) My AM hit for 4096*5 (20480) in 1.78 sec of casting (11505 dmg per sec) (Under AP) The gap should be even further due to 5% reducted ca...

Still have the weird sensation that using AM during AP+crystal is a big dps lost with archimond trinket (+29 % haste on it +29% dmg sometimes i cast AB in 0.8 sec and it hit over 150 k so missile can't make the same without GCD capping). My pull are fairly more signifcant without AM that with am and...

Instead of pyroblast camping, you just use inferno blast whenever you get a heating up, and always use pyroblasts when your inferno blasts are within 2 seconds off coming off cooldown. If your pyroblast crits, you can immediately inferno blast to turn it into a new pyroblast, while spreading all yo...

yep sometimes i tend to keep those supernovas to crush the cristal with doing 2 sn right when it pops, coz i read that it was a real up for the dps but i saw some mage going on with only 1 Sn by cristal

Thanks for your answer. What do you mean by clipping ? Waiting till i have 4 stacks of ab to use arc missile so i loose some procs? or casting too soon ending prematurely my arcane missile? I blinked a lot because i m in the soak group (immunity group) and i play with evanescence so i try to end my ...

Hi mates, Sorry bothering you for this, but i recently switched from hero to mythic and from recount to skada and i lost some dps, even between 2 fights ( i thought arcane was not rng based but seems that yh a lil bit). So I started reading the logs to have some explanations and here is the two poss...
