warning: arcane momentum shimmer interrupts spell casting and does not heal you with cauterizing

Cauterizing procs fine for me, but it definitely does interrupt casts.

In latest PTR notes molten armor only increases crit by 10% instead of 15%. Approximately how big an effect would this be? I believe this is just a tool tip change, and MMO has it backwards. Current Molten armor is giving 20% crit, but the tooltip only says 15%. On the PTR you still get 20%, and th...

One of the most prevalent suggestions on these forums is to sim yourself to get stat weights, see how you should be doing etc. What boss settings do you use in order to get the most accurate results? There is still a LOT of simc that I havent fully learned, or found good tutorials on, and this is pr...

You don't have to worry about that until you're crit-capped, so you keep on stacking crit. Mastery is currently our weakest stat. You can read this thread https://www.altered-time.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2611" target="_blank for more information on stat weights. I assume he is asking about ma...

What's your ping like? Even though there's that window to help with this sort of thing, if your ping is a bit high, it might fall outside of the window.

Outside of the DDOS issues when they were going on, my ping is a pretty steady 25-30ms.

I'm having an issue with hot streaks being munched, but I cant tell what exactly is munching it. I want to say its when Conflag fires off....can it crit? I thought there was a 200ms protection added to keep it from happening with 2 spells hitting at the same time, but something is definitely starti...

I am trying to skin weak auras using Masque, which I have done without issue in the past. Currently, as long as Masque is enabled all Weak Aura's are too dark. I have even tried disabling Masque for Weak Auras entirely, but it does not remove the darkness. The only fix I have found is to disable the...

I am not near as competent at math as most of the posters here seem to be, but it seems to me this whole thing falls under Gambler's fallacy , does it not? If you figure the proc chance is binary, like a coin flip, then isn't the probability of getting a proc after X number of casts the exact same a...

Can you explain how to link them to the resource bar? I like these concepts, but some of the auras do not link to my bar when I import them.

Does anyone else have any trouble actually importing the ignite code from above? It just locks my client and crashes wow any time I try to. Not an issue I have ever ran into.

This may not be the correct place, but I didnt see a general simulationcraft thread. The latest release keeps opening with a red border as if it is out of date, telling me to update to the newest version, which I have. It also pops open a browser window on load that points to https://bs.serving-sys....

You have the log set to private, so no one can see it but yourself.

The way those are done is with the "automation" tab under import. The Simcraft online documentation has good explanations for it iirc Doesn't that tool use the default class profiles though? I was looking more for a way to use my own character for the calculations. Say I have 4 trinkets, and I want...

One of the things I seem to have a lot of trouble with, when it comes to arcane, is the burn phase itself. I feel like it always takes longer than it should to get to 50% mana, even if I stop using missile procs around 70% mana, so that my crystal is always ready way before my evo is. It's been a fa...

Is there a guide anywhere for coming up with the charts similar to what we see here in the forum, with trinket comparisons, talent comparisons, etc? I've been trying to learn a bit more about simcraft, and would love to be able to generate charts like those for my own character, to more easily compa...

I somehow missed this option. No matter how long I use WA, it seems like I still find out about something I dont know. Would you have a string you're willing to share? Trying to set it up now, but it doesnt appear to be wanting to work on dummies. Edit - I had forgotten about Mage Nuggets too, I use...

Since this is a discussion about living bomb, is there a better way to track it on secondary targets? Specifically on fights like Thogar or Beastmaster, my nameplates show debuffs but only once I've targeted the mob, which makes it hard to know when to spread a new bomb. Optionally, I could just wat...

I'm curious as to the advice for a 2nd spec set up for bosses, as none of my group have been able to change talents or glyphs within a challenge mode. It's something we've all bitched about because we think it goes against the current design for talents and glyphs. Obviously we can run out the front...
