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

I know that everyone's sims aren't going to be the same obviously, but the wording in this guide and people's comments on Discord would suggest that either combination ( kilt+mantle or kilt+shard ) should be clear winners of kilt+soul of the archmage. But in my sims it showing that kilt+shard is bes...

What item level are these trinkets being simmed at for the comparisons? Also, what about the sections for trinket combination? Those sections should be updated soon I hope.

That'd be fine if, as it was pointed out, the current sims are using 840 item level stuff which is already outdated for most of us by now. Any sort of consensus on how to approach things in almost any respect is virtually non-existent from those who have typically been running the information highwa...

2 quick things to make sure I am understanding it correctly. 1. While using Kindling we are basically delaying what would be the 2nd use of RoP between Combustion cooldown in order to have it line up to where ever Kindling got it down to? 2. Incanter's Flow is really a 15k+ dps loss over RoP? Sucks ...

What do you mean exactly by " Generic Gear " ? Do you mean with Hellfire raid tier/trinkets or do you mean with non-raid tier/trinkets?

Just to offer another point of view on the topic in general, I would agree somewhat with the OP's point of there not really being any consolidated information for the average Joe to at least get first impressions from in preparation for the pre-patch and the expansion's start itself. Now, I -only- s...

When it comes to add phases I use it when I can and just fire off ice lances as per usual. My only concern was figuring out what to prioritize in a couple situations. Primarily the situation where I have gone through this sequence and end up at a crossroads of which to do. I hit Water Jet and do tha...

I have ran into some situations where I have had 2+ FoF procs as my Water Jet is about to come off cooldown and I still haven't fired off Frozen Orb yet. This has happened either by a few FoF procs from Frostbolt or those rare times when I have 2 stacks of Brain Freeze multiple times. I am still uns...

Frosted, forgive me if it's been talked about somewhere and I haven't seen it. But, would you be kind enough to explain how the simcraft profile you have posted in the OP prioritizes certain things? Examples 1. When going from the 3rd stack of FoF to a potential 4th stack, while holding 2 charges of...

1. Why is it an issue to start channeling Water Jet when already at 2-3 stacks of FoF? If I am finishing a cast of Frostbolt and it creates a 3rd FoF. I then channel Water Jet as I am casting the next Frostbolt, I would gain a Brain Freeze proc and just as Frostbolt finishes I toss out an ice lance...

So there are a couple questions I'd like to ask in case I misread things and missed it or just flat out misunderstood. 1. Why is it an issue to start channeling Water Jet when already at 2-3 stacks of FoF? If I am finishing a cast of Frostbolt and it creates a 3rd FoF. I then channel Water Jet as I ...

Could I trouble someone to confirm or deny my question real quick regarding the state of things straight out of the box so to speak? What I mean by that is, the day of patch 6.2 should I be worried about the new stat priorities or are they centered around having the new set bonuses/trinket combinati...
