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

As far as i know from ptr testing the manacost reduction does not stack. So having more than 1 of that trait is pretty much useless.
If you have more than 1 it is just a worse version of Galvanizing Spark.

Bonus damage from Galvanizing Spark will be affected by Versatility as well as the Arcane Mage aura, and the tooltip reflects all three. If you applied the present 85% Arcane aura to your 170 point Galv Spark, you would get a result of 144.5. Oh I did not know it was acutally also scaling with vers...

I also had that idea. But i don't think that the aura is the reason because if it was it should still be a fixed amount and not scale with other items you have equipped. The amount of damage that arcane blast was increased by galvanizing spark actually did go down when i unequipped my other gear pie...

Further investigation: After unequipping everything but the above named pieces galvanizing spark only increases the damage by 145 instead of 170 which is a difference of ~ 18%.

The tooltip of a 375 Galvanizing Spark says it increases the damage of arcane blast by 170. But this is incorrect. It actually only increases its damage by 154. A difference of about 9% damage. 375 "Mantle of Containted Corruption" euqipped: http://prntscr.com/llcbjk To compare the damage without th...

Has anyone tried using the Iskar / Mannoroth trinkets? I have a feeling that they could be pretty overpowered but i don't own them, so i can't really try it out myself.

entire expansion arcane was last Not exactly true: arcane has been really strong in the beginning of legion due to quickening beeing overpowered. Sadly it got nerfed really really fast and then removed. After they remade arcane and nerfed kilt and bracers by 25% arcane was in a horrible position be...

Looks like we just got a hotfix: http://prntscr.com/k868hx

Seems to be a nerf to me. Sad, i hope they balance this out by increasing arcane damage by a few %.

So, the tooltip says 15% haste.
I actually gain around 19% haste. So is it bugged or am i miss understanding blizzards wording again?

I like the way arcane plays right now. I think increasing the value that mastery has for arcane by 30%-40% would be a good solution. So having a lot of mastery gear doesnt feel as bad as it does right now. This would also increase our damage output overall and make the spec feel less punishing if yo...

Also there is a bug with the Arcane Charges resetting on Boss pull but the mana cost for Arcane Blast staying the same which is in the game since Legion launch. Example:You have 4 charges pre pull -> Boss pull -> charges reset to 0 -> ab's mana cost is still the same as if you had 4 charges while it...

So i tested this on Archimonde Heroic, using glyphed Ice Block pre pull and canceling it ~2 seconds in fight: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/bJPVgQMXwv9nqkjA#type=auras&spells=debuffs&hostility=1&target=20&ability=184073" target="_blank I can confirm, its actually a mistake made by the combatl...

As a Night elf i get 1% haste because of my passive so do i want to aim for 2010 haste ( which is 2100 - 90 ( 1%) ) or do i still go for 2100 ?
