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

1 major thing you are doing wrong is using PoM at the start of AP rune instead of at the end of AP rune. You are wasting an entire GCD at 40% increased dmg which is big. Besides that it comes down to rng and making sure you don't munch missiles procs Edit: one of your trinkets is really bad for ST (...

If you run kindling you do NOT use FO outside of combustion

Not to mention you took CiS and barely casted it. Whats the point of taking it if you don't cast it? Complete dps loss, just take kindling instead if you are going to cast CiS only 10 times in a 4 minute fight. Also seems like you sat on 2 charges of RoP for a while...Don't ever cap on 2 charges! Hu...

Poor usage of RoP is the main reason. On ursoc is must be lower because you are messing up your rotation while doing the fight or not casting for long periods of time during movement. Unless you have lust, don't double RoP at the start. You basically Rop when you have a HU/HS proc along with ~>1.5 F...

8 pyros in a combustion?!?!

No way, that's not possible.

What....did you expect for dps? Sims for patchwerk should ~275k with pots and those pots are mad strong. I didn't dissect the logs but thinks seemed fine from first glance. I am not sure what you are expecting for dps though. Only thing is you should open with a PF instead of FB so you can start the...

CiS is a ST gain if played perfectly and all 6 embers hitting. Therefore, it isn't at all practical and the dps gain in ST is minimal even with perfect CiS usage iirc. I actually considering going kindling for most of the fights (maybe no cenarus and xav). Unless you can reliably hit CiS then I don'...

At the end of the day, at this current gear level before EN raid, our mastery, haste and versa levels are all negligible in terms of what is better than what. Some variations maybe be 1k DPS higher than another, but its nothing noticeable really. At the end of the day, crit is king. Just go for crit...

This is covered in the stickied guide by Frosted I believe. You definitely take pyro.

Refer to the icy veins artifact progression guide. Your current choices are quite suboptimal and therefore are losing tons of dps.

conflag is insanely strong on aoe, sometimes is even my top damage! Definitely use that even for single target :) As for FS, unless you have the double pillar golden trait, I believe the number is 7-8+ Otherwise just pop em pyros I also personally use kindling so I can pop combustion on every second...

I see nothing wrong with those numbers for DPS.

190-200k sustain sounds about right. You should try running conflag btw as with high levels of crit you get munching and conflag so much better on any aoe and already on par for single target.

Thanks,

Sorry about not looking hard enough

Hi all, With my current level of crit (53%), I am observing that if I use flame on when it comes off cooldown, it isn't off cooldown by the time combustion comes off CD due to kindling. Is anyone else encountering this problem? If so, what is more ideal, skipping the use of flame on and lining up wi...

Where do you get this notion that I said go full mastery? I simply told him that swapping out haste sockets for mastery would be worth it... Also I agree it isnt the reason for such unstable dps. It was just one of my many observations also according to my simulation there was a massive difference. ...

Except that waiting also guarentees that you get a doom lined up with your opener. What do the other folks here thing about this? It would be interesting to see what others thoughts are on this As for the mastery comment. By simple simulations you can see that mastery is a better stat (ALOT better f...

I mean I gave him/her the sims for a longer fight at 5 minutes and showed that even then haste isn't better than mastery but rather even. Regemming to mastery will mean he gets around 200 more mastery and 200 less haste give or take. According to his gear that should be a dps increase in all fights,...

If you just use a single missile or two, you won't oom for the duration of the burn

Use AM whenever doom proc regardless Use AM on crystal early on even if no doom proc (1 or 2) in order to hopefully get temporal hero if you get lucky enough to get early AM proc. Otherwise just burn with AB until AP runs out Haste all depends on your gear. Only real answer is "you have to sim and s...

OK so I didn't have time to look into it a lot but a few things: Don't use mark of warsong, with lust and AP haste is completely and utterly worthless (your fights are super short so in fact haste is the worst stat for you). Use bleeding hollow. At high enough haste levels mastery is better than has...
