Try running DPS scale plots

Thats what I did - I ran reforging plot first, then, after i was surprised by the fact that extra ~300 haste (and minus 300 MS) decreased DPS by approx 1k, i ran DPS scale plot, and curves for both stats were roughly the same

I'm not so sure about that. After I obtained a ToSW (rolled at least 20 coins on the damned overgrown goat) last week i started to get really weird results in simc (i compile it from the master, maybe thats why) - with my current gear it showed that haste was edging MS in stat weights, by a non-erro...

1. For some reason the CM set is called 'of the triad' and colored in all three spec colors (blue, purple and orange), isnt it an indication of mage's mastery over the elements? In any case, there was no gameplay reason to remove NT for people that liked it (like me or Akraen for example) 2. As far ...

Not really new, but: a) Make all bombs accessible by all 3 specs, it'd give much more versatility and make mages 'masters of the elements' again b) Tied to a) - snapshotting should also be back, it was way more fun like that c) Critical Mass should be finally removed and its effect spread along seve...

That BF proc nerf gotta be compensated, we are slipping into 4.3 again... And it's interesting for me, what is the point of fire proc of the class trinket anyways, does fire need even more aoe?

Recently went back to fire, a question: While compression doesn't work anymore, is 2pc 'bug' still in the game or is it fixed? Do we still get double ignite from double IF'ing on a target and combusting on another one or does it not work anymore? I heard different opinions on that from fellow mages ...

I totally didn't blink into a tiger pit today.

Well, i think i actually blinked into the pit while i was chased by a tiger, then blinked out and survived somehow . Also, our raid's progression on m ogron is a total fail (some healers casually take 1M+ damage from the flames or bleed debuffs)

For me, it work OK. It would be ok if it was the same spell that was casted - in this case, Water Jet. But pet starts to cast the normal waterbolt and doesn't stop doing that unless you re-click the stance buttons (maybe it's possible to macro it somehow to make it work properly, don't know), so i ...

Have you checked 615 trinkets? It seems they weren't nerfed at all, at least those that you can get from the followers missions.

Another pet bug: Imagine you are on a boar-hunting trip somewhere in the Arak spires (lovely grim-dark place btw), you do your stuff, placing traps and slowly chipping boars hp away... Pet is on passive, because it'll kill the poor porcine before it gets safely trucked away to the garrison otherwise...

Copeland's CLarity is BiS till Foundry for frost. Yes, but i was asking about the second trinket (already got CC for merely 75k on my low-pop server 8-) ). Now i'm planning to get MS proc trinket from Everbloom, but maybe Haste proc trinket can be better than that for bursting on crystal (since it'...

What kind of gear and ilvl were these sims made with? Also, if it's possible, can you please rank the pre-raid trinkets, I have my doubts what to use and whether i should get DMC card in pair to the Copeland's clarity ( wowhead says it's 220 crit, while Bnet gives us 220 int. Also, in the comment se...

For some reason SimC gives me 2k more dps with ice nova (which i has been playing just because it's easier to use in dungs) than with Frost Bomb. Does it support it properly?

Pet behaves weirdly while channeling Water Jet sometimes - it looks like as though there's only one codepath that assumes you use pet glyph by default, so pet moves with you sometimes (didn't figure out when and how).

http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=-5.75&soc=-5.49 Not sure if this test really works for people not living in America, as all europeans and even we, russians, will probably be too 'socialist' and liberal for the ole good US of A. You are a: Communist Authoritarian Non-Inter...

Wasn't it like this even in 5.4, the only difference, as far as i can remember, is that the cut-off for mastery was much higher (100% or 120%) than this. Should definitely try it in the raid

I don't really think it matters, as raid is too easy now to determine anything, including utility and kit of each spec (that's why i basically played frost all the time, especially on garrosh). Buff, in my opinion, may result in one positive thing - more people will play frost and less would ditch i...

It doesnt work anymore (first time i got doubts), i tested it today in "mythic", IV buff disappears the instant i change the gear set.
