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

your simdps is 666k (nice number!) https://www.askmrrobot.com/wow/simulator/report/a0f7b7e6d3884c79b70eb4ac9975d9da so 590k realworld-dps is not too bad actually in contrast to the ilvl of your fellow guildmates (and the fact that they have two, probably bis legos) your dps is pretty decent xD awnsw...

not gonna lie, normal is no benchmark to gauge any dps performance. i did a 1-shot run today (we stacked dogs, dem dps :D), obviously shard will outperform anything else when fights don't take longer than roughly 4m. firestarter really shines when we don't pull with lust (longer >90% health) and bos...

i found another reason for fire not to use the TW ring anymore, as soon as you hit 30% haste with that build (and thats totally doable for me already) your mana won't last a 6min fight again. the 3rd tw will drain you, great, just grait.

really depents and imho the advice is not correct. if you're playing LB you go for mastery > crit=vers=haste for trash if you're playing FP you go for haste >> crit =mastery=vers for trash on bossfights it again depends on your spec but in general kindling gives you more combusts for trash and also ...

actually the best sims are with shard for me, even shoulders outranking gloves .. (until new t-set!!!)

there used to be problems with firemages running oom when using high haste >=30% and shard on fights >5m, experienced it only one time myself tho. mana usage during combustion is high (pyro is expensive), bracer counter that to some extend bc hc-pyro gives time to reg mana. if you run gloves and rin...

ok here is something interesting - comparing 2nd tier and 3rd tier dps differences:



apparently, the 2nd trait does make less of a difference than what 2nd tier you get.. kind of counterintuitive for me tbh

with the 2m owl gone and the new 1m cd trinket + 4pi certainly could see kindling/preignited (even with gloves instead of belt) becoming a thing. even now when i use kindling pre-ignited becomes the best trait for me (running pre-ingited, pyro, ignite atm) with the belt, even more so with gloves or ...

i did some +15 upwards testing lately regarding Soul/Bracer vs. Belt/Bracer and found the difference negligible tbh, the dps from the ring is arguably more useful tho. (I'm playing GS most of the time)

Generaly gs likes around 50% mastery, critcap and then depending on gear either vers or haste in some fashion. As usually Just fucking sim yourself, raidbots makes this easier then ever

Thanks alot for this. For me, my (semi bad) 2pc + 4pc still sims better than my legendary helm + offpiece. I don't know if this is the best place to ask, but is titanforged 2pc from tier 19 gonna be the best all tier? (I have 915 helm and 905 cloak). It's possible. Norrinir created the default T20_...

also what is maybe not on the radar for some people (me included since yesterday night) mark of the trained soldier (+600 mastery) seems to outscale hidden satyr!

here's something funny about the new legy ring - it sims (when taking CB) exactly as high as koralon's... hm (for me). thats without any t20 bonus or owl trinket just plain old t19 stuff (albeit mastery heavy with rune+bracer) at 900k ST dps. tried it yesterday in m+ for a while, CB plays somewhat w...

Another Release Candidate build.
Zero Fire tune-ups.

I feel like I've been here before.

amen to that, i'm not sure if it's a good thing but i'm not even surprised anymore. it could be funny if the whole story wouldn't be a tale of such sad incompetence

MI prefers haste, RoP prefers mastery - all considered you have bracer/belt, if you're running shard MI comes out on top because of the 2nd TW all things considered i take RoP over MI every time, much more fun and higher potential for good spreads (nothing better than to spread a 600k ignite over mu...

I was watching a youtuber video and he brought up the idea that maybe this ring would be outside the two lego restriction to make it easier to balance under the assumption everyone has it. Instead of it ending up in the pool of utility/worthless legos no one uses. If it's basically free does that s...

Bracers and Shard are great in NH where you're able to fully utilize the second lust + IV, which admittedly are most fights at this point. However, don't misinterpret the gloves as being the new Norgannon's just because everyone is preaching about the changes to TV and the 2p/4p meta. Sure on paper...

Bracers/ring taking top spot?

they already do. (for double lancing anyway which you should do)

Didn't manage to find a source for that, that was long time ago, back in beta I think. Anyways, I don't see a problem there. Effort vs reward and all. If you pick a talent that reduces the complexity of your spec, you should expect to do slightly less damage (and vice versa). they also said they wo...

Right now I have weak auras on the right vertical of my UI for cast speed, the dutchmagoz double IL, WitD proc (plus and minus), IV, and lust. What I've observed with my current gear is that WitD pushes me over 70% and metronome procs will push me over 80 just on world trash pack pulls, and I can d...
