The chance to proc arcane missiles is doubled for arcane blast (15% up to 30%) are the effects of artefact passive ethereal sensitivity rank 3 (3%) added on top for a total of 33% or is that effect doubled too 36%. same question for words of power talent regarding arcane blast. Devs said during Bet...

Re: Kindling In practice it is unlikely that 10-15 (number from logs) fireball crits after 25% will grant you another Combustion via Kindling before the boss dies, unless your Combustion has been perfectly synced for the fight length. Knowing the fight length is difficult during progression. So I b...

Just got these today, was wondering if you guys have any tips on how to make best use after getting hands on in heroic last reset?

Without deviating too much from the subject, does anyone know the ICD of the DMF trinket?

Basically, it is suggested that the following is a balanced ST/AoE set up:
Crit > Haste(to 1800) > Mastery > Vers/Haste

Arcane doing well

No-one can tell you what you will find fun. In the live version of the game, you can play the specs as they will be in Legion (without the artifact weapon). This does not even require a Legion purchase.

It depends on how you measure the distance and the size of the target. I've coded a simple weak aura that acts as a range finder and can confirm that often ~20 is the distance you seek to the target. The reason is that the distance as measured by the game is to the "border" of the mob. Large target...

What you need is about 20yd range

Why is that?

see this post
tl;dr convergence points with cinderstorm

As Komma clearly states 29-33yds in your link, the question remains - why 20?

Pyro can proc T18 bonus

Chuck on PoF + Class Trinket and tell your tanks to pull the room (Kormrok ).

Rune of Power, 2 x Fireblast, Flamestrike, Flame On, 2 x Fireblast, Flamestrike. Cinderstorm when you get a Mark of Doom proc.

Iceblock when you pull threat.

I am not near as competent at math as most of the posters here seem to be, but it seems to me this whole thing falls under Gambler's fallacy , does it not? If you figure the proc chance is binary, like a coin flip, then isn't the probability of getting a proc after X number of casts the exact same ...

It's confusing, but this current 'post-patch7.0.x' period is generally referred to as 'pre-patch' - short for 'pre-expansion patch'. But yes you are probably right in saying that Fire's current advantage may be a little exaggerated (compared to actual Legion) due to trinket silliness. If you are on ...

Unless there is a major tuning curveball between now and launch, my plan is: * First, upgrade Fire until I have two major traits (Phoenix Reborn & Pyretic Incantation). * Secondly, upgrade Arcane until one major trait (Rule of Threes ?). * Expect a major balance patch during Tier 19 (as we saw durin...

I've found that using RangeDisplay to stay around 30yd from the target is effective.
