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

I did a dungeon a few hours ago and there it was fixed. The orb stuck around my targets like it used to, instead of whisking away to a far away land like earlier today

Curious, are there any good action bars that doesn't cough all over the place when you have heroism + icy veins and cast instant icelances? ElvUI action bars at least makes it really hard to use as it gets confused about GCD lengths or something (a similar issue arises during multiple fireblasts in ...

Due to the travel time bug talked about a few posts up. Doesn't affect arcane as much as it has very few projectile spells. Hah I dropped like 50k dps from one release to the next, had a feeling something bugged out. On the plus side, I hit my simmed figure for the first time ever :lol: :lol: :lol:...

In the default APL I'm a little confused at the variable burn_phase_duration: actions+=/stop_burn_phase,if=prev_gcd.1.evocation&burn_phase_duration>gcd.max ... actions.init_burn+=/start_burn_phase,if=((cooldown.evocation.remains-(2*burn_phase_duration))%2<burn_phase_duration)|cooldown.arcane_power.r...

I know you updated ALL sims just 2 days ago, but I want to ask if they're still holding true? They seemed to at the time, but yesterdays/todays nightlies seem to draw a different picture. I assume your ST parses are based on Mage_Frost_T19M_NH ect and did a run with the top pick of talents on those ...

Also, note that the default weights are just that, default. I had the same weights in AMR but downloaded their sim and simmed my weights on AMR and it concluded the same stat order as SimC for my gear "Crit>Int>Vers >Mastery>Haste".

You're remembering wrong, this has never been possible for ground targeted abilities (and still isn't) within the scope of the in-game tools (you could do it using keyboard macros/autohotkey or things of that nature but it would be against the ToS technically). It is possible now in 7.1 :), as per ...

Are the various simc scripts you've created available somewhere? I'm curious how best to compare trinkets, if its through the copy command or the automation tab in simc gui. Also, how on earth do I quickly get a hold of say wriggling sinew ilvl 870 with socket? I have no clue how to construct said i...

Say I have 5 trinkets in my inventory, what would be the easiest way to compare these AND compare with a few that drops from raids? My current way is to use SimulationCraft addon, equip the trinkets one at the time and type /simc to find the id bonusid and such. Then I add them to Automation like th...

Are there a simmed list of trinkets at same ilvl somewhere? I can't seem to find one that contains EN raids AND the best ones from mythic+ dungeons (at similar ilvl). The fire theorycrafting thread only contains dungeon and wq trinkets.

As I understand it, without aftershock Flamestrike is on 8+ enemies (3+ with flame patch talent). How does this change when you get the 3rd golden artifact trait, Aftershocks (Flamestrike calls down 1 additional pillar of fire each time it is cast.) ?

That's true but coming from a hunter used to be at the top I just mentally don't feel like I'm pulling my weight

Other than that, I find AOE with fire to be a bit hard to burst with (at least at lower crit levels, not sure if this improves) especially lacking the class trinket.

I find it really hard getting good DPS on trash and dungeons where my raid outgear it, ramping up for the first hot stream by fireball into fireblast can take a while because I'm only at ~30% crit. Often several mobs are dead by the time I can land my first Flamestrike. How do you play fire efficien...

I tend to click somehow so when I'm placing my Flamestrike I ALSO change my target to one of my party members or something like that. I guess it must be because I click multiple times, but even when I don't it sometimes feel like it happens. Are there some addon/macro/tip to improve on staying on ta...
