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

Depends on your stats, due to chain reaction uptime, but the difference very small in actual parses.

Bracer+ring if able to get double lust or more (with full CDs, second lust for last 15 secs of IV+pot is not what i'm talking about).
Replace ring with gloves if 1 lust+CDs.
Also gotta play around gloves not to munch, otherwise it might not even be a gain over shard.

and that they want LW to be below the other options in that tier.

Do you have a source for this?
Designing a talent to be intentionally worst in a given row goes 100% against their philosophy of "choice vs mandatory".

This change is not as horrible as it might seem at the first glance.

Only assuming they will buff FT and don't fix double IL.
Without double IL and with new IV, other stuff being left as is, dps is going to tank by a metric ton.

Yes.

I'm trying to make the sim use lust at 30% of the boss HP or 100 secs before kill, but I am failing at it.
Using override tab:

bloodlust_time=-100
bloodlust_percent=30

but it doesn't change anything, lust is still on pull. Can anyone help?

Exactly.
Just don't suck and you'll parse 100.

Nuking caster is safer because runes can often spawn very close to or even in the middle of the adds and then it is gg.

I was being serious about ignoring mechanics. That's how I finally got past 1m DPS on mythic trillax - by not eating cakes. Its similar on most bosses.

To push to 100 you have to ignore mechanics more. Half the raid is above you on Krossus add damage, while you should be dead last on them and tunnel the boss 24/7 (unless they are clumped and you have fof). Never soak far behind, blink sideways and say it bugged. Etc. Classic scumbag log padding, no...

Nope.

Is the high IV uptime something I'm hung up on, and not really necessary? I am double ILing. I see Lonely Winter at the top of the talent list for just about everything once you get over the 900ish range. OK my bad about double IL. Anyway, simmed IL uptime for me at 909 ilvl is 38% pre double IL, s...

1. it is more than a couple seconds.
2. it does help a lot to get to 2nd orb, even on pure ST

You don't have gloves.
You don't double IL.
You don't play water jet.
You probably also play splitting ice.

And you are wondering why you don't get super high IV uptimes?

Because we got 5 new points in traits that buff IL.

If you can use simcraft at all, just go to "simulate" tab and at the end of your profile/apl add this copy="40_IL_Flurry_BF_OL1" artifact=53:0:0:0:0:783:1:784:3:785:4:786:4:787:3:788:3:789:4:790:3:791:3:792:3:793:1:794:1:795:1:796:1:797:1:798:1:1296:1:1373:1:1537:1:1641:1 copy="40_OL4" artifact=53:0...

To give people an idea what kind of a difference I am talking about: http://i.imgur.com/yq0jAts.jpg 40 traits will be obtained before 1st 7.2 raid. 42 traits will be obtained within 1st reset by many players. My legendaries are the quite common bracers+shard, 400 seconds +/- 10%, skill good. Default...

I didn't say the document is unclear. What I'm saying is that nobody I talked to sims OL as highest. While it is not exactly a scientific proof, it is meant to emphasize the need to sim your own character. Nobody in this forum is wearing default NH profile gear with no legendaries. Seeing as the pot...

https://docs.google.com/document/d/18CmCX5umT7HThbPWWz2avgS9ugD-UIGW9-D9UT6s9eA/edit That's Zulandias document. In there is a recommended path. This path is very different from what is simming highest for me and the mages I talked to. First three should go to LiG, CoT and IA, then the new traits sh...
