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

I'm trying to make a single weakaura that tracks chain reaction and changes the progress timer's color from white to yellow at 6sec and red at 3sec duration remaining. Supposedly, you can do this by going to animations > Main > Custom, then tick color > custom and enter the lua code. My knowledge ab...

So apparently my napkin math was a little off. Did a bit of testing on the PTR with the new leggo and a GS build. Comet storm wound up doing 6.6% of my total damage. It can crit as well as benefit from the T20 4P +crit dmg so that adds up to a bit more then I was thinking. If your 8th spell is a Fl...

I get noticeably better results on the training dummy with completely neglecting Versatility in favor of Mastery (currently at 86%). I'm at 53 traits, ilvl 896, 27% Crit, 8-9% Haste, 1% Vers. It's quite difficult ...

I'd like to create a Weakaura that triggers upon Frozen Orb first hitting a target, which then should give me a static 10 sec countdown timer until the orb explodes into Ice Time's Frost Nova after its duration is up. There are two problems with this: - I can't just track the cooldown of Frozen Orb,...
