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

Nope, not possible.

Fire got buffed pretty hard (Pyroblast damage has been increased by 35%.) in the last round of hotfixes, does that make it viable once again?

Got a new one (all glitch out but not all are funny) plus new info. These glitches seem to only occur when using the 64bit Client.


Dis Troll has seen some serious shat, mon.

Got some new ones. Bug still isn't fixed.

Am I pretty?

Does Pyroblast still launch from some feet to the side of your character? I haven't played Fire since the patch.

Launches of your right hand as far as I can tell.

I just randomly found out that pressing F5 fixes this for a few seconds but then it goes back to creepy again... very strange. Edit: The longer you press F5 the longer it stays normal. If you just tap it, it fixes the problem for 1 sec or so but if you hold it down, it works for 5-10 seconds or so. ...

Is anyone else experiencing strange visual bugs on the log in screen?





This looks so strange and disturbing It has never occured prior to 6.0.3 and can't be fixed by restarting the game and/or pc.

Imho its the other way around. This forum is the reliable source for IV.

I did not say this forum isn't a way more reliable source, which it is. I use IV for my alts though.

[...]Blizzard never say it shouldn't be a good stat, or that it shouldn't be the second best stat.

Pretty sure they did.

What? Versatility is valued extremely low by most classes / specs.

Well, according to IcyVeins which has repeatedly been pushed as a "relatively reliable" source on this forum, versatility is the second best stat for Frost Mages, BM and Survival for example.

Hello fellow mages, I've noticed that versatility is currently valued extremely high by many specs. Any insight on why that is? It seems to be 100% contrary about what I recall Blizz saying about the role of versatility as a way to make your toon (specifically hybrids)... well... more versatile. I r...

Jade spirit was nerfed and will now show 83 int in tooltip as well and Windsong wasn't touched and still gives 75 crit?
Or is it only for beta servers?

Pretty sure it's live that way, I don't get it either.

How is Versatility so high?

Yep, they were... sadly.

That's nice, we love you too!

Hello fellow mages,

I wanted to simulate using very low haste and replacing fireball with scorch completely in order to generate more Pyros. When I simulate this I actually get less Pyro procs though, does anybody know why this could be?

I just gave the logs a quick look and as you said your Mage Bomb uptime could need some help. Also I've spotted several times where you build up 4 stacks, then used AM -> AM -> ABar. Why would you do this? With the T16 2P what you want to do is build 4 stacks, AM -> AB -> AM -> AB as long as you run...

The optimal time to refresh it is when LB has only one tick left since refreshing it at this point triggers the explosion. 3s seems pretty much to me, especially with Heroism and/or Meta proc. I suggest using AffDoTs or a similar addon that shows you when your LB ticks so you can refresh it optimally.

Is it possible to simulate this to calculate stat weights? Would love to optimize that, maybe even seperate BiS list?
