My question is have there been any sims where u never cast arcane barrage and just have %100 burn phase the hole fights? @Steejans456 , In all reality, it comes down to how long you can stay at casting AB and AM while having 4 AC stacks. Given proper circumstances you can maintain it for a while, b...

Hi - one question: Do You use PoM on every CD, or do You wait for AP? @Gruks , I'll try to be useful :-P Typically if PoM is banked until AP, it allows for more AB's into that AP period. So that's the goal being aimed for in most scenarios. Granted there are instances where you need immediate burst...

Hi guys, I'm very sorry if this is posted somewhere else and I missed it, but I'm still a bit confused on timing of RoP, MoA, AP, and Evoc. Should you try to line them all up every time, thus missing out on potential extra RoP/MoA's? Or should you be going for something closer to this (sorry if my ...

i usually use rop/moa/ap in the opener, and after i done i use rop again to burn my AM charges. Its off cd on time again for the next MoA

Guldan and Botanist are two or our less-amazing fights due to lots of target swapping and cleave, which are not the best attributes of Arcane. Parsing on Botanist will look crappy if you're doing ranged mechanics correctly, because there's a bunch of Arcane mages that just sit on the melee and AoE ...

Since you are a Human, you get extra secondary stats- That explains the difference that you are seeing. They still have that in the game?? I thought they got rid of that stuff way back when they tried to rebalance to racial perks? Oh well. YAY FOR DATA BEING THROWN OFF...yet again, because of a hum...

Ok, so after checking. The 666.6 seems to be spot on for +1% towards the tooltip for damage. However, I encountered an odd issue that I just can't fathom. Link to IMGUR upload http://imgur.com/a/Cu2zA In the below, you can see that I have no gear on, 0 mastery rating. the gloves has +668 mastery, so...

Thank you for the clarification. I just got home, so I'm gonna test the math against my rating number to see that I'm plugging it in properly.

.... or the pawn string: ( Pawn: v1: "Kenosmage": Intellect=14.21, CritRating=11.70, HasteRating=11.28, MasteryRating=11.32, Versatility=11.54 ) That's single target with amp, resonance, rop, erosion and OP, my exact stats are 9367 crit, 7242 haste, 5125 versatility and 5039 with 44122 int (that's ...

Ok, so then I need someone to explain to me this, since maybe I'm misunderstanding it overall. Mastery: Savant Requires level 78 Increases Mana Regen & Maximum Mana by 9.6% Arcane Charges increase the damage of affected spells by an additional 4.80% So with that, what I want to know, is what amount ...

So, I'm not a huge math person, but if I'm right, it looks like about 563-564 Mastery Rating = +1% damage. This is how I got to it, but again, I'm very hazy about the math: 400 = 0.71% X = 1.00% 0.71 / 400 = 0.001775 0.001775 * 563 = 0.999325% 0.001775 * 564 = 1.0011% So it looks like the 563-564 is...

I am not a numbers guy but I look at Lycoan's math, I saw this is his discord so I am quoting it out of context, hope it helps. " Lycoan - 01/20/2017 Major edit: The takeaway is that 400 mastery = 0.71% damage + 0.5% dmg when using 4AC blasts over the barrage rotation(edited) " Definitely gives a s...

Hello everyone, Rue here, I'm trying to find out if anyone can provide a table, layout, or anything that shows what the relative RATING to PERCENTAGE is for each stat. From what I gather and see, the below is mostly accurate from path notes and what not. Critical Strike: 400 rating is equal to 1% fo...

I just want to be sure of one thing, i've read everywhere that mastery was the way to go for arcane mage in 7.1.5... In your guide, Crit > Haste > Mastery > Versa... Am I dreaming ? How comes there is such a contradiction b/w different sources ? mastery gets relevant once you get lots of haste trin...

Hey guys ! I just want to be sure of one thing, i've read everywhere that mastery was the way to go for arcane mage in 7.1.5... In your guide, Crit > Haste > Mastery > Versa... Am I dreaming ? How comes there is such a contradiction b/w different sources ? Respectfully, Aelyra @Aelyra , The reason ...

Thank you for the input

@Nelfy , Oh, so just a quick thing about the Mark of the Claw. So it's about a 2.5/2.66% increase for Crit/Haste respectively. Definitely a nice little boost, but I'm using it more for the crit than anything. However, I've started coupling it with Sephuz's Secret (or my secondary TW when I use Shar...

Aside of all the trinket stuff, I'm finding that with luck, and sephuz's secret, I'm able to be at a 53% haste rating every 30 seconds for 10 seconds. Fight depending that is. If there are interrupts, dispells, or frost novae targets then it helps. Im a 35/20/31/2 for Crit/Haste/Mastery/Vers When I ...

My Icon of Rot is pulling about 6% of my overall damage, beating out Touch of the Magi, Hidden Satyr, and sometimes Mark of Aluneth. Just in some of the tests I've done. It's doing solid damage output and the +stat is good imo. I just don't get how it's ranking so low
