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

yeah my 875 Arcanocrystal with a socket (200 int gem) is going to be BiS until 7.2 Tomb of Sargeras I'm pretty sure, the 2ndary stats are so good for arcane.

That and run with either bracers and trinket or bracers and sepguz/shard for legendaries

Legs would only help if you ran Charged Up and used it on CD to gain mana. If you were strictly ST then GS and Rhonin's might be the best bet. It would be possible with OP, but not with TF. AoE would be near impossible to constant burn IMO, maybe I'm wrong but I think that would be a bit too much to...

Personally I have Metronome/4set and I aim for 18%+ and maybe under 28% haste, but going too far above 25% should be hard assuming you aren't using gem/enchant as haste.

Awesome post, as well here is my spreadsheet showing when you'll be able to fit more casts into AP if you're interested in the haste amounts

So long story short no one plays RoF/RoP and/or Comet Storm because they're "high skill cap?" even if they're potentially better? I mean I understand TV is good and has a place, but I think all 3 different builds have a specific place where they shine and some laces where they lack, but I just don't...

"Like you, I've got an understanding that I ought to prioritize haste even further - to be at least above 17%. However, I can't in any way get sims to demonstrate that. Are you able to get sims to even approximate the value you put on haste as described or is your choice to run 20% haste solely base...

It does not really make use of it no. If you dropped ilvl to get 4 set it'll sim lower.

I usually try to hold my AP on the 2nd or 3rd use to use Evo before it. It's how I use it atm.

I would say the single easiest thing to boost your DPS by around maybe 100k+ on some fights is to use Arcane Explosion. You didn't even use it once on a few fights (Botanist Star Augur. and Elisande). 2 times on Chronomatic Anomaly, 11 times on Spellblade (I think I used it like 60 times on that fig...

Nah you nailed it on the head. I always save it for AP especially when running Overpowered. The only instances where I would desync it is if we need an add to die within seconds/damage checks if we're hitting certain walls in DPS.

I'm going to give my opinion on this since I feel a bit......strongly on stat weights and the misrepresentation this APL of Arcane gives us in regards to stat weights. Personally I run 20%+ haste generally, unless I have a huge upgrade that'll bring me below 20% As you've stated, most of NH is AoE, ...

I've seen a plethora of different builds for raiding and I'm curious what most people use. Also as far as stats go, I figure most builds minus GS prioritize 33% crit and then haste, curious if that's correct or not or when RoF builds differ from TV builds. TV build: BC/IF/FT/UM/TV (With FT/SI and UM...

We have a list of BiS trinkets on the site somewhere, at the least in my guide (Nelfy's Guide) 2nd Questions: Kilt, Rhonin's, Gravity Spiral are all worth equipping over 4 set, but try to work around them. I aim for stats around this: Crit: 30% Haste: 15%-19% Mastery: 25%-35% depending on legendarie...

It turns out that Mark of the Claw is BiS for other classes, so I assume it's competitive for us. I personally like running it since I like to min/max my choices mid fight.

This is a bug that has been here since PTR, if your Arcane Blast procs an AM and you AM right after that Arcane Blast it won't reduce the Evo cooldown.

Pretty huge bug for us in terms of DPS loss.

I have not heard anything about a blue post that acknowledges this though.

First off I want to say don't relay that this is a gear issue, it's definitely not. I mean more gear will make your DPS go up, but it won't fix the problem you're looking to fix. The problem she is having is more of an AoE problem. The single target stuff isn't looking bad, 50%+ for ilvl which isn't...

Long story short you're doing more than fine. Nothing glaring in your logs that is rotationally wrong, using mana sufficiently, potting with CDs/Hero, etc. Any thing you do better will be min maxing in a sort. A few things, maybe don't run with a mastery stat stick when you have Gravity Spiral, use ...

I'm also curious since you posted about the mark of the claw, I know the sims show them not being a huge difference, but I wonder how having that extra haste and crate every now and then would be, a good overall 3%~ buff at random times could bode well especially if we were in our burst. I'm also ex...

dude those trinket charts are literally the best resource I've seen put out in regards to theorycrafting as a whole for the mage community. Love it man, keep up the amazing work.
