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

That is what I have today, but is not what I asked.

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to make a macro that works like this: when I press de "q" button, it casts Ice Block. When I press SHIFT + q, it cancels it (canceaura). I'm asking this because many times I spam hit "q" and what happens is I get the Ice Block and then it cancels before the atta...

Quick question on stats: every simulation I run with Simulcraft for single target fights (using "Light Movement fight"), 350 sec and 20% variation, it shows me versatility ~haste > mastery > crit (I use bracers + belt). However, I see on many single target fights, specially Sisters of the Moon Mythi...

Thanks guys!

Sorry if someone has already answered that (I took a quick look and didn't see it), but I just recently got the Fire Mage bracers, and have switched (back) to Fire. Question is: if I get a bracer proc during a Combustion, should I use it (and sacrifice many instant pyros) or not? I've seen people sa...

Might wanna re-sim it.... PTR updates just announced:

What is the best talent build for m+ right now? I´ve been running w/ Conflag/Shimmer/RoP/FO/Ice Ward/LB/CiS s Depends what you need in the group you're in. Personally I run Conflag, Shimmer, Rune of Power, Alexstrasza's Fury (with Darckli's Dragonfire Diadem), Frenetic Speed and Cinderstorm for all...

I am interested in this as well. I tried doing a seperate build for mythic plus and i ran a few today. I was messing around with different talents inbetween every run and my stats were 50-51% crit, 9-10%haste, 18-20% mastery and 2-3% versa. I was trying everything, different gear, different talents...

This just feels wrong... outside of pure numbers (still many PTR changes to come), I feel Blizz is breaking (again...) the core gameplay of Fire. Even if they end up buffing our baseline spells, the fun of the spec will no longer be there. Bursting into flames and having a short period of "explosive...

Last time I heard Blizz say "wel'll balance things out along the way", I saw Fire Mages go from top dps im MoP to shit, thanks to the combustion and critical mass nerfs (once again, these two... always these two). It took over one year for fire to go back up again, not until SoO, and only in cleave ...

So I was reading on BlizzCon interviews, and one of the things I read on Wowhead kinda got me worried: * We really want a BIG ilvl upgrade that drops to be a true upgrade. * We are looking to narrow the gap between secondary stat balance. http://www.wowhead.com/news=257423/blizzcon-2016-legion-whats...

Couldn't agree more. Looks like shit. I can imagine a human mage flying on that shit (it will still suck), but my Forsaken one? I saw the DK, DH and Warrior versions, they rock! We could have a blue drake (a.k.a. Malygos), a magic being that we could use to fly, a Phoenix (for fire mages, for exampl...

Quick question: I know it´s way too early to discuss DPS differences in sims (just saw SimulationCrafrt.org), but is Feral THAT much ahead of everything else as of now???

Any word on how the Aug 22nd nerf to Critical Mass affects Fire overall? Will this work as a buff while leveling / Dungeon Geared and nerf with Raid Gear? Any clues?

I feel like there couldn't be a more perfect fight for LB than Beastlord...

Blast Furnace?

my question is: what's the point of having 2 charges of inferno blast if I only use it to spread combustion or to get a pyro from a heating up buff? maybe a second one is used to spread LB to other adds when it's around 3 or less secs? Ohh, you should REALLY check this thread: http://altered-time.c...

Hey guys, I didn't really find a good list of talent/glyph suggestions for BRF (Normal and Heroic), so I decided to start a thread. Hope all you great mages can contribute somehow. So far, for the bosses I have downed/tried, this is what feels best for me (100% feeling, no simming here): - Gruul (BW...

Here is a great video on how to avoid the fire and keep movement to a minimum.

AWESOME! Thanks man!

Dutch, do you happen to have a quick boss-by-boss talent selection tip for Fire?

Also, if you happen to have some positioning hints for Twins, that would be very helpful (I find myself runing away from fire a lot).
FYI - my guild tanks them both by the room entrance.

I keep trying fire and seem to do fairly well on Kargath and Butcher but do horrible on pretty much everything else, I generally when am raid buffed am around 39% crit and use Blastwave Mirror Images and Meteor. Is fire just that much weaker (I'm being pushed into Arcane), I saw someone say they we...
