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

Welcome!

All three specs are perfectly viable in M+ right now, as could be seen nicely during the invitational.

Get close, but not over the crit cap. Any gem/enchant that puts you over I'd invest in your next best stat (in your case haste) to get full value out of it. Satyr is fine. Try to collect high pieces for non-set, non-legendary slots to have more options when simming around new gear. In the long run I...

No need, conflag spreads automatically with ignite and blast furnace doesn't do any damage.

Oh come one, why the Frost change? Having Frostbolt buffed instead of Ice Lance would have been sweet for GS.


Meanwhile I'm still waiting for the set that buffs Ray of Frost by 30%. THAT would be cool.

Assign IV and Flurry to a Macro? It helps to ensure a flawless string of GCDs when it counts the most.

(copy from mmo) For Frost it depends on how the mechanic is actually working. Suppose it's consumed on a succesful cast. In that case only the ice lance would get buffed, but nothing would change about the rotation. It would be a fairly simple buff to the shatter combo, but nothing else. In that cas...

Good to know, but do you know why that's the case? While more haste would help to get our more faster fireballs, more crit would mean you'd need to cast fewer of them due to the hot streak pyros you generate. Thanks for pointing that out.

Found the reason for the negative haste: seems I go oom. Sorry for straying off topic a little. Here's the sim:

Get more or less haste? Maybe replace one IL cast in the middle with a Frostbolt?

Was looking over Ezekielyo's guide since getting my latest Lego. In terms of lego priority it shows the belt (which I have) and shard as top choices aside from the bracers which I still don't have, but yet when I sim myself it's saying to use the lego shoulder's instead of shard, even though in the...

We had a similar cleave issue on Mistress. Turned out Boomie and Ret were whoring...

Will polymorph always put you in combat with the thing you polymorph? I feel like I often poly something out of combat, skip that mob and a minute later that thing comes back to me angry as hell Don't forget: you can even polymorph critters! On EoA I always do it at 4th boss if party don't pull the...

You don't want to bind Scorch to any button that you have to press with your index, middle, or ring finger because it can limit your mobility. For example, in case you use WASD and you bind it to F you can't go right and cast Scorch at the same time. Never bind anything that you might need to cast w...

1. Yes. 2. If your weights start flipping (for given talents and legendaries) it means you're optimized. In that case pick whatever you feel like playing. Fire weights are indeed all over the place, you're not alone with the issue. Switching a single talent (Firestarter vs. Conflagration, LB vs. FP,...

If I had a specific question, I would have asked it. In truth my guild is asking members to parse higher. I raised them quite a bit this week ( orange parse on Goroth and Sisters... well, now that one is purple after a few hours) and feel like I do well depending on procs, but I just wanted to know...

... That seems more of info that tanks would need rather than a mage since the tank leads the parade, usually. For routes there was recently a new website published - https://questionablyepic.com/mythic-plus/ On topic just to add: - snip - (lots of good stuff) Thanks for the link, wasn't aware of t...

Be specific about the question you're asking. Give a reason why anyone should spend an hour pouring over your logs other than that you can't find your mistakes yourself. Explain why anyone should care about whether or not you're performing well - why would this be interesting to anyone except yourse...

Sorry, forgot to add reading assistance in my post. Fixed.

That's pretty cool, thanks for the sims. <irony> They are not the same at all, no idea why you would think that. They probably even have different icons and animations! </irony> The one that gives you pure damage is on top (as it should), but the others with secondary benefits are so close that you ...
