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

You can use Ebonbolt on CD if you wish to do so. The difference between holding it and using it on CD is marginal. Personally, on boss fights I prefer keeping it, and on trash blowing it on CD. You have frost nova and pet freeze to shatter GS on trash anyway.

Based off of the logs you provided, your friend should check the fundamentals of the frost rotation and ideal set up. The two major issues I've seen is that he doesn't use Brain Freeze procs properly aka Glacial Spikes, Ice lances and hard casts. Secondly, Comet Storm is a must in M+. One last thing...

You can have a look at wowanalyzer, which gives you detailed info of your performance regarding specific fights based off of warcraftlogs and it tells you where you can/should improve. If you have specific questions, you can ask here! https://wowanalyzer.com/report/CzK28dQqj43mbARa/1-Normal+Champion...

What are you guys going to use your precious bonus roll coins on (which you hopefully have already 5 saved up of)? I would presume the biggest upgrades are the new azerite armor pieces with the extra extra ring of abilities, however they only come with a 10 ilvl difference (Mythic 385 vs Heroic 400)...

This will help you out a LOT.

No changes to arcane, tweaks (mostly nerfs) to frost and extra stats favoring fire, I would say fire will be the go to mage spec.

At a certain point time becomes the limiting factor to the burn phase and not mana. You still need AP and ROP for the burn phase. Else you are just dumping your mana really. Same thing happened at the end of Legion where Arcane mages needed more haste because mastery reached values where time became...

It all depends what your primary focus is in the game. If it's raiding and you do 1 M+/week for the cache, then I would absolutely calculate it into the cap. You basically might want to change around some rings for raiding or M+ purposes. Also, while doing that, make sure you don't accidentally make...

It's mainly about not using your CD's effectively. You have a lot of unused Rune of Powers for instance. Your Water Elemental was set on Passive. You are talented into Living Bomb on ST fights, etc.. I would highly suggest you check out some guides on talents, CD usage and general rotation so you ca...

I don't understand the purpose of having a 1.5 sec 50% move reduction with blizzard at 8.1. Is it that each time a mob get touch by blizzard it get slowed for 1.5 sec? Or one time per blizzard cast? It seems completely useless to slow a mob for 1.5 sec, I mean remove all slow together would almost ...

Your logs show that you did NOTHING for 75% of the fight. That might be a good reason...

Perhaps if you would link logs or something, that would be helpful. Also, you can try sticking your logs into wowanalyzer!

Your parses are above 75% even ilvl wise. There seems to be no major issue with your rotation what so ever. Zekvoz is a fight that favors frost due to the add phase and cleave. Taloc, Mother and Fetid are Arcane favored, the rest is divided between Frost and Fire.

Are there no new Azerite Trait for mages in 8.1? The lack of no new Arcane traits is especially disappointing. Furthermore, what about the tweak of weaker traits that are essentially useless? Where are class balance changes for mages? I know that mages are doing fairly well, but there are still a bu...

I suggest you read in your spellbook what Shatter does, and think through how it works. You are obviously doing something VERY wrong. Also, check how far you are to the boss, if you are standing too close, Flurry won't reach the boss before Glacial Spike does, which results in a failed combo of cour...

I just get double nova talent and try them to be dead at the same time(like they have bolstering) that is going fine i have finished 8-8-7-7 for now.Which keystone lvl are you doing and what are your group performing?For example, if you cc one or two mobs to kill a pack,you don't want to use comet ...

It's Sanguine this week on EU, is it worth switching over from Frost to Arcane/Fire seeing as it is undesirable to slow/root mobs which are inside the Sanguine pool? Any tips for Frost mages regarding this nasty affix? What are your thoughts?

I have a question about the Mythrax fight. The situation is the following: when people get mind controlled via the orb, does Glacial Spike Splitting Ice combo root these people thus making them unfreeable for the duration of the root? What is the best way to help people out of the mind control orb? ...

According to your logs, your macro doesn't work properly then. Make sure you are using it in the correct order. I highly recommend using weakauras addon for tracking CDs. As for Evocation, you are probably using Arcane Barrage too often. While fights like MOTHER could allow you to miss an Evocation,...

First and foremost, you seem to be missing out on a LOT of Charged Up Cds (80%+). Also, remember that after using Charged up, you should aim to use an Arcane Blast for the Rule of Thress proc. Then, you should aim to use Evocation every time its up. On both of your HC kills, you have at least 1 miss...
