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

I am quitting the game over the completely unnecessary change to cone of cold's graphic.

In BRF fruit basket with ice floes works some of the time for me. Sometimes proccing one trinket. Often neither.

Barrage works every time proccing both, same way starsurge does on my boomkin.

The difference is pretty minor so I just go with barrage.

I suppose one must consider the MI change in relation to prepull MI with spec swap "trick", which hasn't been fixed and still isn't fixed on the PTR yet that I am aware of. If it stays working, those MI will be hitting your crystal.

I'd think it's a decent MI buff, even taking into account them finishing their prior cast before starting casts on the crystal, and having a cast cut off when the crystal despawns, it's probably something like 10-15%.

There's two sorts of ways you can do blackhand: 1: 3 crystal P2 2: 2 crystal P2, save one and 2 crystal P3 This depends on your kill time and where damage urgency is needed. If you're soaking the first debris of P3 you probably won't be able to get two crystals in the phase unless your raid's P3 dam...

They really like nerfing brain freeze for some reason.

Awful first mythic butcher kill using the "mages soak bounding cleave" strat, never gonna rank sadly. Also: shitty loot.

I iceblocked bombardment / malicious blast when the iron star landed then sat there like an idiot thinking being immune would prevent it fixating me, and had it explode in my face.

People looking to rank #1 on IJ may want to start considering Garry helm + 4PC as an option, assuming they have the valor to upgrade tier pieces. I might give the 4pc a go next week and see how it goes, I currently hold the #2 IJ parse at 502.8K DPS. (the #1 511k has 22% tricks uptime, I'm not bitt...

Always use 2pc.

Try the 19k, see how it works out. I don't use it personally as 14242 has given me the best results on garrosh (I still have the #5 parse I think), but I'm curious.

A better scarlet halls (3:13) which would be world 4 / US 1, can replace the other one.

While my guild's kill times are considerably faster than yours, unless int is valued equal or very close to a secondary stat, jade spirit appears better at a glance. My uptime on jade spirit on every boss (excluding immerseus, galakras and spoils) is in the 48-60% range, your cumulative uptime on wi...

US 1 Scarlet Halls challenge mode, 3:19 mage pov

played the last boss kind of crap but otherwise solid

I wasn't aware SoO fights involved stutter casting since that can be almost entirely avoided with either ice floes or better positioning. NT multidotting as frost really only applies to protectors and galakras at the current gear level (nazgrim and spoils adds die too fast) and frost NT is weeeeeaaa...

It's never been a must to wait for BF / 2x FoF. AT is mainly used to extend trinket procs. Also going into AT with 4-5 icicles if possible is nice to do so it's best to wait for PBoI to proc before doing so. Arguably you won't even be casting FoF-IL during AT if you have enough mastery and meta/trin...
