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

yeah i figured as much after posting this.

The gear profile is just not updated yet

Anyone know if the sim has been updated to reflect the brainstorm nerf? It has. Raidbots nightly version is uptodate with it as well. The gear profile in simc still stacks Brain storm though. So it is not worth it anymore to change rotation for Brain storm (prepull evo, etc ) but the trait is still...

It is very easy to sim the char with both potions one after another. Just choose "Quick Sim" and under "CONSUMABLES" select the poition of your choice! For my 342 Frost Mage the Death Potion is better than Int Potion eeeeerr i meant the program SimulationCraft. Probably you are doing this on a webs...

Once you go troll, you never reroll :p

I am at the same spot as OP.. just main char, no interest to do the same grind for alts...wanted to play so many other games as well Guild is progressing at mythic when I stoped. I let the sub run out two weeks ago...still keep in touch with the wow news etc but probably getting back during summer f...

Why are you using incanter's flow instead Rune of Power in all the fights? It is mentioned on the beginning of the guide As a sidenote I would strongly recommend learning to play with Rune of Power to all fire mages, however given the audience this is directed towards I will say that Incanters Flow...

With the increased number of essences now just gather 1000 and try to get yourself the bracers. Have a look at the guides around these forums. You seem to be using wrong set of talents. Stop using ROP(unless you re very good at it) it is too tricky to play, go with IF. Also kindling is the go to for...

With a very quick look the fight duration is less than half between heroic (3:08) and mythic(7:12) sisters kill.
Fire dps will be very good in short fights but when they last longer you will drop

do you guys equip lower ilvl items to get these stats or only the higher ilvl drops with the correct stats?

There is never a pure AOE fight except trash (maybe also Mistress has almost always adds up) For the rest of the boss fights that have some adds during the fight your legendaries for fire should be the helm and the wrists or belt to balance a bit of ST with AOE. As for trinkets I use the sentinel me...

i have the same as Ez above.. Versa is highest for me too for ST

As for RoP it sims higher when having terror from below trinket equiped (the other is medallion). When I swap terrror with whispers in the dark MI sims higher

yes i see the same...the set bonus of T19 is valued really high because of the crit it gives ..it makes the sim dont care about crit by just telling you to equip the 2 set and then you focus on other stats

Hey guys. From what I see here and my own sims there really don't seem to be a reason to waste $25 for a racechange to make my undead into troll/orc. Is that true or is the extra damage CD very useful in a lot of fights despite not showing up hard in the sims? race changing for the dps gain only wa...

It is ok I guess..looks modern ..but it is really difficult to distinguish the new posts..maybe highlight the whole title with colored letters? i guess dark theme could help with this

Hey Ez in your different builds the icon for the pre-pot is Prolonged Power? Is this just a random icon choice or ppl should use that potion?
Isn't Deadly grace still the more effective potion to use? (and prolonged just a cheaper option)

maybe he just means it is not engaging playstyle which is a very subjective opinion
I remember trying arcane a month ago and AB cast felt so slow with my gear thus boring as a playstyle so i switched back

It doesn't mean it's not viable though.. good work on the guide and thanks

well for starters you are using kindling + firetex gloves. Is there a reason for that? does it sim higher for you? I think the highest simming combos are: Waist+ wrists for ST with meteor Helm + wrists for prio target/ cleave fights with cinderstorm if lot of adds grouped (if you can aim it properly...

this gif should be put below the title banner in the first page of the forums

i think fireball and pyro look a bit more ''beefy'' when travelling to target..other than that not much for fire

So I got the Tarnished medallion in 905ilvl yesterday... only tried it in two fights and it seems to do some 6-8% of my overall damage (maiden and avatar).

Should it be used only during combustion ? maybe macroed there as well since they have the same 2min cd?
