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

That's awesome.
Just tested it as arcane, be aware that it seems to bug http://www.wowhead.com/spell=195676/displacement" target="_blank. When Arcane Momentum is turned on, the Displacement beacon is placed on the spot you blink to instead of the spot you blink from.

Has there been any official mention of why they want to remove Amplify Magic?

Hey, nice guide. I have a few Arcane Orb-related questions: Conserve Rotation - [With Arcane Orb talented]: Cast it whenver you have no arcane missile stacks. When using Arcane Orb, is it better to use it on cooldown to fish for missile procs, instead of saving it for when you are at zero arcane cha...

The buff doesn't appear until either the AB or AM cast is over, since that is when you get the AC charge. The problem, as I have understood it (and as I've noticed ingame a few times), is that this happens: Start AB FInish AB + get AC stack Start AM Start new AM just as old one ends + get AC stack +...

This change makes me sad: Ice Floes: Your next Mage spell can be cast while moving. Castable while another spell is in progress and unaffected by global cooldown. Max 3 charges. http://www.wowhead.com/news=246084/6-1-ptr-build-19579-mystic-runesaber-shop-mount-heroes-promotion-pet-february-3r" targe...

I might be drafted into doing CMs in half an hour. I'll go as frost. Does anyone have any thoughts on the best talent and glyph setup?

And also best trinkets?

So many different suggestions for openers... anyone know which one is the right one (with IN-MI-PC)?

While I think it's a good idea, I don't think there are any glyphs for talents, only for baseline spells.

hunters have one. It is the minor Glyph of Stampede, so it;s not unheard of now.

Oh, thanks, I couldn't think of a single one.

While I think it's a good idea, I don't think there are any glyphs for talents, only for baseline spells.

I'll try that. I'll also try out TellMeWhen and make some backup auras if the problem happens again on my Wednesday raid i think.

Greeting fellow mages. I am having WeakAuras problems. After 6.0, I made some UI changes and made some new WeakAuras. On Wednesday, everything was good. Between Wednesday and Sunday, either I made some changes, or there was an update that changed something. During combat in raids sunday, my framerat...

Here's my very short list of places where I know it worked for me: Iron Juggernaut - Prevents damage and knockback from Shockwave Malkorok - The breath attack (didn't test the slams) Spoils - Completely avoid damage from the bombs the mantids throw at you without dropping them (they still explode ar...

I checked all mage-gear with hit, and it followed this pattern. For instance http://wod.wowhead.com/item=112721&bonus=0" target="_blank used to be haste/hit, and is now haste/crit.

Lots of boring spirit gear has been converted into useful and interesting mage gear instead. Here's a list of the new items you may want to get your hands on during the next month, if you are still doing Siege of Orgrimmar: Weapon http://wod.wowhead.com/item=112723&bonus=450" target="_blank - Crit/M...

Looks like Lhivera is retiring from WoW. He was the first mage theorycrafter I discovered, and before places like Altered Time and Icy Veins, I would use his info for all things mage. I am sorry to see him go. http://lhiveras-library.com/content/farewell-arms-frost-affliction-survival-etc-etc" targe...

Last raid I tested precasting Flamestrike on Garrosh, to get the dot ticking and get extra chances at trinket procs. I had both trinkets up when I reached four stacks of arcane charge every pull. It is probably a dps loss to not precast Arcane Blast, but I would rather loose a little dps and have al...

I ended up being the the main target at the point where I was supposed to be soaking, so I didn't even get to try it out. But I can see your points about needing more immunities together so noone has to move. But anyways, thanks for the input everyone, it was much appreciated.

While we CAN do it, there are fat better classes to do it. We are not only losing dps by soaking but also immobile which is the bigger issue. During malice 4 you are going to likely be trying to get accross the room for good position on your final malice, ice blocking makes this a mad dash at the e...

Thanks for the replies guys, I guess I'll be on soaking duty tomorrow then

On Garrosh HC in phase 4, do immunities like Ice Block work for soaking Malice? I've tried searching for an answer, but half the posts I find say you can't, the other half that you can.
