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

So you cast FB w/ brain freeze, with the intent to fire off BF followed by IL. BUT, your previous FB that was flying procs a FoF, so you are mid-cast with the intent to BF>IL, but now you have the FoF proc. Do you munch the FoF proc? Or do you burn the BF procs first? Frostbolt generates procs when...

Boss: Skorpyron Spec: Frost Tip: Crystalline Skorpids (only the smallest adds) can be frozen by pet's freeze. Boss: Chromatic Anomaly Spec: Frost Tip: Smallest Elementals can be frozen by pet's freeze. Boss: Trilliax Spec: All Tip: Beam can be blinked over if needed, best used together with shimmer....

Side note on that, anyone come up with or sims solve yet, if it's better to wait on for a BF before using Ebon or just keep Ebon on CD and if it happens to match a BF proc then bonus for you? I'm assuming it's the former because of how in a good majority of cases you rarely wanna delay spells unles...

One last thing that I think is worth mentioning. If you look at how many FoF procs even the top parses munch or how many BF procs get munched just by playing the spec, especially with two piece, I bet we could be so much better dmg if our class mechanics like FoF and BF didn't have the munch chance...

Which I guess goes back to the OP's point. Are most of the people who play Frost more casual? I do know that most high-end raiders stayed Fire, but there have to have been serious raiders who either started Frost, or, like me, swapped to Frost sometime towards the end of EN or in ToV. I don't think...

Anything else? IV. TimeWarp. Hrm. Personally I like having chain reaction and blizzard cooldown(or duration) auras. Brain Freeze is covered by blizzard auras, and I adapted FoF to add extra graphics for a 3rd charge, from the base of 2 from blizzard. (Note, Blizzard FoF auras are still bugged. Some...

Haste is showing low for you for 2 big reasons: 1) Crit is our best stat, up until softcap (33.34%). Having too much crit isn't great, but generally I've found that aiming to have about 2/3 as much haste rating as I have crit rating gives similar stat weights for both. The shorter your Icy Veins, th...

Today I tried Frost in normal Nighthold. At most bosses it worked good. However, Im not really happy with my DPS. Maybe some of you can help me to improve it abit. Because i plan to play Frost as my Mainspec. Here are the Logs: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/cdkwxKZL678fQHtF#fight=3&type=summ...

Frost performs worse than Arcane/Fire at the very highest level as well. That's the level most players look at to decide which spec to play - no matter if they don't play at that level themselves. This is a 2-way street. I would say that frost actually outperforms both fire and arcane (In single ta...

Arcane is very well suited to most fights in Nighthold. It's a good baseline. Frost is also a very good spec in general for nighthold; slightly less utility, slightly higher damage, slightly better legendaries. Arcane has the major benefit of not needing to change talents for different fights. Arcan...

if you have a brain freeze proc, always, always, always burn all your FoF and use your flurry, trying not to time it in such a way where you would get a FoF before you finished the flurry->ice lance combo. Brain Freeze has a high proc rate, very high with 2pc, and flurry hits VERY hard (like as hard...

I'm a frost mage with BiS legendaries, so mind that bias, but beyond that here's my take: Arcane: Pros: Performing very well, very well suited to many fights in nighthold. Great single target, very solid aoe (with very good burst aoe). Very non-punishing rotation. Spec defensive: Greater invis, is a...

From what I've seen, frost bomb and arctic gale are very close to each other in terms of 4 target situations. In this type of situation, you'd want 100% uptime on blizzard, regardless of whether or not you run arctic gale. I would personally recommend not running unstable magic in nighthold if you w...

1. Should I begin casting a frostbolt after I launch my frozen orb? It feels a bit unnatural to stand there doing nothing while I wait for the orb to fly, so for that reason I've been casting a frostbolt as it travels. If you cast frozen orb while you have 0 FoF, the most it can give you on contact...

Thingy, what version of simcraft are you using, as well as what fight duration are you using? I'm using nightly builds as well as 5 minute fight durations and my max sims are only up at 577k dps. And i certainly don't think that's because of a gear discrepancy, we're almost identically geared.

Hey, I'm Drozzy-Mal'ganis, also 7/7, 2/3M. I've noticed how significant the activity differences are between the spec forums. As a high-ranking frost mage on most fights, I felt the urge to try to draw more mages to the frost spec, so here I am. Since the new patch has devalued thermal void so much,...

Before I got the chilled to the core trait, I used this opener: pot + precast Ebonbolt > Orb > FBomb > IV + dump IL. But I've come to like this opener better: pot + precast FBolt > water jet at ~.7s before pull (however long the casttime is with your haste) > FBolt > Orb > FBomb > IV + dump IL (incl...
