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

I'd recommend starting with one spec while you build up a collection of az gear. Fire is probably the most versitile atm. Then when you have the traits you want use your spare az peices to build up your off specs.

After watching a video about saving fire blasts till the last millisec of the blaster master buff during combustion burn I was thinking it would be better, when your in the last 30% of the fight with searing touch, to let your fireblasts stack up to 3 then use them to build stacks of master blaster ...

Could it be the origin array boosting their crit up. Its hard for crit not to be your best stat as a fire mage with the built in boost it gets so its likely origin is boosting their crit up hugely in uldir.

Depends on the situation and the oppisition. Druids, Palys, healers your gonna struggle one on one. 2 or more no chance. To escape a melee you can ice nova/dragon's breath > blink > invisability. To escape a good ranged i'd dragon's breath > start casting pyro (im assuming they'll break the stun and...

On cooldown. The longer you wait the longer till your next one. You only lose dps if another mob dies before it goes off on your afflicted mob. If you put on a target about to die it goes off quicker but you can get 2-3 on a hard group of mobs if you cast it while running towards them. Target a mob ...

Im sure many will disagree but with my origin array boosting my crit my sims show my strongest talents as IF and pyroclasm. Which would allow you to drop RoP. With blastermaster you can wait for heating up to cast pyro, wait till 1sec left and FB and Pyro to get a pyroclasm-pyroblast combo which is ...

Because frost doesnt have a burst windows to put stat boosts in they are less effective. Even a random proc trinket has a chance of procing inside arcane power, combustion or rune of power for example. Also I think the damage may be increased by Incanter's flow? Not sure. Its a strong trinket for al...

Really though you want an alert at 4 icicles so you don't precast a 6th frost bolt.

Comment on wowhead says id is 199844. If you using elvui there is an option to add spell id to the tooltip, you can just mouse over the aura when it pops up then.

They nerfed a lot of classes burst aoe its not a frost thing. Frost has been a pain in the ass for melee classes in pvp which is why our slows have been nerfed, our slows are insane atm especially in pvp. The 2% should put us up with fire if blastermaster gets nerfed which I expect it will at some p...

Yes. It will probably mean a different set of gear for raiding but if you crit is over 33%, its a waste of stats (not a complete waste, but not good).

4 charged Arcane Barrage hits hard. AB -> CU is a dps gain. Use it on cooldown or for add spawns.

This is relevant to Charged up as well not sure if anyone else has this issue but when I use charged up I only get 3 charges instead of 4. It's really weird and if anyone could explain it to me that would be fantastic. Bump on this. Seen this on my char too, not always but sometimes. Thought my wea...
