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

Side question: Will frost be viable as I get closer to BiS? My Arcane skills seems to be capped at a very low stage. Currently all 3 specs are so close to each other that you can basically play which one you're best at/ have the most gear for and yield results very close to each other. The exceptio...

Has this been fixed on beta yet?

Btw: Peaked at just over 5m dps on Shamans using this trick with my Arcane Gear. Is it worth swapping out heroic KTT for normal BBoY to do this?

Generally spoken, Mastery is better for fast kill times, Haste is better for longer fights. This is because Combustion makes up so much of your damage in the burst, but for longer fights you'll do most of your damage by Pyros, which are more frequent with more Haste.

Question on that btw: Is it worth delaying to refresh LB in order to set back in an HU/HS position? Also when I have BBoY procced I tend to more often break potent flames camping and spam Pyro's on 8.9 and 10 stacks rather than refreshing LB at sub 2 seconds remaining.Thanks! The most important thi...

I think I kind of mastered the class. However I would still like your opinions on what I can do to improve my playstyle because I know there is still a lot of room to improve for me. That's a contradiction right there :D You mastered it but have lots of room to improve? :D :D On the topic though: I...

First of all: You have not even defeated Siegecrafter heroic yet so damage numbers are irrelevant. Some classes/specs do insane burst damage on the pull but fall further and further behind the longer the fight is going (Affliction for example). Some classes don't have great burst but good sustained ...

**Edit: It is not your fault. I have just re-downloaded addon from Curse and the same thing is happening Yeah, strange... it's working for me. Maybe some other AddOn interfering? AffDots stores its functions in global variables which allows it to be hooked and modified but may also cause problems w...

Yeah I found the line and also when I made it post the changes in chat, it does not change based on mana for some reason.

I think I've found the problem you were referring to: Mana Adept was only calculated when something else changed. I fixed this now so it's always being updated. Check the OP

This does seem to fix RoP but no reaction to Mana Adept as far as I can tell. Well, it does include Mana Adept: if spec == 1 then dmg_buff = dmg_buff + ((GetMasteryEffect() / 100) * (UnitMana("Player") / UnitManaMax("Player"))) end if you change the next line from --print("DmgBuff "..dmg_buff) to p...

I just released my fix to the AffDots Mage module, maybe you want to check it out, now that you know how and when to snapshot: http://altered-time.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=376" target="_blank

Btw: Thanks for all the quality TC, Komma

YES PLEASE!!!

Updated my original post, check it out :)

Hello Forum, since DoTs are far more powerful for Arcane Mages compared to the other specs, I've started using AffDots to monitor their strength. As you know AffDots needs a plugin to work for non-Warlocks and the standard one from Curse which is being developed and maintained by Xab3r works but doe...
