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

agreed. wish NT was more situational (should be best in theory on Botanist, and yet it doesn't scale compared to all the +damage modifiers talents)

as far as the debuff from Whispers, I tend to barrage and slow build back up with AB or AE, I do try and hold onto AMs till its gone.

Agreed with this and posted all over blizz forums. the best defense is a good offence? more surviveability? yay... having it being tied to our burst combos? Blur for DH, Outlaw sprints, dispersion for sPriests ... all reverted... it also seems to lock in all the damage amplifier talents, back to 1 t...

I've been running GS + Rhonin's + 4piece w/ 32/11/28/5 and Metronome, I can safely say, it is impossible for me to come even close to a never ending burn phase, maybe if you stack mastery, but at that point you are diminishing the damage you do during your burst phase it would not be worth it. On S...

have you posted this video on blizz forums?

Do you guys think we actually need the 4set? Seems like it would mess up our rotation. It might be good with the legendary hat, but it seems pretty useless without it. How does it mess up your rotation exactly? Are you speaking from experience or are you just theorizing? I got the 4pc yesterday and...

got a 900 Whispers off a bonus roll on first kill. :D I personally feel it may be best for frost... and Temporal Flux builds... but I do not have 2/4p to really use TF. for OP builds, I suggest delaying your opening OP SLIGHTLY to line up with the first proc, It does feel bad if you miss it and half...

the +damage per charge on mastery rating is 1/2 the mana regen coefficient...

like Verse
( +5% damage done, then 2.5% damage reduced damage taken) for super eazy maths.

checked my armory...
around 28% mastery ---> ~8% additional damage per charge.

Hi guys, I started playing Arcane at 7.1.5 and I'm a bit lost about stat priority I simm this : https://simc.dyneslott.com/sims/daer/daer-20170124-192418.html;" target="_blank I have Kilt and Trinket leg; and there is my armory (894 ilvl) http://eu.battle.net/wow/fr/character/dalaran/Daer/simple" t...

I am not a numbers guy but I look at Lycoan's math, I saw this is his discord so I am quoting it out of context, hope it helps.

Major edit:
The takeaway is that 400 mastery = 0.71% damage + 0.5% dmg when using 4AC blasts over the barrage rotation(edited)

@Frosted Thank you for all that you do!

My understanding is all these trinkets are at the 900 lvl? feel @MrGba2z has the same question.

happy to see the Aran's Chest Pair show up on 4target+
Also happy Burning Sky is no longer trash. (i asked you a week ago, thanks again)

lots of burst cleave.

going to try Flow, Resonance, ErSn and ORB tonight on Normal (think it will shine on skorp, Trilliax, tich, botanist, Guldan) ...

AE is your new best friend.

Haze, check out the latest sims once they are out, Mastery is back baaaybe! (unless you have Mystic kilt)

@Rue I commented briefly in another thread, but I feel the 1/24/17 hotfix is normalizing our talent tree:: so AMP is for ST... with RoP OP. (burst windows like combustion) Temp Flux with 4 pt19?? not there yet. aFam for AE/cleave fights... IFlow goes well with ORB, 20 sec cycle on 20 sec CD. Resonan...

my impression.

they normalized the damage in the talent tree. We can now pick the talents we want for each boss fights and not get stuck in the '1 tree or dps loss' frame of mind.

rule of thumb?

ST - AMP
cleave - Orb? pairs well IF (mythic +)
AOE - aFam +AE spam --- OP or Orb?

@deltoramasta First off, been looking at your logs for a long time, gratz on that top Skorp. parse!! AO on Tich is great for cleave bursting the bloods/adds... so i agree with your statement there. I think AO, and maybe even NT, can be great on fights like Botanist as well, especially later on when ...

890 Fury of the burning sky?

Wait are we supposed to always use MoA with AP? I thought it depended on fight length. If the fight is 3 minutes long for example you save MoA for AP, but if it's 4 minutes you use it on a CD with a rune good question. I asked the same question during 7.1... typically I try and delay the 2nd MoA th...

@Rue good insight... and good questions. please forgive all the shorthand... I have NOT done alot of testing... this is a GENERAL overview of my thoughts on rotations. Legendary and gear WILL change your experience. Burn/ opening is still very similar.... [with AMP, Slip, RoP, Res, Chrono, ErsN, OP ...

I don't know if it's the right place to seek help. I've finally switched from Fire to Arcane spec in raid (mythic EN and heroic ToV) and the DPS number seem's a bit low. Any idea how can I improve it? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/VMZNR7QrjJ29mBLW#fight=18 My mage is Krarth (the only arcane ...
