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

On Ko'ragh, I spend my Cooldowns (including FO) while the shield is down (pretty obvious), and then I use Blizzard on the Adds that are inside the void zones with the tank. Since there's lots and lots of adds, the cooldown of my Frozen Orb is greatly reduced (almost reset) due to the improved Blizza...

What about the Bleed (Shattered Hand) enchant?

I'd wager IN/MI/TV is still top in the case with no splitting off PC, since IN/MI/PC is still top with splitting. You are referring to Ice Lances cleaving onto the boss as your second target from the Ice Lance glyph, correct? If so, is there a list of bosses there this does or does not happen? I wo...

The front page of SimC.org uses BRF gear and tier bonuses. It is not an accurate representation of how the specs perform in highmaul gear. http://i.gyazo.com/113d7f22197e5ed53e702dfd412096c4.png That's pretty interesting, I didn't know about that. Seems like I can switch from Frost to Arcane with l...

As far as I know, the changes are not yet live. This bandaid patch for fire will most likely to be reverted when fire will become overpowered yet again. In their desperate attempt to make the spec viable, the actually contibuted to the problem, which is scaling. They either buff fire enough, so you...

Weak auras for Highmaul encounters. Very simple auras. Berserker Rush Gushing Wounds Fixate Crystaline Barrage Expel: Magic Fire Arcane Wrath Infesting Spores Nullification Barrier Rejuvinating Spores I made them earlier today before I had entered Highmaul. I did normal Highmaul and they seemed to ...

So, we got some amazing buffs yesterday. Any thoughts about it? Simcraft says we're over the top (yay), but there's lots of moderate/high movement fights in Highmaul. I wonder if that'll still make it more viable than fire or frost. http://www.simulationcraft.org/reports/Raid_T17N.html" target="_blank

Does anyone have an updated Simcraft including yesterday's buffs?

*eyes fixate on Frosted*

Fire Enhanced Pyrotechnics now causes a stacking 10% increased critical strike chance (up from 5% per stack). Molten Armor now increases spell critical strike chance by 15% (up from 5%). I was stunned by these -almost indecent- changes. Arcane and Fire got buffed as well, and Arcane DPS seems to be...

I think I'm gonna go with Evanesce then. TY for the advice

I'm using Copeland's Clarity and N Runestone. I'm unsure if I should replace the Runestone with DMF Trinket, the lack of procs still feels strange to me.

Sooo... I've been assigned to the shitty task of bouncing the Arcane Wrath on heroic Mar'gok. I can burst for a good amount of damage on the pull, but my DPS is falling behind as the fight goes on (never got to phase 4). I know that it's impossible to mantain a high DPS when I need to get out of the...

I have a question..so when u guys say u use TV do u then use the glyph of IV (multistrike) or u remove the glpyh? Cuz i think i read somewhere that TV is only good with higher haste output? I'm using the glyph. But I've never experimented any fights without it so far, so I can't tell if it's best. ...

I see that tattoo :) n_n" I love the Horde, even though I'm playing Alliance right now because all my friends transferred. Our realm is like 25% horde/75% alliance, so raiding with the horde there has become impossible. I'm not a "faction fag", you won't see me picking a fight over that, but yellin...

You should hold FO for PC (it's been shown in the stat/talent comparison thread); not sure about MI and IV. I guess you should only do it if you get same number of casts - so far a 5 minute fight you shouldn't (cast at 0, 2 and 4 instead of 0 and 3, don't wait for IV), but for a 4 minute fight you ...

I was going for IN/MI/TV in all fights. I don't like how FB works right now, but maybe I just lack the playerskill. However, I was gonna test PC on Kargath last night (but couldn't because the DDoS attacks didn't let me play). My issue with all these talents is about the cooldowns. Should I hold my ...

I've been wandering around the forum for a while, and finally decided to create an account. Hello n_n
