Doesn't work with glacial spike though? So the guide needs updating?

It does work with Glacial Spike.

Is frost getting another 3% buff (so 6% in total for 8.1)?

Yes, but not quite 6%.

The pyro damage stacks, the crit bonus doesn't

Yes, the icicle damage increase stacks.

Nah, BM did get the nerf. It's simming a lot lower now.

So, obviously the most popular - Blaster mastery build with azerite trait stacking. The main question - is it worth to use 370 ilvl blaster mastery gear over 385 uldir/random-azerites pieces? ... The last one i want you to share you thought about stat distribution and simulations (raidbots/askmrrob...

Do you have any logs with you doing this build. Kinda curious how good is "good"

Did you take into account of the Arcane Aura?

The 2% should put us up with fire if blastermaster gets nerfed which I expect it will at some point.

It wont, even if BM gets nerfed.

Yeah. You only do the BM stacking in 2 places; Combustion and Execute since those are the only places where you can reliably crit.

Yes, Simc isn't optimizing BM yet, though they're working on it now. Should have one implemented in a couple of days, according to them

The people stacking haste are playing with Blaster Master, which is the highest dps build is you can consistantly get 4 stacks of it.

It's AOE nerf, very slight ST buff.

you should be able to do the double pyro thing with 10% haste (you need to spam pyro during your scorch cast), but you will not be able to get 4 stacks of BM with it

Fire is arguably the worst spec in pve at the moment, Frost and Arcane are equally good so you can play whatever you prefer out of those two. Bullshit. Fire is the best performing mage spec in Uldir mythic atm. If we exclude Zul, where frost mages completely destroy everything, on almost every othe...

The only change with BM is during Combustion where you want to get to 4 stack of BM.



Note you need ~15% haste to comfortably do it.

Just watch Papa Evandis at work. he explains it well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbimzHrVH0k&fbclid=IwAR0urXUzBB1GueJxR1mSJXU4aoeZ3hsm4XNLsM_Txa4wJPwqejVBqhDwnWw this is the video that sparked my question. was hoping for more of a debate as opposed to seeing a video ive already watched Well, w...

CDs: Charged up is used way to rare. U could use a Charged up before and after every burn. Evo to 90-95%->Barrage->Charged Up->2-3 ABs to get u at around 60-70% mana (or any manavalue that u feel safe to hover at)->ABarr->Conserve Why would you use a charged up right after a barrage clear like that...

Hey guys was just wondering is it a dps loss to wait 5 seconds to get maximum dps from your inchanter’s flow talent before casting gs/flurry IL combo or just dumping it at any stack? Sorry if someone has mentioned this I may have missed it

Nope. Don't play around IF stacks

Did you include your reorigination stack when simming?
