Re: Precast ABarrage instead of AB?

Wouldn't this only work if you're the only one attempting this? If 2 or more players are trying to do something like this, it might cause some chaos.

Re: The Learning Curve

What icy floes thing are you referring to?

As of last night, it still works with all MAGE spells, including chanelling spells like Missiles and Evo.

Re: Shang's Arcane Guide (updated for 6.1)

I usually check my mana level. So at 4 charges: 1. Is my mana above 93% - if so cast Arcane Blast - else cast Arcane Missiles 2. Repeat 1. I am a bit shaky on the burn phase though. Most people say to forget about AM under 70% mana unless at 3 stacks, but I think I read Frosted saying that we should...

Re: Shang's Arcane Guide (updated for 6.1)

You're far safer using Clarity stage 4 after patch with a Normal BRF trinket.
Copeland's Clarity is the BOE from HM. You're thinking about Sandman's Pouch. :)

"Every time your trinket fails to proc, it increases the chance it will proc. Unlucky streaks will be more rare and extremely unlucky streaks should never happen. In addition, we increased the chance for these trinkets to proc on the pull."

Re: I suck at fire

. So I was spamming fireballs in order to land heating up procs, and a lot of the time if I didn't fireblast to get the guaranteed proc for pyroblast, the heating up proc would disappear for no good reason. Try checking your combat logs. It's usually a good place to see any weird shenanigans. It so...

Re: LocNess' WoD Fire Mage Guide

I'm in a pretty casual raid group, so I might not be the best mage to judge performance.

With that said, most of the time I'm solidly in the middle, behind the hunters, but ahead of the shammies and locks and pallies. Our raid is pretty cool with what you play, as long as you don't suck.

~45% crit, raid buffed + food :)

Crafted gear helps a lot.

Re: Fire Trinkets

Why i think so is because the sheer contribution combustion makes to your dps is astonishing.
Combustion makes up about 8-11% of my total damage, and maybe a bit more on Tectus.
Not sure that counts as "sheer contribution". :)

Patch 6.1 also brings us 125 stat food, boosting the relative rank of the Pandaren racial.
Hmm, I must've missed this. Did it say where this food comes from?

Re: Patch 6.1 PTR Discussion

I actually like the Glyph of Ignite changes. I use Frostfire Bolt when questing(mostly for the Slow) and Fireball when Raiding, and sometimes I forget to change the keybinds when i remove the glyph. There were a lot of wtf moments wondering why my FFB was casting so slow.

Re: How big should my Ignites be?

I would say 2500 is low though, I get that from just lobbing a single Pyroblast. It does depend on gear though. For you to get a 2500 ignite tick from a single Pyroblast, you'd need a really high mastery % With my gear (642), i only get around 25% mastery, which means that my pyroblast needs to hit...

Re: How do we fit Meteor into the rotation

I usually do wait until I get a Pyro proc, then Fireball -> Meteor -> Pyro, which would get me a relative nice ignite. If anymore Pyro procs within that, all the more better.

It should be easier to get pyro chains with the Fire buffs.

Re: [Advanced][ilvl 540-582] Visual Frost Guide 5.4

The macro does work just fine, though. Also, I don't understand why some people prefer to use alter time when there's 6 secs left of icy veins, instead of just at the start. You still extend the duration by 6 seconds, no matter what. So, I usually use that macro whenever Tempus Repit procs. Mirror ...

Re: [Advanced][ilvl 540-582] Visual Frost Guide 5.4

Hi. Thanks for your previous responses. I now have a question regarding refreshing living bomb. If Tempus Repit/KTT/PBoI procs, is it should you refresh living bomb or let it tick out? I'm guessing always refresh when Tempus Repit procs, but what about the other two? Also, I've heard people saying ...
