What is the most effecient use of Meteor and MI?

Unread postby Misaki Mon Feb 27, 2017 2:55 pm

I've been wondering what is the best use of the Meteor talent and MI.

When using Meteor is it best to delay my meteor to try and get a high amount of stacks of Pyretic Incantation? Also should I use meteor mid-combust when I have 5 stacks instead of before combust then combust while its coming down?

When using MI is it best to use combustion then use MI or the other way around?

Meteor: Don't delay it, PI is inherently random and can't be guaranteed. You want to cast Meteor, then Combust before it spawns - it snapshots your modifiers when it spawns, which is about a second before it lands. Don't waste a GCD casting it mid-Combust.

MI: For a long time I thought that MI snapshotted, so would Combust > MI. However, testing by the Mages in Discord revealed that that isn't the case and the Images will update dynamically, so feel free to MI > Combust.

Using all three spells, you would theoretically MI > Meteor > Combust for maximum DPS.

Thank you.
I have the waist and TW ring legendary and I've been simming to go all out haste until I get 10k haste (Around there is a soft cap where it goes from my best to worst stat), should I just ignore the sims and gear to get around 60-65% crit or should I stick with keeping my haste at 10k? I have 48% crit and 27% haste. Thanks
