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

Thanks so much for the guide, Dutchmagoz.

I have a question about the order of the burn phase. Why should we cast Arcane Power before Presence of Mind? It seems that with the global cooldown, we should cast PoM first, so that we don't have two GCDs during AP. I usually try to setup my own burn phase so that I can cast PoM, ABarr, and CU just as AP comes off of cooldown. That would seem to maximize the buff from the tier 21 buffs, and then maximize casting time during AP.

Edit: I just realized that PoM doesn't have a GCD. So I guess it can be cast simultaneously to the first AP AB.

Anyone knows the dmg by each race for arcane mage?

I updated the guide for level 120, and it also contains race sims now.

When Arcane Power comes back up during the Arcane Pressure "execute phase" , does that alter the rotation at all?

What about trinkets, is the darkmoon deck any good for arcane?

Updated the guide for the latest hotfixes. (Arcane pressure no longer scaling with arcane charges)

Where is the patch note for this hotfix, dont see it anywhere It still says it is scailing in the trait description.

You'd spam Arcane Explosion at 3+ targets due to Reverberation talent.

I'd still wouldn't use Arcane Explosion endlessly on number below 3 targets regardless if I had 3x Explosive Echo traits methinks...

I meant how many targets does it take to remove barrage from the rotation and just spam explosion, afaik you still barrage when you get to 4 charges on 3 targets.

I don't think any number of targets removes Barrage from the equation; your mana would drain too quickly to spam AE while evocate is on cd

I was thinking more like m+ parameters where you have the ability to drink and evocate more liberally, at what target number is it a dps gain to stop using barrage, ignoring mana.
