Malqallem

I tweaked my talents, mastered my macros, bought my best-in-slot and was all set for an epic Mage-off. Then he buggered off to another team. So let's pretend I totally wiped the floor with him and put that one to bed. As an aside, what are your feelings on Fire as a comparable raiding spec? I've heard it said if you can reforge your crit to about 30% you're better off going fire. Any truth to this one?

Weak Auras, eh? I'll have to investigate that one. I'm using Scorchio timer bars to keep an eye on bombs/procs (which are admittedly less responsive) but if WA can add a second or two of uptime then I'm all for it.

Just don't volunteer for any kind of moving around, ever! :)

This probably applies to all the fights, I'll try to keep an eye on it. Thanks guys.

Maybe he's just MEGA EFFICIENT. The only thing I can think of is if he's popping a glyphed Icy Veins twice as often as me, that's a pretty solid DPS increase. Vain, I'll try your suggestions tonight and see if they make a noticeable difference.

It's possible I was just unlucky that night, I can't recall it being unfair though.

Hello folks. This one's been bothering me for a few weeks and I'm at a loss to explain it, so I turn to you. Our regular 10-man raid team's had another Mage stand-in for the last few runs, which would ordinarily be no problem, but he's been outdoing me on the dps scales each time. Some facts: We're both of a similar gear ilvl, in fact I'm ever so slightly ahead. We both play Frost and use identical glyph/talent specs. We're both using the same rotation as recommended on Ice Veins. This is me: http://eu.battle.net...qallem/advanced And the log from the last run: http://www.worldoflo...su
