As far as I have heard its shifting to almost all mastery with a little Crit for the infinite burn, YouTuber Lycoan (Whos at 70% Mastery and 14.5% Crit) stated that you now need 68-70% Mastery for the burn but a 55% Mastery and 15% Crit should be good to start with. Here is his comments below.

"Yeah, if you had 40% mastery previously, you now need 68% (8% = 1/5th of 40%, + 20%) extra mastery to sustain the same rotation as you had previously. Try to slowly convert your stats to a 55% mastery and 15% crit amount. Get rid of all your vers and haste and put these into mastery/ crit. 55% should be breathable with Nighthold (early Jan) and/or lets hope you score the legendary kilt by then."

Here is the link to the vid he posted a week ago with a 15min dummy run getting at least a 300k dps:

Hey, yes it is! Some of the recent hotfixes followed by Blizzcon followed by new raid threw a bit of a spanner in my works, so to speak, but it will be worked in shortly!

How did he conduct the rest of his testing on other stats? Or did he just go with the Mastery build?

Is it possible to get the list kind of how fire has it? Its really nice to compare all the different trinkets.

That's the plan. It's harder to do for the lesser played specs as SimCraft is prone to misrepresenting the value of trinkets (a la Twisting Wind) but I'm just about finished with compiling data from practical testing to corroborate.

I imagine we'll have to wait for the guide update to get released before we know :p

Sorry to say but this guide feels really out date now. The legendary page isnt reflective of correct stats and the pants being called the best doesnt go with the flow of the stat change. With a decent mastery you can almost avoid barrage, this makes the bracers even more powerful.

I hope the soon* we got almost a month ago is taking more of this into account. I know arcane has to be a pain to SIM do to mastery moving the whole rotation around but I hope we see some glimpse of whats good before 1.5.

I've put another note in to Furty to see if we can get this updated ASAP. I'm not sure what happened between his above comments and the present day, but I'm hoping we can see an update to the guide in the very near future.

I know that it doesn't really help, but the only thing I can do is say sorry, unfortunately. The rest isn't really in my hands!

I'll do my best to ensure we do see an update soon.

Hello friends :) Gear page has been updated a bit to look more like our Fire guide (e.g. trinket list).

Hello,

I guess that patch 7.1.5 will change stats priority. Any idea how?

The http://www.wowdb.com/items/132413 (bracers) still state 10% instead of 25%.

Looks like that has been updated since your post, but thanks for pointing it out again and sorry for not getting back to you sooner! :)

That's a pretty tough question to answer. There is still a lot of tuning happening and there could be huge changes before it goes live. The only thing that I can assure you of is that the guide will be updated when the information is a bit more reliable! :)

What are the 2 best legendaries for mage on ST currently? Bracers and legs or bracers and ring?

Anyone else having problems with the Arcane Familiar buff staying on? Whenever I switch zones it just drops off. From Hall port to Dala, or flying from one zone to the other on taxi or just riding my horse on the ground. Sometimes even between zones in a dungeon.

I've noticed this as well, it might be to do with "pets" not following you through certain zone shifts.

It's really annoying and pretty much the main reason I don't use Arcane Familiar. If I can't trust it to be constantly online during a dungeon it's just a hassle. And it's a pity because it interacts directly with the artifact ability.

Do you use WeakAuras? It might be worth setting up a tracking WA that flashes when it is not summoned. https://wago.io/ probably has one that you can use.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
