Infraction: Multiple forum rule violations

Message to User:

You have violated multiple forums rules in your post. Specifically, you violated rules 6, 7 and 9. Please go and re-read the forum rules: http://elitistjerks.com/f75/a54-foru...dated_7_14_10/ before posting again.

The thing that makes your post particularly egregious is that there was a nearly identical post and replies that answered that post on the same page, which makes me wonder if you even read through any of the thread before posting your question.

Finally, it should be noted that EJ class mechanics forums are a place for in depth discussions of the class mechanics, especially end game class mechanics. They are not a Q&A forums for asking how to play a spec outside of the explicitly designated threads. Hopefully this reminder and your rereading of the forum rules will result in better and infraction free participation from you in the future. Regards,

Hey everyone, Im new to the game (3 months playing time not days :p) and all i can say is i throughly enjoy it. I feel like I have a good grasp on my Arcane Mage but I want to take it to the next level and be as good as possible. I recently checked out the simcraft application and all i can say is wow! I think that it will help me out a lot but from what I saw in it and what you all have discussed i have some questions.

My character- Kinetiic @ Hakkar - Game - World of Warcraft

Currently for the different phases of attacks ill switch up what i do just like everyone here. For bosses i do:
Arcane blast x 4
Pop a FO,
Mana gem,
Pop AP
then spam ab till i need to evocate then ill do a hold mana phase till ap comes off cd. Durring the phase of spamming ab ill usually pop a trinket to increase spell power. I havent found an ideal time to pop mirror image.

I have been reading about the soft haste cap being around 1748 or so? If thats the case then i believe i am way over. My Haste in sim craft was stating that I was at 0.2653. Would anyone be able to assist me in optimizing my setup and give me some advise?

I am Hit capped.

What benefit do i gain from mastery?

How do i calculate my haste other then simcraft?

What macro is the best for AP+ Mana Gem +MWC? ^^

Thanks!
