Original Post:
What do you guys think of the 0/53/18 ffb spec. I'm specced that right now and it seems VERY reliant on having crit but still seems like it would be the mage dps spec of choice.
There are a few discrepancies that I have noticed so far with this spec that I would like to see some feedback on.
1. does Ice Shards (+100% frost critical dmg) and Burnout (+50% fire critical dmg and +5% mana cost to criticals) stack?
-If not then are we just forcing ourselves to pay 5% more mana for criticals or does the talent work on an "all or nothing" basis where if it doesn't take the +50% dmg then it ignores the 5% more mana?
2. does Firepower (+10% dmg done from fire spells) and Piercing Ice (+6% dmg to frost spell) stack?
-Of course for a mob that changes vulnerabilities (slimes beginning Death Knight wing of naxxramas) it would be useful, but on a mob such as patchwerk where its just a stand and nuke type fight will they stack or just take the firepower since it has a greater effect?
Also I checked Manly's spec (EJ mage, made the dps excel spreadsheet) had only 2/3 points in Ice Shards. Is there some mechanic we are missing here?
