EDIT - Apologies, I missed that someone had asked my same basic question with actual math.

While I've never wiped a raid with images -- I have heard of a boss doing some odd things in the past, such as making its way across the room to one-shot an image (which could wipe the raid on a number of fights, like Malygos if he breathes at the wrong time).

But just because I've heard of it happening (and not recently) doesn't justify removing its potential use. Mirror Images work perfectly fine with their fade mechanic in that regard. My comment that you quoted was in reference to a comment saying that if they survive for their full duration, their DPS is worth the global cooldown. But I don't use MI for DPS -- I'm quite sure many are the same way.

I would have pulled aggro every time on Sarth 3D if I hadn't of used MI. And it's certainly a fun ability for trash and AoE. It's not so buggy that you should feel you need to remove it from your bar. That's like saying you aren't going to use blink ever because it sometimes doesn't work.

I dunno about your images, but mine are naughty and like to wipe raids. It's happened to me a couple times. They pull a boss, they pull an add off a tank, they DPS things they shouldn't and boom, someone's biting my head off on vent for some buggy clones' actions I had no control over. And on the opposite end, I can't think of a time when having them was especially beneficial. I'm glad you've found uses for it, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had rotten luck with it. And as far as blink is concerned, one bugged blink might result in one dead mage, but not very likely a wiped raid. It's a personal weigh of cost vs. benefit, your mileage may vary

Can you give specific examples on when they've pulled aggro? I havent seen mirror images pull threat since the fixed the issue of them spawning with 133% of the mages threat.

There is absolutely zero reason you need imp blizzard in ulduar for anything. Frost trap, EB totem, frost nova, etc all work on those adds and they all die very fast.

The Improved Scorch and Shadow Mastery debuffs can be up at the same time. Has anyone tested if they stack or overlap?

No its just yet another majorly annoying bug with scorchio2, if thats what you mean. And yes on scorchio it shows the shadow debuff as stacking to 5, which of course makes no sense. If only it would at least properly track living bomb.

I've literally tunred off everything except improved scorch stacks with Scorchio 2. It is far too inconsistent with everything else to be worthwhile until it is fixed. It's a shame, because it seems that when it is working as intended, it will actually be close to a "must-have" for fire mages.

I am using classtimers. Does single target very well, I only wish that I could specify an option that prevented the bars from switching places depending on time left on debuff.

Try using "sort by Maximum time" or "sort alphabetically" (I'm not sure of the exact option name), this works well for me.

The problem that I'm finding right now is that the "hot streak" default sound seems to have been changed and is much harder to hear.

Hey gang, just wondering if anyone know how I can setup rawr to optimize my frost mage for pvp, mainly arena? The only thing I tried was optimizing for survability but for the options, Im not sure what to fill in. I know rawr is for pve, but I heard its possible to use for pvp too. ANy suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
