Arcane is the superior spec right now, also if you look here you can clearly see that

SampleOutputCaster - simulationcraft - Google Code

Arcane, Fire, and FFB are all "viable" but viable is a lot different from the best.

I know they are all viable. I'm trying to say that simulationcraft shows Fire and Arcane to be alot closer than what I can actualy produce in practice.

One question regarding this website. Looking at the scaling comparison at the bottom of that site, FFB scales even better with SP than FB does. That's quite the opposite from what I've been reading in various different Forums.

Is this Site including the higher crit multiplicator for FFB and this ways expects a higher scaling and is this correct as it says on the site or is FB scaling better simply because of the longer cast time?

Has anybody else seen rogues topping the meters? Not necessarily topping meters, but topping mages in general without going HAT after their SnD/HfB/Mut changes?

I had a rough night in Naxx25 last night, not breaking 5k dps on patchwerk, unbelievable =( but I think that the kill was a bit faster than what I am used to, so my burn phase lasted very little =(

Wow Web Stats

Mages are usually top5 in our guild prior to this week, this week a geared Surv hunter joined and completely dominated us, as well as some of the rogues who were combat. Anybody else fallen to the middle or bottom of their guild meters?

Hello guys i have a quick question i dont understand how [Gown of the Spell-Weaver] is better rated then...
[Heigan's Putrid Vestments] the only thing i can think of is for the +hit i also gemmed my Heigan's putrid vestments with [Mysterious Twilight Opal] and [Reckless Monarch Topaz] i also have +8stats on the chest, i am thinking of throwing +10 because i honestly think heigan's is better..idk though maybe i am missing something..can someone please explain why gown of the spell-weaver would be better? i am hit capped...as a arc mage already ...so i dont really need all that extra +hit thank you for your time and concern.

What were the lengths of your fights?

The sample output I throw up there is from fights of a little under 5min. Given the fight length and the gear setup, the Arcane Mage profiles are right on the edge of OOM. Shorter fights (or fights with pauses for regen -and- CD popping) benefit Arcane considerably....

Does anyone know if the mana regen gained from the Pyromaniac and Arcane Meditation talents stack?

Does spell rezistance lower frost nova chance to brake in pvp?

How does spell penetration work for frost nova in pvp?

That would probably explain it.
The fights were the last few in 25man nax.

Out of curiosity why are numbers always based around 5mins fights? The only fight I can recall that long would be something like Sath 3 drakes.

Maybe because the numbers, specs, rotations etc. are only important when you are fighting a boss for whom you are not greatly overpowered?
