I have to wonder if with the sweeping changes planned for Cataclysm will Frost be left pretty much untouched until then? I think perhaps changes to something simple like the damage done by frostbolt...

I'd prefer to see the tree receive some buffs through means other than LB. The spell is already very powerful and I don't see the need to put more focus on it.

If I were going to level another mage I would probably do it as frost, but the ability to put Living Bomb on multiple targets adds a whole new variable to the equation. Three or four LBs going off...

Could also have been a LB explosion crit between the HS pyro and the next crit fireball. I see this a lot.

What I don't understand is how they decided the best way to buff mage DPS was through Living Bomb. Don't get me wrong, it's a neat spell that I like a lot, but it was already very good. There are...

I just did some extensive testing and Hot Streak appears to be functioning exactly as it did in 3.1.

Understood, but my point was if you gear for max hit cap (which isn't hard) you can avoid Precision and get some utility talents that are useful in several fights.

The difference valuation in crit and haste for both Fireball and FFB is pretty small so the sets will likely look pretty similar. One other thing to keep in mind is you don't have to take Precision...

Armory is acting odd so I couldn't fully inspect you, but it looks like you have pretty decent gear, except your a bit low on hit. You are at 222 and the minimum cap for FFB is 263 with both a Draeni...

The point may be moot anyway. Just looked at the warlock discussions and it seems affliction is their top spec again so they will be applying the debuff and we won't have to cast scorch at all.

Yeah, I think the long and short of it is you might increase your personal DPS slightly by only using 3-4 scorches initially, but the opportunity cost of every caster in your raid not having that...

I think the intent of the question was should you only cast 2 scorches up front then let the debuff continue to stack as you refresh, thus not getting to the full 5 stack until about a minute and a...

This could potentially be a huge issue in PVP. I'd just cast Evo then Ice Block until I got through the 8s then let my health/mana be restored. On any PVE encounter where I might randomly be...

Considering how long the PTR has been up plus the recent comments from GC I would call it wishful thinking, not benefit of the doubt. If there are more changes they will likely be small and...

At 550 spirit it's actually less than 0.5% crit from the talent.

This is a good idea. If my napkin math is right it would be a buff over the current PTR version up until you reach 611 spirit, which seems pretty reasonable to me.

Divine Spirit is a base ability for priests now so you will always have it in raid. And just be glad you are not undead wearing pants. I'm going to have to look at my bony knees for a whole patch.

I was thinking the same thing for arcane itemization. The thing is some of those spirit pieces will probably still wind up being BIS since the pieces with three green stats tend to have hit on them,...

Anyone else feel like we're regressing here? The Molten Armor change is a nerf in every single scenario except a raid. Spirit still does nothing worthwhile. The amount of crit it gives will not be...

I would be happy to help as any spec. I've been playing Torment Fireball spec for the past several weeks so it's the one I'm currently most practiced with but I can regear/regem for any build.

Giving us some benefit on base spirit only totally goes against the idea of making mages want spirit on their gear. If anything they should ignore base spirit and give us some benefit for the bonus...

Well they did something like this for feral druids so they could use maces and such. They've done some other things recently that I didn't think they'd ever do, so we'll see.
