I can update the first page, but much of the content has become opinion, with some really good explanation of why people prefer certain items.

Best Non-Raid Mage Gear

Not all mages get to raid. Alt toons or non-raid members still want to max their dps so they can be ready to be 'called up' and join a raid without being too far behind in gear.

The purpose of this...

Wait...

...unless I'm missing something, IV would give about 2 extra Fireballs every 3 minutes.

Is that DPS increase really worth giving up Clearcasting, even with the new Mana Gems?

Or, do we do...

Sorry if that's the way it came across. I'm of the school of thought that trash doesn't really matter. But the whole 'scorch the tail' theory which someone else brought up didn't really seem to...

Has anyone modeled out the 'scorch the tail' theory?

I understand the basic benefits of: 1. reducing the chance that your fireball will land on a dead target, and 2. using a spell less subject to...

dumb question about spirit

Does Spirit affect dmg? I've noticed that with a spirit buff on or off my dmg on my Char screen is changing.

So I went into Vontre's Spreadsheet and tested out adding 1 spi to see how it impacted...

Estimated Dmg from Ignite

Are there any mods that display, in real-time combat, the estimated damage from your Ignites?

For example, I crit for 1000 and a little bar with 400 appears, maybe with a countdown-timer, as the dmg...

Rolling Ignites post 2.1?

From what I'm reading, a player's own Ignites will roll/stack.

Can that be accounted for in your spreadsheet? That seems like a serious piece of work to include that, but would make a big...

I love this spreadsheet

I have it up all the time. I play with different builds, gear upgrades, etc.

One thing that I'd love to see is the ability to theorycraft...

I would echo Lok's question about AB in a 40/0/21 build.

It would be situational - burst dmg without regards to Mana probably would get more ABs in the rotation.

But for long tank-and-spank bosses...
