I'm pretty sure that depends entirely on how much you're actually moving. If you can adjust slightly and not lose too much downtime, I'm pretty sure you can just keep AB stacked. If you're running...

I think some folks were asking if Ice block worked on zon'ozz's void ball - it doesn't. When I tried last night, it went straight through me.

For what it's worth - I couldn't drop improved scorch in my PTR build on madness of DW encounter (25 normal mode). The fight is just very long and I'd imagine the additional haste in T13 will dry up...

It seems possible though that with the increased int on T13 that it will take much longer to burn down to the point where we evo since our mage armor ticks will be larger. So, theoretically, if we...

Couple tricks for the sinestra encounter:

1. if your arcane, don't forget to switch to molten armor when you have EotR since you don't need the mana regen of mage armor.
2. Throughout the fight you...

Noted... but unless I'm misinterpretting something, the "basic" sims are run without adds. And these are showing fire at the bottom.

Do you have all of the raid buffs checked off in rawr/simcraft? If your solo'ing a dummy it won't have all the debuffs you'd find in a full raid (and you won't have all the buffs).

Living bomb multiple adds / multiple mages

It didn't appear to me, that for 5 targets, speccing into firestarter was worth it. I may have eeked out a couple hundred more dps, but the mana usage was very noticable - and to be honest, using...

AOE Rotation / spec

Is it worth changing the FFB spec to include 2 points in firestarter for a higher AOE dps rotation?

I'm considering dropping points from either 1. frost channeling or 2. MoE or 3. playing with fire,...

As far as the last two go, I can typically get a draenei (sp?) in my group. Rawr seems to lean towards equipping the leash and the bindings. It's always had my non-tier piece as gothik's cowl.

Burning soul threat reduction is just for pyro's and scorches right... since frost channeling affects FFB?
