I viewed it as a variant of Talking Is A Free Action (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TalkingIsAFreeAction). It's at least plausible that a sneak attack by the Twilights could stun them...

Very exciting change, a far better implementation of the idea than before. Youtube video of the (quite flashy) animation here...

Just to add to the other side of the argument: FB/FFB/Arcane all require dealing with a certain level of complexity to get the most out of the spec, but there's nothing preventing a beginner mage...

It's just gear. If you look at the mage comparison (http://wowwebstats.com/vk6mvpcpaljl3?s=460135-499124&c=mag) you can see she's casting the same amount of bolts as the other two mages but with...

You should use it with a +spellpower trinket and molten fury as a priority, since the trinket and percentage increase will benefit from your crit modifiers. (Using it with only a haste trinket, IV or...

I'm not sure what you're arguing against. FFB was shown to double dip against CoE because when CoE was up, it got a 20% damage increase instead of the 10% it should have had. It was behaving the same...

I'd worry more about what kind of people they have testing the other classes if their mage testers are doing twice as good as them. The mage guys must be really good!

The higher dps figure for fireball assumes Scorch is constantly up on the target and you don't have to refresh it yourself. Obviously, if you do have to maintain it it's a slight dps loss.

Scryer's Bloodgem is an obvious upgrade to your current trinkets (you're even revered already!), and the spellstrike set will give you another 38 at the loss of some stam/int you don't really...

That's how I read it too, since there's no duration or cooldown like IV or combustion either. Looks like something you would spec into once your regen was high enough.

I like the group synergies they're building on, especially with moonkins, so I'm really hoping they pull out a few mage ones to give us a reason to have our group spots. I'd take a rogue-like bump up...

Really really basic example: 100 fireballs at 1 damage each per 3 seconds gives 100 damage in 300 seconds with no crit or haste. Add 1% crit and you get 101.1 damage in 300 seconds, or instead add 1%...

Arcane is viable at Tier 5 because of 2pc T5. I don't think there's an argument against using arcane for this level, as I've seen good results from mages in my guild using it at the same...

Thanks for the reply. You're right, she has a few crit gems and gear, including Hydross robe and (the guild's second) Belt of Blasting, neither of which I would say is ideal for affliction. I'll see...

The mana efficiency is also probably coming from Arcane Meditation rather than MoE. And come on, this is just adding and multiplying, it's hardly advanced calculus. A bit of rigor is all you need.
