Scorch and ISB buff are the same, so they don't stack. Thus if you have a warlock, not having the scorch talent + glyph frees up space for others.

I do believe best glyphs will turn out to be Molten...

The post above yours tells the tale of why it doesn't, and it has been said like 15 times in the last 5 pages. Reading them through before posting is in general a good idea.

Personally, I like that...

Brain Freeze gives you a free fireball, not anything else. If you want to do a real FFB spec, you have to go for fire with burnout really, if you ignore that just spec deep frost instead, you'll be...

Well obviously LB will be a better choice if the choice is to run and cast LB or just run. The question was probably more for the encounters where you are in position at the pull and your first cast...

Sorry I can't back it up with shiny numbers, but I did some tries today with various spells while farming CC reputation and it does seem to affect all spells. 30% crit rate normal + FoF with Shatter...

1/3 Imp Blizz will allow you full use of FoF with it. I have 1/3 specced right now and it works like a charm.

On that subject, Blizzard AOE dps is fairly over the top right now, it blows anything...

It's most likely due to PVP-reasons, since in PVP the only real drawback of the spell is lost dps-time and a possible lockout of arcane for X seconds when you get it interrupted. It's quite sad...

Yes, but you can't have a 7pt talent basically make you immune to pushback, that would just be silly. From how it was discussed above (I never tried speccing it and trying for real myself) in the...

Unless something was changed with TLC from the time I had it, it never scaled with spellpower. It did crit though, but apart from that I think it was just a flat X-Y damage with no scaling.

I don't think we can expect Living Bomb to stay as it currently is, because right now from my tests this morning this is the most overpowered spell in the arsenal, as long as you are within range. It...

It was reported a bit earlier in thread that it currently does not.



Hopefully they'll have checked over our armors and fixed them in some way so this is a nonissue. At least I still hope they fix...

In a 5/10-man, having that huge amount of control, free mp5 and survivability is worth even more, at least in my opinion. I would go as far as to say that the DPS aspect is mostly irrelevant in...

From what I read earlier (haven't tested myself), the haste is applied to the 2.5s, not the 5s. So it's basically like Improved Fireball/Frostbolt but as a shorttime buff.

This was adressed earlier, and yes, it is a permanent +30% crit for instants and channeled spells. However, still not that good.

1: I've always used that, or well a rotation going Flamestrike -> Blast Wave -> Dragons breath -> AE and so on. On all types of waves.
2: It shouldn't be, but early on...
