What is your Spell Rotation ?
the fact that im fire/arcane both specs pve i will make a report for my fire and arcane rotation aswell
fire:Cast Pyroblast! whenever Hot Streak is up.
Cast Flame Orb whenever it is off cooldown.
Apply/refresh Living Bomb (always leave it explode before refreshing).
Apply/refresh Critical Mass with Scorch.
Cast Fireball.This is the single target rotation but the aoe rotation is not that much difrend its all bases at impact which when used at the right time its the most powerfull aoe in the game.

arcane rotation:The rotation of an Arcane Mage is an alternation of two phases:

Burn Phase
cast Arcane Power and use available DPS cooldowns (Mana Gem, on-use trinkets, etc.);
cast Arcane Blast until you have 30% mana left;
use Evocation to get back at full mana (Preservation Phase starts);
Preservation Phase
stay close to 100% mana by alternating casts of Arcane Blast (between 2 and 4, depending on your gear) and casts of Arcane Missiles (when it procs) or Arcane Blast;
when the cooldown on Evocation is almost over, start a new Burn Phase.
Also, remember to always casts Flame Orb on cooldown (unless you are in the middle of a Burn Phase, in which case you should wait until the Burn Phase is over).this is an exceletnt damage rotation for singel target

Hello and thank you for applying to Cerebral,

Since you logged out in Arcane gear and reforges that's really all I can comment on at the moment. However the only thing I would really change is reforging out of some of the Haste and putting it into Crit. The general consensus among the Mage community is that once you get past the soft haste cap of (1268 + 500 from your 4pc) you should be going into Mastery then into Crit.

Take a quick look at this: http://wowreforge.com/EU/Kazzak/Lokash?template=Hit=1742+,Haste=1268+,Crit:1.5264,Haste:2,Hit:3.7385,Mastery:1.8376&reforge=053404403534--0434053534------0540

It gets you exactly to the Haste and Hit cap, then it puts points into Mastery and Crit. Other than that there isn't really anything more I can comment on gear wise.

In terms of your Fire spec, I question why you have put points into Arcane Concentration rather than Imp Flamestrike. I could understand this if you had also not taken other AoE talens in the fire tree such as Pyromaniac etc. But really you shouldn't be having mana problems on any fight in Dragon Soul other than Madness of Deathwing, in which you should be using Imp Flamestrike anyway.

Looking at the World of Logs that you linked your damage seems a little low on some encounters, I can understand maybe Yor'saj as there are fewer adds on 10m, however fights such as Ultraxion you should be doing more than 27.5k.

We'll try and get back to you ASAP with a definitive answer, GL.

both of my arcane/fire reforges are based at wow reforge site..optimized option...secondly i put 2 talents points at arcane tree because i want to sequre my mana i did it from my own choises so i didnt based on any forum..( i will look for it) and thirdly my damage may be quite low on ultraxion heroic beacuse..that time i was always had fading light on me..as a result i lost many combustions ( fire spec dps cooldown) and some oof pyroprocs..i know it may sound sily.plus im used to use blastweave.or dragon's breath thats why i got pyromaniac..arcane concetration helped me a lot..

i believe the 2 points may be optinional, the truth is that you will benefit more from them in improved flamestrike in most of the DS boss fights as it is needed aoe on most of em... as for the ultraxion fight "excuse", every1 has to deal with fading light, and ppl still deal with it pretty good and pull nice dps. so i pretty much see it as an excuse... its all about how good you handle some mechanic on certain boss fight...

GL, Magúz

As a Mage you can't just use WoW Reforge out of the box, you have to set certain haste cap or it will give bad results.

If you are running out of mana in anything else other than Deathwing you are doing something seriously wrong.

I've just been looking back at out world of logs from about 2 months ago where I probarbly had similar gear to you, on our 1st Ultraxion kill I had 6 fading lights which is more than you and still managed to do 39k DPS. In reality the fading lights do impact your DPS but not by 10k.

lokash · Guest

yes i aggre with 100% this is not an exuse ofc im just tell you what was happen at that specific time

lokash · Guest
