It made me worse.

After rereading last post, I found myself asking why I wouldn't get 5/5 tier soon, before I remembered that I meant Heroic Gear upgrade level. And getting from 4/5 to 5/5 implies using a Mythic stone thing, which I probably won't get soon. So, this is a reminder for myself in the future what I meant.

A funny thing happened with last post, because of the silly names the frost mages gave to their rotations, the post got flagged for NSFW, or NSF-younger people. This seems to be an automatic process, because the flag was quickly removed after I re-submitted it, and some real person had a look at it. Not that different from WoW I suppose, although I read stories that it takes a little bit longer before some real person looks at it in WoW.

Wednesday : Sim day // The vault gives epic trinket.


After last week, I made some changes on how to Frost (single target). Mostly by prioritizing Flurry a lot. So my mind now basically looks at the following things:

* After Frostbolt-Flurry-Ice Lance, if I have a Brain Freeze proc (so my flurry button lights up) -> cast another Ice lance into FB-Flurry.

* After Frostbolt-Flurry-Ice Lance, if I have a Frost of Fingers proc (so my Ice Lance button lights up) -> cast Ice Lance into FB-Flurry. [this is I guess not right, but it seems with all the movement more wisely, also, on target dummy, it actually is higher dps for me as just ignoring FoF, for ME that is].

* After Frostbolt-Flurry-Ice Lance, if no button lights up, Frostbolt into FB-Flurry.

* When spamming Frostbolt between Flurry-CD, use an Ice lance before the buff falls of. 3 seconds before end buff if no FoFx2 , earlier if FoFx2, about 5 seconds.

* Look closely at the CD of Time-Warp, because of the talent that lets me use it more.... yeah, that is a new one, hadn't really thought about that one... oops again. I made sure that CD is more upfront for me.


Weak Aura's for Frost Mage


Now looking at that picture, there is one WA that I don't need anymore in 10.1.5, the Rune of Power one. And I am happy that it ill be gone, it made me a bad raider. The bloody thing gives such a high buff that I needed to be close, and that sometimes conflict with where I should be. So that's where my mind goes into what to do, stay here, take a tick of extra damage, should I help soak... et cetera. Being ankered to a spot, even with a 8 yard leash, is not a good thing, and it made me a worse raider. Glad it will be gone.
