Heard from a friend that played wotlk for years on private that FFB is bis till you get 6,1 gs or 50% crit,what do you think?
@christophscholz235511 ай бұрын
While you might do very few hundred more dps in FFB, you are griefing your raid by not being able to use Focus Magic on another raid member. This results in a raid dps loss, you are actually griefing. Additionally you have so much access to Hit gear since togc that there is no reason for you to play FFB over TTW.
@DesertRat2222511 ай бұрын
With raid buffs, im sitting well above 50% crit at 5.4k gs in ToC gear going into phase 4. You shouldnt need 6.1k to achieve 50% crit
@burntfish12311 ай бұрын
In ulduar/phase2 they were about equal, with ffb being a lot better in a couple of fights (hodir, vezax) but not providing FM. By ToC/phase3 the standard TTW build is better by a bit plus can give FM. 50 crit raid buffed is easily obtainable as of phase 2 gear and crit is important but haste is just as if not more important
@Crateria11 ай бұрын
what's their evidence/source for that being better? Because they played on private server? I show in my p4 bis video comparisons of the specs using the best sim to date and configs that ppl can test themselves to back it up. FFB is not the play for a number of reasons I spell out there.

For Proffessor on NH mode you can actuall go invis prior to the stun and it will not stun you aswell. The same applies for rogues, who use vanish. You can apparently vanish 1-2s before the stun goes out and don't need to time it perfectly.

Generally speaking when it comes to vanishing/smelding/invising effects you just need to be inside of stealth for these effects to not hit you. So yeah, the timing is quite generous. The only iffy thing is that on the fights where you typically ARE able to use vanish/smeld/invis to dodge these mechanics you also take periodic aura damage from the boss. Because of that you generally do want to time it as perfectly as you can. For Sindy's Frost Beacon timing for example you either just want a weakaura that tracks the debuff and shows decimal numbers which lets you use invis the moment the Frost Beacon debuff ticks down to 2.9 seconds, or when looking at the Blizzard debuff itself you just want to use it the moment your debuff ticks down to 2 seconds. Obviously don't try to invis sindy tomb in p3 yet since with current gear the raid needs your tomb to reset stacks. But later on in the tier you can easily invis it, and even want to do so, as people start using the zerg strat in p3.

I really don't understand the Saurfang / Blood Beasts Living Bomb thing. I'm hearing to put LB on Saurfang when LB explodes on adds, then delay by a cast or 2 so then LB can explode when they spawn. This whole sentence doesn't even make sense. You put LB on Saurfang when the timer for Blood Beasts is like 10-11 seconds, then Pyro the adds when they spawn and kill them, then do LB again on Saurfang. Or you do LB on Saurfang after you get the hot streak proc from Blood Beasts-timed LB? Someone explain please.

Hey @crateria, i have a question to the start of the bossfights. I pre pot wild magic and cast fireball (2 seconds bevor pull). Than Living Bomb followed by Mirror Images after that Kitchensink Macro with Berzerk (Troll) and all CD´s. I searched your Kitchensink Macro but I don´t find for FFB just for Arcane. Did you use Mirror Image inside the Kitchensink Macro, i think it doesn´t work well because of the Global CD? Your Mage video´s are the best. Wish for separate Boss videos for ICC in depth where you explain exactly what to do like the Ulduar Tips and Rankings guide. Greetz
@Crateria9 ай бұрын
For opener you ideally want to do it like this. Case 1 - Precasting is possible (be 35+ yds away from boss): 1) 4.5s before pull, use MI. 2) Immediately after, prepot and precast fireball. 3) Fireball w/ CDs. 4) Cast LB. The reason for 2 fireballs is that your 1st one should be in the air while pull timer is still going (LB would early pull). Goal is to have 1st fireball hit boss at 0s left on timer. Case 2 - Precasting is not possible: 1) 1.5s prepull, use MI. 2) Use potion. 3) Cast scorch (if assigned). 4) Cast LB. 5) Cast fireball w/ CDs. Also I only used kitchensink macro with Arcane, because Arcane used sappers to trigger Incanter's Absorption. I would also take the mana gem use out of your CDs macro as that was only included in there because of T7 set bonus.

@Crateria10 ай бұрын
You only need to use the HS proc if its possible that it will be overwritten. I recommend tracking heating up with Fojji mage weakaura pack to know whether you have a crit banked. In general tho, its safer to send the HS proc and not sit on it if you aren't able to play without it being overwritten.
@Crateria10 ай бұрын
for 4pc, in general, I recommend pre popping MI before combat starts
@Crateria10 ай бұрын
Always check my stream. I have nightbot commands in my title and discord that answer many of these questions, such as !tier10 which is "With T10 2pc, you want as many casts out of the proc as possible, thus you only want to use HS if your next cast would be without the haste proc, OR if the HS is in jeopardy of being lost/overwritten. For T10 4pc, standard CD min/maxing still applies, i.e. maximize your uses of MI, but still try and stack buffs where you can. If lust is at the beginning of a fight, still pre-pop MI over using MI with execute. However if 4 min fight with lust in middle, then use MI at start and then end of fight."

I think you have to consider a lot of the conditions, such as in 10man your more likely to get Unchained Magic on Sindragosa, or bone spike on Marrowgar, then you would in a 25. You’ll probably find yourself using defensive CDs more too, and the overall raid dps will be lower, causing fights to take longer and your dps to drop as time passes, causing a lower pass. Sometimes I hit 90s, but from our Sindragosa and Blood Queen last night I was in the 30s because I’m focusing on not wiping the raid over maximum dps.
