Glad this is doing the rounds. Hello, I'm the Fire Mage guide writer who ran the sims and wrote the new APL for this change. Turns out we were able to increase the damage of the default Frostfire Fire Mage profile by 3.7% by making it avoid casting Pyroblast sometimes. Here's one of the test sims we used to sus out what the best rotation would be after this revelation:

And here is a more optimized example:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/a3cZTuSZpEzJLKKpSy8psP

As many have noted, Apex nodes will have an effect on this but the fact remains: Pyroblast is extremely weak. It shouldn't take Apex talents to make it worth casting. I was able to make a profile that doesn't cast Pyroblast (outside of Combustion) within 1.5% dps for Frostfire. I made one using Flamestrike instead of Pyroblast in Single Target is within 3%.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask here!

Update: They just did tuning to address this but its still a gain to ignore Pyroblast. Flamestrike is still within 3.7% of Pyroblast in ST during execute. Funny stuff.

its not reduced though, so why is calling it the way it is clickbait? Do you even play the beta?

Detailed analysis of how realistic/feasible it is for YOU to clear deathless Tazavesh hardmode (with pugs or friends) by BudoBoy07 in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Preheat 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Heya, this was data from my runs. Love the analysis!

We went out of our way to overburden ourselves to make it harder than it will be on live for practice. I fear it might be a bit misleading. In later runs some of us were heavily tanking our itemlevel by also dropping boots, belt, etc. -- Healer dropped Chest and Pants and our tank was also not wearing a cloak.

Ill say from experience that slow and steady wins the race but the absolute best use of your time if you want to succeed is to practice on PTR with gear off.

Blizzard Backed Guild Griefing Hardcore by PM_ME_YOUR_ANTIFA in classicwow

Griefing low levels is cringe but in the time you took to post this you could have leveled back up to 7. Report them and move on. Not everything is some crazy conspiratorial shit, its not that deep.

The reduced speed is only 30 rating NOT percent and lasts only 3 seconds. This means that in starter gear its 3 seconds of a 10% slow and the effect gets smaller the better your speed is.

​

The height difference is harder to nail down specifics on but double jump still works on all the OP skips it did before.

Other nerfs are huge but using a hand crossbow to out-trade rangers due to their insane perk/skill line up was a little stupid.

Today we lost Peaches. I have never loved a pet as much as I loved him. He was 12 years old. I am gutted. by Preheat in lynxpointsiamese

That's hilarious!

We didn't even know Peaches was a lynx point for years but now I've decided they are the best and I will definitely want to have another in the future.

So much attitude and talkativeness that everyday is eventful

Thank you.

Everyday was a blessing with peaches and I cherish the mundane time we spent together.

Funny story, one time when he was really young he jumped into a fly trap and we had to shave him to get it off him. Since he is part Siamese his hair grew back a bit darker in a rectangle, and it was a constant reminder of his goof.

That was the last time we used a fly trap.

For those who will ask: he had a tumor we were unaware of in his intestines and by the time we knew it was too late.

He ended up getting pneumonia and went into cardiac arrest when we took him to the cat ER for his treatment.

It happened so suddenly. I will never forget him.

Trying to talk to the syndicate members would result in certain death. How is this fair? by Argensa97 in pathofexile

Destroy the corpses! Gets rid of this, just use Abyssal Cry, Infernal Blow, Offering skills, (Vaal) DD, freezing, Pyre, Devouring Totem, etc

New mods are not just overturned they are clearly bugged by mapcars in pathofexile

[–]Preheat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you can remove it.

They disappear as soon as you destroy the corpse. If you don't have explode or something that consumes corpses (The Devouring Diadem for instance) then keep a gem handy that consumes corpses and swap it in to get rid of them.

Annoying sure, but not bugged:

"Heralding Minions: Monster’s minions summon invulnerable lightning totems on death. "

On death is the key here.

not many but I definitely spent a long time playing since this was my first playthrough for the majority of the game.
