Hey so I was taking a look at

Hey so I was taking a look at your app and have a few questions/suggestions for you.

1. First off dropping Molten Armor and using Frost Armor will give you a very noticable dps buff since the haste off Frost Armor is amazing and the crit from Molten is essentially worthless.

2. With your talent choices I see you have Ice Floes, Ice Barrier, and Cauterize. Ice Floes and Cauterize can be a playstyle preference but Blazing Speed and Greater Invis are really nice for frost so you might try messing around with them. With Ice Barrier though you should really start running Temporal Shield. Temporal Shield takes some getting used to since you can't just use it preemptively whenever it's up you have to pop it right before you take a big hit but if you time it right it can heal for a lot more and is off the GCD.

3. Can you give me an example of what your normal dps rotation is since I dont have any logs to go off of.

Besides that all your gear looks good for where you're at just make sure you read this guide as it's pretty much the go to place for frost at the moment, but ignore his crazy talk about going full haste and aim for the mixture build of 14242 haste then mastery.

Thanks for taking time to

Thanks for taking time to look at my app :)

1. I will definely be doing that, that was a thing that flew over my head.

2. Gonna start using Temporal Sheild, and timing that correcty. Gonna play around with Greater Invs, I can see how the damage reduction can help there, also remvoing some dots. I like Icy Floes cause it gives me a bit more movement.

3. My DPS rotation on a Boss is, with making sure I cast Evo for the 15% Spell buff before the pull... 1-Living Bomb, and refresh for as long as needed. 2-Frozen Orb, Icy Vains, Mirror Image. 3- Using FrostBolt as a main cast, FireFrost Bolt as soon as I get a proc, and Ice Lance as soon as i get a proc. 4- Evocation again then Frozen Orb as soon as it is back up, and then wait till Icy Vains is back up before I cast Frozen Orb again.

4. Open to critisim and advice. Love to learn my class and see my DPS imporve. Defininly gonna add that to my mage reading. Agree about the Mixture Build.

Now time to play my mage and make her the best!!!

Okay, ignoring the fact that

Okay, ignoring the fact that you play on a mac for the time being (people really play video games on macs?)
why are you running windowed mode in a 4:3 resolution like that and not using the full widescreen capabilities of your monitor? you could gain SOO much space by being able to move chat to the left of your action bars in a wide screen mode.

But in seriousness, good to see your app hope you get a lot out of the app process

I love Macs, I loved Macs

I love Macs, I loved Macs before I loved my kids and wife :). I find that Warcraft plays really well and without issues on it. Dont play much other the Warcraft. I used to play Starcraft prior. Got my Xbox One for all other games. I was running windowed mode just for browsing the web. When I'm playing in a raid I play full screen. Thanks Elapsed :)
