    This needs to be emphasized more than anything. No one should assume a proc will be up for combustion, its a nice bonus but not required/expected for good dps. I get tired of of the constant complaining

    Just get your non-Alter Timed Combustion off without much fuss, but you should attempt to have at least one proc up for the Alter Times ones as they are, in fact, a large portion of your immediate damage.

    And by attempt you mean exactly what? We can't control anything about our procs anymore except for the pull where we usually have a few procs anyways. The only time you would wanna hold off to see if you can get a proc or two is if that's gonna be your last combustion & even then it's not allways the smartest decision.

    I recently got an LFR Cha-Ye, which leaves me with

    Wush 502
    Cha-Ye 502
    Talisman 522

    Not sure if the proc on either outweighs the higher ilevel of the Shado Pan Talisman for Frost

    Same here, i've been testing CHa'Ye for a few days and it's dope. Always procs at the strat so my opener is a lot stronger, SPA trinket was a pain in the ass.

    And 9k haste is a poor proc, as frost we already have lots of haste and having the SPA procs made you waste haste because most of the time you'll be GCD capped.

    Wush and Cha'Ye are always around 30% uptime, sometimes more, so. I'd say Wush + Cha'Ye

    Waiting for a couple of procs for my Alter Timed Combustion has served me well so far and seems to be a significant DPS increase over just getting it out of the way. :-)

    Might be the case sometimes but due to RPPM you might aswell just sit there for 20 seconds not getting anything wasting your time, if you wanna take the risk go ahead but it's never worth delaying your combustion more then a few seconds unless it's the last one you're gonna pop & the boss isn't gonna die in the next 30 seconds or so. This was even true for T14 when we had ICD trinkets who where pretty guaranteed to proc, you only wanted to wait around 5-6 seconds tops oterwise it would be more worth it to pop your cooldowns without them if my memory serves me right.

    Might as well cast combustion with your fireball ignite rolling.

    /sarcasm.

    It is true that it's not worth delaying for an extended amount of time, but I have noticed that I consistently get higher overall damage by making sure that my AT Combustions are as high as possible. That's at least how I've gotten my rank ones these past couple of tiers - stack the AT Combusts to the max while just getting the non-AT Combustions out of the way with little care. Perhaps only 2 Pyro crits. :-P

    Edit: Back on topic though, trinkets!

    On my alt mage I currently have:

    502 Wush, 502 LotC, 522 SPA
    (oh and the DMF trinket :P)

    I was wondering what I should use for Fire right now. Thoughts?

    Hi guys,

    I've got Cha-Ye N 2/2 (530ilvl) and Wush 535 (HM 0/2), do you guys know which one I should use with breath HM 2/2 ? I'm playing fire and I can upgrade Wush if it needs to be.

    But, to be honest, I really feel like I shouldn't switch Cha-Ye out for Wush, even upgraded.

    Thanks !

    It's a tough one, personally I'd say upgrade Wushoo's as it's HM and two 543 trinkets will give you strong uptimes. You'll lose some base crit but Wushoo's gives you like 1.7K hit @ 543 and the Intellect proc is insanely strong.

    okay, I didn't find this combo here so I'll ask :P
    502 hydra
    502 wush
    522 SPA
    489 LotC

    Which ones for fire?
