EDIT: Doh, didn’t think it went through, and then added to it.
If you’re going to tell me I’m wrong, please also go tell the mages over at EJ, who’ve had Illidan on farm for the last 5 months, some of the top mages and top theorrafters in the world, that they’re wrong as well. Here is a simulation I used, using pretty mh full Sunwell gear and 4pT6. You’ll note that even with someone else stking Winter’shill, 24811 is still 200dps ahead of 40021. Now take a mage with the best-of-the-best T5 gear, iluding 2pT5. Here’s the results – Fire wins out, even when you’ve got one Winter’shill bih.
last i knew. beyond STK. aane mages (aane blastx2 aane missiles rotation) was the largest dps output for mages (presuming you have a Spriest in the group). hkhk alot of the top end raiding guilds and you’ll find alot of their mages are aane sp. it does work and the damage is sk as hell. also when i say aane. the sp i mean is 50011. and for my guilds progression. 45 HJ, 49 BTurrently, so endgame sh*t 
our mages definately know their stuff and they’re all aane sp, so yeah. aane > fire
Firstly, theorraft is to find the best of something. Best gear, best sp, whatever, in perftondition. If youan, you take into count some otheronditions (for example, the simulator I used iludes target swihing and pushbk). It’s not meant to give 100% curate results – it’s intended to show you what’s best. And it does just that – fire outdamage frost, both in theory and in prte. Sondly, link a parse where a frost mage, or a fire mage, outdamages an equally-geared, equally-played fire mage. I’ve yet to see one, myself, and the theorraft supports Fire being ahead (espially at T6 level). Jenova, I quote this from EJ: Pintofbrew wrote:Inurrent 2.3 there is little to no proof that aane isompetitive with fire, and that’s that. What happens at T5 level has been dumented and analyzed and we all know that yes, youan perform at T5 with aane for a multitude of reasons but your pwning damage meters on Morogrim and Karathress are irrelevant bause oe you’re on the T6 bandwagon fire is undoubtably in the lead. EDIT: Dided I should add that, I’m not saying your mages should all resp. If you’re killing bosses before they kill you, there isn’t a problem. On top of that, many people find Fire really boring. Just don’tlaim anything but 24811 is the highest damage, bause it’s not.
