General Idea

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clipping Mind Flay shortly after the second tick to cast Mind Blast/DP/VT increases your damage output. Unintentional clips shortly before a tick decrease your damage output, including the third and final tick. MFClip's goal is to help you to learn when to cast while channeling Mind Flay and to ensure you are doing it right. As a side note, zero unintentional clips (to much idle time between tick and new cast) decrease your dps as well as regular unintentional clips do, playing somewhat aggressive helps your dps. Also, it is recommended to filter out Mind Flay with your combat text (if available) and use MFClip combat text output (if available for your combat text addon). If you are using [nochanneling] macros there is no need to use MFClip ([nochanneling] leads to less dps).

Installing a cast bar addon (like Quartz) with a customized cast bar skin that shows when Mind Flay ticks is strongly recommended. If you are using Quartz you should also try out Quartz_LatencyMF2.
