460 iLevel PvP Gear

I was doing the deep six brawls and I ran into a 475 ilevel fire mage (~25 ilevels higher than me). He didn’t even cast 1 greater pyro. He exploded me with regular pyros and fire blasts. Geared PvEers are scary in PvP.

a mage that doesnt cast gpyros? damn never thought i would see the day

Yeah, it caught me completely off guard because BFA trained me to watch out for greater pyros.

So, when I didn’t see him casting any, I was like… whatevers.

A few seconds later, I’m dead.

If you ever face a 550k+ hp fire mage, watch out.

i could see that for 475 ilvl tbh. i have only seen 1 fire mage ever not cast greater pyro before and that was in a eots and he blew up my friend in just a few seconds not sure what ilvl the mage was but ye i could see it

Yeah that’s the messed up thing about fire. When they combust they don’t need gpie at all. Their burst without is insane and all instant.

They’re also a crit-based spec, so they tend to -suffer- in PvP.

Have fire mages been suffering in BFA PvP?

Kind of. Frost is a lot better in PvP in terms of moving through a fight without getting facerolled. Fire mage has issues keeping melees off it.
