Fire Mage is absolute trash tier, bottom of the barrel for sure. Hell, maybe under the barrel. That 6% will bring us right in line with everyone else, am I right /s
Can we please get someone who actually plays the game and ooh maybe even plays Mage, to make these changes?

you just gotta play right brother I see fire mages topping charts in blitz 1900
Aug main upset we might almost beat them?
Jk no this is trash lol one hero spec is dead because Living Bomb was gonna be a thing (lol who could have guessed it might be an issue) and the other is still trash tier. Desperately seeking mid and yet will instead be dead weight. So annoying
I’ve been playing fire mage a bit in heroics, and 6% might honestly be perfect. Like, my dps is a bit on the low side but I’m remaining fairly competitive with other dpses and sometimes winning if I proc luckily.
I think they’re right to wait and see…
Yeah its actually a joke at this point. They’re so obsessed with this garbage living bomb / ignite playstyle and for some reason don’t realize that fire mages want pyroblasts that actually do damage. We have frost mage spamming ice lances for 700k but our Pyroblast hits for 300k max. If I want a DOT spec id play feral or aff lock. They arent going to fix it as long as they are so obsessed with this dumb living bomb / ignite playstyle that someone created who clearly doesnt play fire mage. Fury warrior passive heals faster than you can kill him with hot streak pyroblasts lmfao

My PB hits for less damage than a 2 to 3 charge arcane blast lol.
Raid dps ranking were released and no, fire mage isn’t ok nor is 6% enough.

So, I was running mythics with my Fire mage yesterday…
The HEALER was beating my dps between combustion windows. Like seriously… my dps was like, 125k-ish when I wasn’t in combustion. My warrior can do more than that just pressing one button over and over.
It’s really bizarre, too, since there’s all this flashy stuff happening. Meteors raining down, explosions, fireballs flying, ignite… and it all just kinda… doesn’t do much. Fire needs a complete from-the-bottom-up redesign. It should be able to do modest damage outside of cooldowns, and it just can’t right now.

Yes, outside combustion our Aoe is 10/10 really bad right now. Looks like in the 11.05 patch there buffing a flamestrike talent where Phoenix flames, buffs flamestrike crit& ctrit damage stacking with every hit. I will say the 6% buff will bring us up a bit. In normal and heroic raids fire is still viable.
This isn’t about pvp lol
I totally agree on that.
Ive watched a lot of youtubers and streamers on beta saying that fire mage rework was awesome and done with so much love. You cant imagine my anger and frustration when i see how is the spec right now.
But the worst part is that fixing fire mage is so damn easy… JUST GO AND PLAY A LITTLE OF CATA CLASSIC!!! Thats a freaking awesome spec!

nothing else matters lol pve is a computer
The highest fire mage in NA for BG Blitz is only 1730 rated.
Buff Pyro and make Lit Fuse Proc chance higher. They can start there for me personally.

PvP is a minigame based on ego.
and pve is for the simple minded
Feels like something might be wrong with ignite, I’m seeing ignite ticks outside of combustion that are lower than we used to have in actual 1.0, then during combustion the ignite is actually pumping. I have ignite ticks rolling past my combat text that are lik 2,300 damage, I don’t even know how that is even possible. There is nothing I can throw that would only produce ignite that small and nevermind that i’m chain casting multiple spells per global with fireblasts
