I understand it needed a nerf from last patch, but now it is so bad everyone is frost or arcane.
I don’t like the playstyle of frost or arcane so I try to stick with fire, but it feels so miserable to play PvP specially against melee cleaves, it is unplayable. I’m just getting one shot the whole game and it is so hard to do damage now after the nerfs.
At least remove glass cannon talent and buff damage of something.

Hang in there friend
I played with a fire mage in 3s and he like never died at all i think u are just kiting incorrectly.
Of course there is a lot to improve in my gameplay, but that is an overal feeling of playing mage, specially fire. Is not easy to kite and do damage at the same time specially against melees that have toons of mobility and CC
yeah mage is very unforgiving to play if u are making mistakes. Death knights and hunters destroy fire mages.
But the other melee shouldnt be an issue if you kite correctly
Demon hunters, monks DK, sometimes warriors when theyre good. Too much mobility it is almost unkitable. Rets are ranged nowdays too so they can just kill you from far since they do phisical damage and mage wear cloth, almost a holy hunter lol
2 blinks displacement alter time knockback db
maybe go void elf for another port.
warrior = 2 charges, 2 heroic leaps, low cd ranged stun, perma slow
dh = infinit cross map flying, infinit AOE damage and low CD stuns.
DKs = multiple grips, stuns, silence, perma slow, ranged damage
monks = infinit rolls, high damage
Rets/hunters = unkitable ranged high damage
all of this and with an easy damage rotation.
Just pointing out that even though mage has high mobility, the other classes have a way to keep up, but it is hard to do damage as mage.
Fire mage only do damage on combustion, out of that is just doing nothing and try to survive until it resets
Idk I do like 100-150k DPS if someone makes the mistake of ignoring me.
Problem I feel fire mostly has atm is just damage issues. I do enormous damage anyone whose played with or against me will tell you I can explode meters consistently on a crazy level.
Issue is its not spikey or anything its just a fire hose of consistent damage with high ignite. Its very healable until high dampen without MS. Maybe I’m asking too much but I’d rather have the ignite do 100% of its damage over 4 seconds like it used to with Controlled burn honor talent as opposed to the 9 seconds now.
With how spread out our damage is its very easy to manage unlike burst casters that just whack you out of nowhere. Before asking for any tuning changes I’d like a change like that and see how it plays out first.
The only changes fire could really use are this.
Fireball base cast time lower from 2.2 to like 1.6 or 1.7.
Ignite deals its damage over 4 seconds instead of 9.
Living Bomb baseline with a lower cd.
knock
blink
displacement.
root them and they are afk. Sheep or ring the dispel
mage = infinite blinks
lol
yeah do all of that with another melee on you. Once you are out of CDs then what? Get stuned without trinked or block then what?
your healer presses a cooldown on you.
from what Ive seen healers also have a hard time to keep a fire mage alive. 700k HP sounds like a joke
If you don’t play glass canon you do even less damage
if they dont kite
ok man 
fire mage that doesnt kite :

Fire mage that will rotate through his alter blinks displacement knockbacks well timed roots and dbs while keeping everything on sheep dr:

I love healing fire mages on hpal. You’re one of the only healers who can give them the gaps they need.
Ok try to get close to your main mmr as a mage. Then try with any other melee then come back here and say what is harder.
I started playing ret and in one season I was able to be on the same mmr as my main mage due to skill cap being not even close.
obviously mage is harder lol
Being hard doesnt mean it is bad and being easy doesnt mean it is good.
A blaster is way easier to use than a lightsaber…a noob with a blaster will destroy a noob with a lightsaber…but someone that has mastered the lightsaber will destroy anyone with a blaster.
