Fire Mage buff request

Hello my old friends at Blizzard.

Pyroblast is feeling a little weak. Can we get a bit of juice in it so were incentivized to use it for single target DPS and have less reason to spam aoe.

Fire relying on the talents Flame Patch, Incendiary Eruptions and Living bomb in conjunction with Flamestrike + World in flames is really bad design.

When you actually switch to a single target oriented spec and build and use pyroblast its extremely undewhelming.

I spoke to Blizzard. They said the best they can do is buff Aimed Shot and Rapid Fire for another 10%. Its to respect your time, quick games.

We joke but it sounds like something Blizz would do.

Hunters will prob need another 20% to aim/rapid to survive the warriors hitting for 462k mortal strikes on them.

By survive I mean kill them before the warr gets ahold of them.

Luke sent me this gem of him crit hitting a hunter.

I imagine that was a very long game to accumulate that much pyroblast/ignite damage.

Full mastery feels like such a meme sometimes. Was he even polying or just mana bar dampening win con and pveing all game?

just pveing mostly

guy plays with the same rdruid + whatever spec enables him to just not interact with the game outside of blinking backwards and doing 200k dps with a dot (last season outlaw this season demo)

Kinda a gross playstyle.

Won’t ever change but I do miss fire being more durable and looking for setups on combust and doing serenity level damage. Was more interactive.

Frost has 2 blocks, permaslows, frostbite and big burst with ray/frost bomb
Arcane has insane mobility perma spellsteal and livelord potential with great sustained and burst.

Fire should really be high sustain and high burst spec due to lacking the defensives and utility frost/arcane have.

I think glass/flame should both get pruned and shift some more damage into direct damage/combust and a little less on ignite while leaving it ignite focused still

shouldve lined it smh

I’m playing single target mastery fire and absolutely cranking everyone it’s disgusting. Ignite doing 100k dps. Might be the most broken spec in the game atm for how consistent it is. I’m not particularly good at my mage either

They just did it

Yeah, I am kinda sad that fire isnt exactly what it was before.

You are glass, but you aren’t absolutely smoking people like you used to and it sucks being with so little defensive and little hp and meh damage compared to the tradeoff (outside of the FS/LB spam build with lucky opponents)

Being able to get high ignite damage for sustain and higher burst damage would be nice.

Based beyond belief

well well well look who came crawling back to retail after warrior gets buffed

Does it need an 800% buff like living bomb?

Blizzard isn’t going to be happy until the Living Bomb damage modifier is higher than the US inflation rates.

I actually resubbed for cata and the mop remix lol. Can’t be bothered with retail, I’ll get the elite color for the transmog and check out. Maybe the m+ mount
