Fire mage PVP needs a revamp

Fire mage PVP needs a revamp the 5% buff was just a drop in a bucket. Fire mages should be a glass cannon We’re just a glass without the cannon right now outside of combust we don’t have nothing.

You all have this Community Council It’s supposed to help make the game play a lot better dose nobody on the Community play a fire mage in PvP. I stayed off the forums and kept my mouth shut and hoping and praying that y’all would see that fire mages need help.

Yep, my fire mage is collecting dust ATM. Tho I did bring him out last night to play with OUT RoP. Very fun, very little dps.

RoP being mobile would help a lot, I think. Rarely anymore do I get to stand in the circle for the entire duration. On bosses sure, but just about any where else especially PVP, no way.

The damage simply isn’t there. 5% buffs simply aren’t going to cut it.

I switched to my destro lock and it hits so much harder, and all I think is — wow, this is how a fire mage is supposed to feel like — big juicy crits and we even get our own Greater pyroblast with Soul Fire.

I honestly don’t know what planet the dev team lives on sometimes.

1.give fire mage 10% buff to all spells

2.Take out cauterize nobody in their right mind would ever take it

3.Mages can not sit still long they got keep moving land three consecutive scorch procs a pyroblast 15s cooldown

4.Liveing Bomb sucks right now make it part of combustion= Combust automatically applies Living Bomb.

  1. Change (From The Ashes) to (Glass Cannon) = land two consecutive fireballs you gain 2% haste for 10 seconds.

When I have time to set down and think about it, I can come up with a little bit more.

Bring back Greater Pyro with no cool down. Was alotbof fun in bgs. Especially with the talent where you stand still to increase range. Sit back and fill the field with great balls of death.

6.Take Alter Time back to MoP= 1% of base mana
Instant 3 min cooldown
Alter the fabric of time, causing the caster to return to their current location, health, mana, buffs, and debuffs, when cast a second time, or after 6 sec.

Effect negated if the caster dies within the 6 sec before the effect occurs or moves too far away.

7.Polymorph dose not heal your opponent.

8.The right side of the fire tree bottom roll needs to be reworked they all sucks.

  1. Glass Cannon, you punish us for taking a cool talent (Glass Cannon) is what a fire mage is all about If you get to us we rollover like toilet paper.

  2. I think all these things that I suggest would put us right on par with all the other Cloths.

Let me start off by saying I got nothing against Warlocks maybe just for the fact that I can’t beat them. But you’ve got to be kidding me They’re getting buffed again. They hit hard, and they are hard to kill It almost takes a group to kill them in BGs. I’m not asking for no class to get nuff, but fire mages just need to be bought up to where Warlocks are.

Fire mages are at the bottom of the barrel how does blizzard not see this. In my opinion, fire mages are fun to play, but right now, outside of combust, all we can do is Polymorph which right now not fun to play.

I don’t know what’s going on at blizzard, but I guess fire mages just gonna suck this whole expansion. Does anybody at blizzard or on the community council, not play fire mages It is absolutely trash in PVP.

why do you not take cauterize

Why take out cauterize it’s a OP mage ability for pvp you should learn the pvp side of mage before you spout out things that can really screw us over in pvp

I do not play arenas that much. So you’re making that case, you win the argument hands down. But let’s go over what cauterize does.

Cauterize-Fatal damage instead brings you to 35% health and then burns you for 28% of your maximum health over 6 sec.

While burning, movement slowing effects are suppressed and your movement speed is increased by 150%.

This effect cannot occur more than once every 5 min.

Fatal damage instead brings you to 35% health (WoW that a lot) lol But it even gets better burns you for 28% of your maximum health over 6 sec And then you have to use iceblock. One of your major cooldowns. It gets better, it’s a 5 minute cooldown Yes Cauterize is one of the best Talent in a game Please forgive me.

incredible.

Yes in every game environment cauterize is good.

A killing blow on you is prevented in PVE and PVP.

Would you prefer to die instead?

In BG cauterize is useless unless you run away and hide speed is increased by 150%, you are more likely to die. Very seldom do I want to run and hide.

I am nowhere near the best mage, but if I see a mage Cauterize, I get really happy. Now I have chased them down and the other mage kills me, but that’s fairly rare.

P.s If you do not use iceblock, or it’s on a cool down time, It’s all said and done you have 7% health wealth.

Fire is an absolute sleeper right now which is fantastic, damage is super good and since it’s essentially uninterrupted if you set up cc properly you can create absurd pressure. Keep practicing pipsqueaks.

Sleeper is great way to describe fire right now.

In the context of being under the radar with its actual potential, nothing more than a get good situation buddy.

LOL, been playing fire for years, get gud gud luk.
