Gave up playing my ret because I dont need anymore broken keyboards. So its time to reroll
After messing around with mage for a few days I figured the best rotation is something like this. Fish a proc to get hot streak. Meteor or Reaping Flame+combust+fireblast->pyroblast->fireblast->pyroblast->fireblast->pyroblast. Is this the ideal rotation when I burst?
Also, as well, do I at any point use living bomb? Feel like’s its useless and the only time I use it is when im not or we cant set up for a bit because of dr or positioning.
Lastly, was messing around with the HT(honor talents) earlier today. I have only play 2s so far and I found some of these HT goes well together
Temporal+ Flamecannon+ Gpie
Temp + firestarter+klepto
Temp + prismatic cloak+firestarter.
I know each HT depends on the comp im playing and facing but which one is bis by default? I have look up the top 3 mages and they were running different HT with the exception of temporal.
P.S., idk if whether firestarter +tinder are viable. It seems good facing against comps that I don’t have to run klepto but I havent seen any top mage run it.
most of the time you arent gonna be lucky enough to combust with a heating up proc. i think its super clunky to try to do that intentionally, but it is nice when it happens organically. So yeah most people just:
combust–>fireblast x2–>bracers–>pyro/fb spam
and meteor first is correct and sneaking a reap on the global before combust is fine to do as well.
As for honor talent things: I used to play tinder/firestarter a lot because it felt good and you could use it to time a fireball between you placing meteor and meteor doing damage. But i dont play it anymore. Its actually super subpar.
most people run firestarter/klepto/temp. And personally i run flamecannon/firestarter/temp a lot when you dont want klepto
And then Gpy builds are like: flamecannon/gpy/temp or firestarter/gpy/temp.
and obviously when you play conflict major you can run a 3rd talent over temp.
But in 2s yeah,you can definitely get away with running more matchup specific things like prismatic
Thanks for the clarity! Although I still think fire starter/tinder is underrated, but I only got 60 games in so I’m most likely wrong on that.
2 more questions Remixx. I still haven’t got an answer on living bomb. I rarely see any mage use it. Any tips on when to use it? I don’t find it useful but it is an ability that every mage pick from fire tree.
Also, what bracers are you talking about?? A new bracer from nylotha? Came back to retail a few weeks ago<=====
