Fire mage finally feels like it’s competing well with other classes, but I think the one thing it’s lacking is execute ability. I don’t know if frost has one but it deals high dmg instantly with lances and has spikes if needed, and arcane can finish with clear casting missiles or the execute arcane barrage, but fire sometimes feels like the enemy is sitting at 10% and just can’t get the kill. Like just a talent on the tree maybe, that increases pyroblast damage by 30-50%, or pyroblast flares ignite damage when enemy is under 30% hp. Nothing too big, just something like that to be able to close the kill the times it’s harder for us whereas arcane can use a 5 charge barrage or warriors have execute etc.
blast wave and kill with fall dmg ez

Remember when execute was only for warriors?
And now mages think all their specs need it.
What a weird life.

Haha yeah that’s what I thought as soon as I wrote it, but I just mean to finish, when combust or any procs aren’t up or available, I find myself kinda just sitting there or spamming scorch while we fail to get that last 10% cuz I’m out of literally everything useful and then they recover and win

May just need to coordinate damage better with your team mate if you have damage and they don’t really it’s not gonna pan out usually. Idk the scenario you mean just saying.

short answer; no.
the solution to the dmg on everything being too high… to the overall arms race is not bigger guns.
we ALL need a bit less dmg, a bit more hp, fewer immunities and other such gimmicks

What is it with all these classes thinking they are entitled to abilities that have been a core of the warrior toolkit since vanilla. The homogenization of the game over time has made WoW more stale. It’s bad enough half the classes have an MS effect already.
You’re a mage; stick to your class identity. If you want execute make a war.
Tell you what. You can have execute, but wars get sheep. That sounds like a fair trade.
I for one would like to sign up for the bigger gun 
Don’t act like you’d even press it

Sure I would. Got plenty of buttons available to bind on my mouse.
Fire is a lot of pad damage not real pow pow damage.
We sure do look good on meters cleaving 2-3 people and ring of fire down though.
I do like 60k DPS entire match where there is demo/unholy pets around. All that ignite/ring of fire pad makes me look pretty OP.
Your not scaring anyone though with those 30-50k pyroblasts.
Frost/Arcane is real pow pow damage and much scary especially if you precog them. Fire is just a chihuahua for now. All bark no bite. Every other DPS spec is a german shepherd and eles are pitbulls
Very technically speaking I think they got it a few patches in after a famous Rag wipe where the paladins alive couldn’t kill rag happened.
But yeah, mostly accurate.
Now I need to verify my memory and deep dive…
Ya I mean I just know we have had it since vanilla.
Altho it was pruned from us in legion and added back as a talent in BfA and then baseline in SL
Did you ever play when it had a cast time? I remember when it first came out it was like a 1.5 second cast and you could get kicked/holy locked on it. Was truly tilting.
I played classic ya.
Rly funny it started off like that.
