Frostfire is getting another nerf in 11.0.7 patch. Just fyi
Really strange to announce a nerf in isolation when Fire (and FF Fire in particular) is already in the dumpster. FF is almost never taken outside of PvP, where Fire is also severely underperforming…
That said my (decreasingly) optimistic side hopes this is in advance of something being cooked up for Fire that will level FF out with Sunfury and give the spec a much-needed boost. Numbers aside, FF Fire is kind of weird to play with the constant stream of procs to manage/not overcap on, so this change could smooth things out a bit if there’s something else in the works to compensate.

It’s a tool tip clarification, Flash Freezeburn is what gives the passive that the text is going over.
You’re sure? I hope so!
I love fire spec and I just started with FF I love it. I know its garbage but its fun imo I hope they do something to make it more viable.

Yeah it’s pretty fun, albeit a little hectic to get all your procs out before they overcap. I really hoped they’d have made it more viable after disentangling it from LB, but it’s nice to always have something to do/press. Call me crazy but I kind of miss SKB on that front. Hate Combusting towards the end of a pack and having nothing going into the next.
Much like Fire in general, could use a little love on the ST front. The meteor/CS, PF/nova, and frostfire burst are a little cleave-heavy when you also account for Ignite.
what sucks even more is frostfire fire got hit harder by the CD bug fix than sunfury fire. I believe the gap between SF and FF increased by 3% on the standard profile…and FF already had really bad ST. I miss when it was arguably viable in m+ instead of the entire class being “arguably viable” in keys in general…
