Haven’t done any dungeons in this xpac yet but in BfA it took cooperation from the tank (mainly timing around Combustion) for fire mages to do decent damage. Dunno if that’s still true but this behavior could easily be carryover from BfA.
fire mages do exponentially more dps the more mobs there are considering they have uncapped AoE, some others have uncapped AoE as well but fire mages have it fairly easy with their short CD allowing them to be almost on command with it.
No, you cant. Mistakes in mythic+ kill keys and when I am progressing, which I usually am, one wipe is a dead key. Most groups defer to safe pulling on progress when pugging. I should know, I ask them where its relevant.
I was on NW +16 Fortified on some of the hardest trash in the game with people whose DPS has NOT been stellar and I am bad cause I am not double pulling.
The mages do not have the context required to demand anything of me, its ridiculous. They dont get it. If I can pull more, its happening. If I cant, its not.
Not all tanks can do big pulls some just die in the setup, most firemages think all tanks are dh tanks, also there is a lot of animosity towards them becouse of their fotm class status in both pvp and pve theres also the thing with blizz forgetting to put an aoe cap to them
My experience last expansion and this one is that most fire mages are trash tier fotm rerolls who do barely more damage on boss fights than the tank and often times less on trash. Moonkins are a close 2nd this expansion for trash fotm rerolls that have no idea what they are doing. Seeing 215+ moonkins end keys with 4k dps or lower and using none of their utility.
Yep. In fact if one looks at the classes that did and didn’t get capped, it’s basically reverting to the AoE+cleave lineup of the past (WotLK I think). The classes that aren’t capped now never have been, and those that are used to be.
Why would I not have a god complex as a tank though? If your key breaks, because you won’t stop trying to subvert the tank, the tank will be into another key before you can finish typing “bad route”.
