Please fix fire

I’m all here for arcane and frost having their moment. But please:

  • Figure out wtf the plan with Living Bomb was. Y’all listened with RoP (albeit took a few months/years.) Ya’ll listened with NP (took a few minutes). Who on earth are you listening to that said Fire needed more passive priority cleave?!

  • Hyperthermia as a concept is awful and stop trying to make it happen

  • Pyro hits for less than a good ice lance and it’s theoretically like a 5 second cast. I dunno, figure this one out

  • Flamestrike targeting borders on insane so either add an @target capability or please stop pretending this was the design

  • same with meteor but this also does no damage and it’s a meteor falling from the sky

  • if I’m not engulfed in flames I do no damage except when I got a proc that does the exact same thing or if I do the exact same thing 8 oh wait 10 times I can do the exact same thing. Perfect opportunity to add something in between but jk I wanted passive cleave

  • buff our passive cleave

While they’re fixing Flamestrike and Meteor targeting, they could fix Blizzard too… reticles and @cursor are ugh… in this day and age.

Edit:
That said, I’m all on board with Fire getting some kinda damage bump… it’s really sad where they are.

I love Fire’s play style and really wanted to continue being Fire, but I’m afraid I’ll get rejected from every raid group because even the Tanks are doing more DPS…

Seems like I’m gonna have to do like 90% of the mages and reroll Arcane this expansion :frowning:

Really clinging to my personality in staying fire for raid

I feel like the easiest way to “fix” fire damage without making it go overboard is to buff fire damage across the board and turn Combustion into a spell attack like it was in Cataclysm. You’ll still do and spread big ignites after using Combustion, but your damage won’t sharply fall off because Fireball and Pyroblast would once again do decent damage instead of being weak. I doubt this would appeal to many, but I’m trying and failing to find a solution with the current Combustion cooldown.

Please fix fire mage, it does no damage and pryoblast is terrible it hits maybe 300k why is it that my level 70 lock can hit a level 80 for a 800k chaos bolt but pyro blast is like 300k max and greater pyro is no better. Fire mage has been nerfed to the ground the best version of fire mage was MOP. For the love of god buff this class and give up the flame strike crap this is terrible for pvp.

We had a healer in our group out dps the fire mage. :no_mouth:
Like yikes, the fire mage was basically just the water-boy for the healer we had lol

It wouldn’t had been so bad if it was just a one-off, but the fact I’ve seen it happen more than once :grimacing: Well … Lets just say before I even got to play my mage, I knew NOT to play fire.

Because the only thing that’s hot with fire at the moment is the fact that it’s hot garbage, in SERIOUS need of a buff.
