I like the faster play style of TF, seems a pyro build, add in flame cannon and fire is well, on fire. Thoughts?
Before the nerfs, Combustion for AoE, TF for single target.
After the massive TF nerf, the pyroblast nerf, and the Master of Flame (ignite outside of combustion) nerf… now TF is worse in every single possible scenario, and way way way way way WAY… behind for AoE.
I’ve been playing TF the last couple of days, and while I do find it more fun, it’s definitely behind, not to mention completely dead for AoE. Maybe the extra 5 class talent points will help but I doubt it will be competitive at launch, and people who’ve been doing beta seem to confirm that.
Either way I don’t do Mythic+ or raid beyond LFR / World Bosses on my mage, so TF it is for me.
it’s so much more fun, though!
I wish they’d make the fun builds more viable. TF did not deserve the nerfs, especially all the compound nerfs.

Thank you for the feed back. I have been going back and forth, in conclusion with glass cannon you do not need TF, use IC for greater DPS.

Do you need to use phoenix flames in this build or is it closer to the BFA firemage with auto ignite?
I am not sure, but PF does help spread ignite. We will see, however it appears the path thru PF leads to Sun Kings Blessing (i think that is what it is called) in the final row and from what I have read that is the go too lvl 70
No tf before the nerf was amazing fast pAced hard hitting no stupod combustion management but now it doesnt scale in the beta its so far behind the other builds which sucks cause i was gonna main the new tf build firemage i hate the minute man build
