jw what other mages think of the pom pyro spec. im 21/30/0 and it seems to do p well in bgs. jw what other mages are going for wsg in particular
Not a mage, but I have been a victim of this combo wombo one shot which can also be known as “Pom Pyro”. My condolences to all my fallen brethren who has been a victim to Pom Pyros.
ey! the three minute mage!
PoM pyro is a lot of fun, but remember, theyre called “3-minute mages” for a reason. Youll also need to respec every week if youre a raider.
yea i dont raid strictly pvp so i love it. and if u dont go arcane pom pyro u have much more crit and fire dmg overall. not just the 14 sec arcane power buff
21/30 is viable and overall more consistent outside of your 3 minute cooldown. I ran this PVP Spec back in 2005 when I was in ~Tier1
yea its op if used correctly. only issue is you have no survivability p much a glass cannon
I’m a druid in classic, but back when I used pom pyro in vanilla I felt immortal, but yet again I stacked agility on a mage for “faster fireballs” and prioritized staff damage thinking it was spell damage. Whoops.
You couldn’t make a good melee mage till BC, imo.
RP battle mage hehe.
Pom pyro is definitely the best route for WSG, since you are going to be relied on to take out flag carriers and nothing quite has the same burst without requiring unrealistic set-up. Some people might say AP pom pyro is even better for doing that, but I find the lack of any real viability between cooldowns too terrible with that spec to justify it. Opponents will also key in on you the second you reveal you have AP.
That term is only really reserved for AP Pom Pyro … OP said 21/30 which isn’t given the 3MM title.
I mean, you still do the most dmg at 3 min, it’s still a “3 minute” mage, it just does better outside of those three minutes then the AP based one.
The most burst is every 3 minutes, but its 30 points in to a tree that doesn’t even give you a 3 minute cooldown and does plenty of damage between cooldowns. It’s a bit ridiculous to equate 31/20 to 21/30
I’m not, they’re still both BASED around a 3 minute cooldown is all, not that one can’t do better outside of that.
I would never play it either way, I hate fire mages, have for the last 15 years.
Arcane Mage forever.
21/30 is not BASED around a 3 minute cooldown. 31/20 is. Have you even played as a 21/30 mage?
edit: As I suspected
The fact that it does its best dmg at 3 minutes does make it based around that cd yes.
OK so all warriors are 30 minute warriors. K.
Troll somewhere else.
i mean i see what youre saying Wirt and yes to an extent it is but the 21/30 just gives way better overall dmg but i def see ur point
Warriors aren’t based around reck, you go troll somewhere else.
