Because undead is my fav race, I went on the Herodamage website to see what specs got the best useage out of their racials. I often hear their talents are terrible so I expecting to see them at the bottom for most specs but their racials seemed to be pretty competitive. Apparently they are the best Blood DK’s looking at the M+ sims.
Anyway, as I already have a DK I keept looking and apparently they are also the best race for Fire Mage on the Horde side for M+.
Why is that? Touch of the grave is a chance on hit proc to do damage so, is there something about Fire Mages that are able to proc that more than every other spec? Or am I not on the right track at all?
fire mage hits more = more procs
Right, I asked this in the General Discussion too cause I didn’t get any replies and ya, I wasn’t sure what it was about fire mages that enabled more procs but I guess it’s their mastery. I wonder why other Dot classes like Lock and Spriest don’t take as much advantage of the racial as the Fire Mage does?
Just guessing but a couple of possibilities come to mind:
- The spec has a huge number of instant cast offensive abilities that are a major part of its rotation and as Dragrosh indicated, fire mage hits more = more procs.
- Ignite which is a baseline, automatic dot for fire mages works differently than most other DoTs because it stacks (sort of) and can spread to nearby enemies. I’m guessing that either the stacking or spreading can generate “on hit procs”
- Conflageration a fire mage talent similar to Ignite also has the same innate ability to spread.

Actually Lightforged are the highest sim for Fire.
Lightforged.
Void Elf.
Troll.
Dwarf.
Human.
Mag’har orc.
UNDEAD.
But tbh they are so close it doesnt really matter on race.
I will say that when a Lightforged pops its 2.5m cd it will destroy aoe meters on that pull. So like reaping.
It depends on what you sim for. On herodamage if you click m+, undead is the highest on the horde side.
What you have listed is when simming for boss damage which is the default setting.
Yea I just copied it off Icy.
I’m still shocked lightforge isn’t #1.
The racial is strong on reaping.
BM isnt very op at AOE but on the reaping portion with racial I can hit 100k dps.
