Most fire mages take Firestarter in general. The talents seem fairly out of date. Kindling is also a popular choice among mythic mages.

The guide needs an update in particular in talents choices for ToS and new Legendaries ;).

Hi, 

This guide is great thanks. 

One question I have is when do you know when you have enough crit and should start focusing on other stats. Right now I am sitting at 51% crit, 30% haste, 15% mastery, and 4% versatility. Do I have too much crit and should be trying to replace some enchants or gems for more mastery. I have one Saber intellect gem, a deadly eye gems, and a couple quick dawnlight. I have enchants for crit and haste.

I would also like your opinion of the add on pawn as it recommends which gear or gems to use but it seems to conflict with this guide as it recommends the quick dawnlight gem over the deadly eye gem where as this guide does not mention the quick dawnlight gem. 

I took some time off of the game and returned and have found alot of changes so clarification on what I need to do in regards to my stats would be greatly appreciated. 

I did read the guide carefully however it did not mention a top or max percentage before you are essentially over killing on stat.

Also would like to ask if the new legendaries are all better than the older ones, for example I have two rings  Sephuz's Secret with 200 crit enchant and 150 crit gem and I have Soul of the Archamage with 200 crit enchant and 150 haste gem. I have extra crit gems if I should change the haste for gem. I am wearing a Prydaz, Xavarics Magnum Opus with Mark of the hidden satyr enchant and the Sabers 200 intellect gem that I like, but have a hard time choosing between the rings on which one I should wear, They are all upgraded to 970 item level. 

Thanks :)

Stats for Fire in 7.2.5 are incredibly varied depending on the character in question. Crit is actually fluctuating in value heavily (from highest priority to bottom) depending on a number of things: tier sets, Firestarter or not, Koralon's legendary, etc.

If you have the tier sets, use Firestarter and have Koralon's, you will actually have Crit as your lowest priority. As a general rule of thumb, look for any upgrades in item level and use Firestarter. Get the tier set ASAP and you can start dropping crit.

Use Sephuz and Soul.

So Basically Blainie you are saying that I also need a new neck piece? I should sacrifice the legendary neck for the use of the two rings and hope for the ability to use more than two legendaries at a time in the future?

If you have one available that is of a decent item level, yeah. If you have to downgrade to an 830 neck instead of using an 880 ring or so, then keep Prydaz on. Anything above 875+ as a neck will suffice as a replacement for Prydaz, then you can use both rings.

Guest Why do I need this

Will the basic rotation part of "Easy Mode" ever be updated? It speaks of flame on as though it were still the talent that reset the charges of fire blast.

I'll ask Furty to update it. You can essentially omit Flame On from the rotation and just follow it without it included.

Yeah, you get a buff when it procs. You can also set up a weakaura for it so that it's more visible.

wago.io is a great place to find a WeakAura as Zadina suggests :)

Why Firestarter? I can't figure why it should be used. It works only for 10% of the boss's fight, even with T20.

The DPS bonus in those 10% on single target is more than the other talents will offer. On AoE, it gets surpassed by Conflag in specific situations, but Firestarter can still be good.

As Blaine said, stabilizing the opener and the consistency out output during that time usually amounts to more in a raid encounter than a few extra Pyroblasts or some very light ticking damage. There are also a lot of add fights or fights with long lived adds that we can continue to utilize the effect on. With Fire being less bursty and Combustion oriented and our stat budget shifting away from Critical Strike it is the perfect talent this tier to help shore up inconsistency and variability in the opener.

I notice in the easy mode guide that Furty states that players should take the time to learn rune of power over incanter's flow. In the main guide itself Furty contradicts himself and states that with rune of power "it usually comes up short behind Incanter's, and is therefore not used much this tier." While I read the rest of the guide, I'm not every other user of this site and that would be confusing for most players who would like to learn the spec.

Ah, that's an error in the wording that wasn't updated to reflect the talents in the Easy Mode setup. We previously had Incanter's listed because it was far easier to use, but it is now better anyway. I'll get the extra text removed.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
