Fire Mage 7.3

In the Opening I saw that Dragons Breath is listed as very important. Why would I waste a GC on Dragonsbreath. It doesnt even have a 40 yard range. Seems a bit useless to caste it unless there is something right in front of someone. And well Mages tend to be at mage range or something like 30 yards. I dont know any mage who is 10 yards away from the boss.

Expand  

Obviously you don't cast the spell if you're not in range ... there isn't much reason to be in ranged currently in HFC and as Dragon's Breath has been a significant part of the Mage rotation for the last 13 months this shouldn't be anything new to an experienced mage player.

Scorch isn't an instant cast actually.

Where does it say it is?

Pyro fishing is casting a Pyroblast and a Fireball at the same time to potentially generate another instant Pyroblast. Scorch cannot do that because it is instant cast. Currently the only time you should use Scorch is in place of Fireball during Combustion.

Oh, I phrased that poorly. What I meant was that it has no travel time, i.e. instant impact.

is there any way i could get the pawn stat weights for fire in 7.0.3, theres the string for it in most of the other class guides, or is there something big changing when legion lands that´ll change the values from this pre-patch?

In hotfix 7.0.3 they decreased the multiplier on Critical Mass from 1.3 to 1.1 but added +5% critical strike chance to Fire mages.

Does it change the stat priority?

Resimming etc. as we speak. Updates will be in the Legion version of the guide coming later in the week. Unlikely to change stat priority - looking like a buff at ~840 ilvl but a scaling nerf (probably a nerf at 880 ilvl).

I see fire mages stacking Crit and haste, as the top 2 priority stats, i thought it was crit mastery or am i mistaken ?

Well in my guild, we have been doing loads of HFC obviously :D. We are 2 mages in this guild me and the other one, so when items drop he always goes for items with Crit and Haste over Crit and Mastery, for all situations, all fights so im just wondering like does the general dps get better this Crit Haste over Crit Mastery

Guest One last thing

I still have one question though with the understanding maybe:

So I did everything in the guid and I think I maybe already got the "Pyro fishing" by casting fireball, waiting for the crits to spark, then doing a Hot streak by transforming the heating up with fire blast, then waiting for the firebal to cast and then pressing pyro blast so both land on the target at the same time and crit, making the pyro fishing possible. But sometimes it doesn t crit so I have to start over, is this normal ? How many top chains do you usually get, not that I am doing anything wrong...

Yeah that's normal. As I answered earlier in the comments, if only 1 of them crits there is a 0.5s grace period where your heating up won't be canceled by another spell, so two spells hitting and only 1 critting isn't an issue.

Ah ok, then I am apparently doing it right and actually it is working quite well, I just needed some more crits in my stats and now it s working perfectly. Thx =)

How do you know it replaces it? What are you tracking ignite with that you can see the values aren't combined?

Hi, ive got a question regarding combustion cd with kindling and flame on. so after the initial burst, sometimes im in this situation where combustion still has ~30 seconds or so left on it, and the time is optimal for using flame on (aka im out of fireblasts) do i use flame on to  get my fireblasts so i can turn heating up to hotstreak or save it for combustion or use it and just delay the combustion instead ? 
 

not 100% sure if the above explains the scenario or not let me know if you dont quite understand it ill try to explain it better.

 

PS thanks for all your guides they are very helpful.

Hello Furty, i have a question regarding our rotation. When you go pyro fishing, and both the fireball and the pyroblast crits, you get hot streak. The question is, should i use that hot streak immediately or should i recast fireball and launch them together for another chance of pyro fishing?

Hey! From what I've seen in the class Discord, you should always save Flame On for Combustion. Using it outside of Combustion can result in a DPS loss if you don't have it on Combustion; delaying Combustion isn't good since you take Kindling to have your Combustion sooner.

Great guide! Really helped me getting a deeper understanding of the glorious spec fire is. I have one question though I haven't been able to find an answer neither in this guide, in the comments or on Altered-time.

The question is regarding the Tier-90 Talents. Now on pure single-target fights, if such exist in Legion, Unstable Magic is the go-to talent, which makes perfect sense. But when do I switch to Living Bomb or Flame Patch, and how do I chose between those two? I know that mobs have to be stationary for Flame Patch to work, but since Living Bomb also needs to spread for it to be worth anything, the same thing applies to this talent as with Flame Patch right?

I'm sorry if my way of expressing myself is confusing. What I would love know is if there is a rule of thumb when choosing between the above mentioned talents, or if Flame Patch/ Living Bomb is always better on X-amounts of mobs.

Thanks you so much for the guide.

It has been said in the Class Discord forum (which contains mostly Altered Time regulars) that UM is good for 1-2 targets and Living Bomb for 3-4. With the recent Flame Patch nerf and without the Archi class trinket in Legion, LB pulls ahead in multitarget.

      🤠(Author's introduction)🤠

      Introduction: Before I begin I want to clarify that I am an old explorer and curious connoisseur of these players who dedicated their lives for years to a style of play within WoW, known as WoW F2P, I want to clarify the doubt of who this person is and what he came to represent and what he continues to represent today for level 20 communities, looking for information and more information I can say that this is the summarized result of this player known as Saruski, also known by other nicknames with which I will also be willing to better summarize this matter.

      👀 (What were the beginnings?) 👀

      Beginnings: Saruski started playing WoW around 2012 or 2013, but officially dedicated herself to the F2P playstyle in 2014.
      She has videos on her YouTube channel where she talks about her early experiences in WoW F2P, including her time in the Alliance and later joining the Horde. These videos provide some insight into her beginnings in the game and how she became involved with the F2P community.
      👀 (What's it called?) 👀

      Name and character: Saruski, whose real name is Andrea, is a recognized figure in the World of Warcraft (WoW) community, specifically among players who play for free (F2P).

      👀 (What is it known for?) 👀

      Pioneering the F2P community: Saruski founded and led the first international WoW F2P community on the Blizzard app. This provided a central hub for F2P players to connect, share information, and organize groups.
      Advocating for F2P players: She has been a vocal advocate for F2P players, highlighting their achievements and contributions to the WoW community.
      Creating content: Saruski has created videos and content to share her knowledge and experiences with the F2P community.

      👀 (What does Saruski mean for WoW F2P?) 👀

      Community building: Her leadership in creating the first international F2P community helped to legitimize and unify the F2P player base.
      Inspiration and representation: Saruski has shown that F2P players can achieve a high level of play and contribute meaningfully to the WoW community.
      Education and guidance: Her content has helped many F2P players learn the ropes and improve their gameplay.

      👀 (When did he retire?) 👀

      Retirement: While Saruski retired from WoW in 2020, her contributions to the F2P community remain significant. She is remembered as a pioneer, leader, and advocate for F2P players.
      Saruski, a prominent figure in the WoW F2P community, while no specific reason was publicly stated, she did create a video titled "Wow Saruski Official F2p: End Of Story | 2013-2020 (English And Spanish)" which you can find on YouTube.

      👀 (Final summary) 👀

      Summarizing: There are many players today who deserve high recognition, but it could be said that Saruski is the most well-known player and the one who marked a before and after in WOW F2P, given her career in the game and on the internet some people call her the legend of WOW F2P, but there is nothing official to call someone like that, therefore that is up to each person's discretion.
      End...

      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.
