Convert and Spend Hot Streak: Critical strikes generate Calentamiento and ¡Una buena racha!, spend these on Piroexplosión (or Fogonazo in AoE). Use Explosión de Fuego to convert Heating up into Hot Streak.

Combustion is Key: Combustión makes all spells guaranteed Critical Strikes, supercharging Hot Streak generation. This spell can be cast while casting, so try to always activate it at the end of a cast.

Don't Waste Time: Sitting on capped Fire Blast charges, or using them when you already have Hot Streak up is wasteful. Try to make full use of cooldowns and buffs. Always be casting.

Best Damage & Performance: Orco is the best race for damage.
Pandaren, Enano, Mecagnomo, Tauren, Trol, Enano Hierro Negro, and Elfo del Vacío all perform well, damage wise.

Best Mythic+ & Raid Utility: Enano, Elfo de la noche, and Elfo del Vacío have the best Mythic+ and Raid utility. Dracthyr gets an honorable mention for Planear.
Dwarves can cleanse various debuffs from themselves with Forma de piedra.

Night Elves can Fusión de las sombras to dodge projectiles and break enemy casts.

Void Elves have damage reduction from Escalofrío nocturno, spell pushback protection from Calma preternatural, and a teleport with Falla espacial.

For either faction, Dracthyr is a fantastic pick thanks to its unique Glide ability, which functions like a double-jump.

Phoenix's flame was a bad choice for the fire mage due to long recharge and low dmg considering it being the main dmg ability for Fire mage ! the fact that they would nerf it even further and losing 1 fire blast charge to take phoenix flame , means the class is further nerfed... so thanks to blizzard for keep nerfing the one iconic spec for blood elven mages !

Comentario de Piopapae

I've mained Fire for the entirety of Legion.
The spec feels kind of bland right now with a lesser version of combustion.
Talent choices have become more situational and it should be very interesting as raid and m+ will give different playstyles.
Plus that mages will be very valuable in m+ with spellsteal. There's a lot of buffs to steal and build your combustions around.

BFA starts out with a simpled down rotation, but most certainly add a lot of good stuff along the expansion.
I have no doubt that the complexity will return.

Thanks for posting this guide, it was very helpful

Does the DOT on Rank 2 Pyroblast do double damage if your Pyro critically strikes, like during a Combustion window or with taking Firestarter? Can't find any info on it

Comentario de Cerafoxx

Please stop writing for Fire if you are not going to play the class. You have taken major fire spells away from Fire mages and that needs to stop. So if Preheat wants to write about Arcane or Frost go right ahead. Leave Fire mage alone.

I don’t get why Crit is put as the lowest value stat here, when it is what fuels Una buena racha. I would think that would give crit top priority for fire mages.

Comentario de Aerynsun8449

I'm curious, (and I apologize if I'm wording this rudely. It's not my intention.) Are you still playing a Fire Mage? Only reason I ask is in your section on how to play a Fire Mage you suggest casting Bola de Fuego until you get Calentamiento from a crit. I'm level 65, played it from level 1. I've never seen Calentamiento. It's not in my spell book, it's not in the talent tree. I get Una buena racha after getting two critical strikes in a row which does what Calentamiento tool tip says it does, Piroexplosión or Fogonazo become instant casts and cause double the normal ignite damage. How I've been getting Una buena racha is casting two or three Explosión de Fuego in a row or casting two Llamas del Fénix in a row. Sometimes I cast a combination of two or three Explosión de Fuego and Llamas del Fénix back to back. Just as long as I get two critical strikes in a row with them. That's the most common way for me to get Una buena racha. Occasionally I can get Una buena racha by casting Bola de Fuego and then Explosión de Fuego or Llamas del Fénix. But I don't think I've ever gotten Una buena racha after casting two or more Bola de Fuego in a row. I can't swear to it, but I think Calentamiento was removed from the game. Again, I'm level 65 and it's not in my spell book nor in the talent tree. I just started playing a Fire Mage in 10.1.5 so Blizz may have changed the way that works this patch. This way seems like a lot easier to work as a new player. I can get Una buena racha with a couple different combinations. When one way is on cool down, the other is just getting off or is off cool down so I'm constantly casting and getting the crits that make Piroexplosión or Explosión de Fuego instant cast.

Comentario de Scaryfox

I just started playing this yesterday so, I really love having all this knowledge at my finger tips. I also figured out that I was underutilizing Fire Blast, even though I didn't have that issue with the other specs.

I'm a little confused about the race recommendation. I completely understand making a Troll Mage since they have more racial bonuses than the most popular choice. A Tauren, though? I played one as Arcane and War Stomp was only helpful until level 15.

Comentario de Kurtosis

Sadly, this guide doesn't explain racial choices at all, but the Arcane and Frost guides do. Tauren and Dwarf are recommended b/c both get a 2% increased Crit Dmg racial buff, which interacts particularly well with Frost's Shatter.

However, Mechagnome's Combat Analysis racial was finally fixed in DF, making it scale to level 70, apparently making it the best DPS racial for mages (or any DPS class Mechagnomes can play).

Also, Dark Iron Dwarf probably has the best burst racial with Fireblood, which combined with its debuff clear, makes it best for PvP. Also, honorable mention to Night Elf for Shadowmeld, which gives mages 2x target dropping abilities on 2m cd's (assuming you also take Greater Invis talent), also useful in PvP.

Comentario de Jundo

While i understand that secondaries can vary based on builds, the fact that every build in this list has different priorities is a little bit much, The idea of regemming and/or carrying multiple sets if i want to swap talent builds, and needing like 3 sets is way too much. Can we simplify this just a tad? i can see swapping a few pieces for ST vs AOE, or raid vs m+, but this guide will require 3 or 4 different gearing set ups to maximize secondaries for all the builds

Get Preheat off of here

Comentario de Arkthugal

The M+ build takes gravity lapse but not supernova?

Comentario de AdenAndrews

"Mages are hard to kill"? I die ALL the time.

Comentario de Karon1

I love how the Builds for M+ keep changing from a copy of the raid talents back to a meteor build, then back to raid build and now a meteor build again. And all that in the span of 2 weeks.
