The best mages playing this spec know every fight, from every dungeon, from every difficulty top to bottom. I cannot stress how important it is to know when to use CDs. Just read it.įrom my own experience, the most important item to consider in playing fire right now is 80% of your damage will come from your cooldown phase. Don't be that guy who's posting to ask a question that's already been answered in the first thing you should be doing. This will be your general "how do I play a fire mage" and "I used to play a fire mage, what has changed?" EVEN IF YOU'RE A LONG TIME MAGE PLAYER you need to read this top to bottom. The first item you should read is Rinoa's Guide. I've linked specifically to the Fire section of the website. The new mage theorycrafting location is Altered Time. If you're not aware of it then you need to be. At the worse case of it all, always cast something. Kick yourself for situations you should have known about.
#Dps mage mage drops alot how to
Know how to handle an unexpected event and make the most of it. Discern to yourself how you can use your abilities to meet the constant rule, you can never stop casting. The minute you stop a cast you might as well have stuck your thumb in your ass because that time is now completely wasted. If you're new to playing a caster then you need to know a very basic concept: ABC (Always Be Casting). In playing my mage this expansion I've noticed a lack of info DBM gives me on some fights. If we all hit our rotations equally standing still, then the best fire mages are the ones who can still do it while being able to predict what is going to happen next. In baseball, the best players are the ones who know where the play will be before it happens. At their best case, they're an extreme exception.Īs you read on you'll probably gain a better understanding of why I think this way, but playing Fire is a lot like baseball. Don't believe those who say they are "just doing well" or whatever flavor they try to spin to make everyone think they're the son of Zeus. Folks are pulling big numbers because they play this class a lot. You'll be shit for a while until you have the crit gear to sustain you. Would love to get this updated or maybe include a "tips and tricks" section.įire Mage is not a "let's just jump into it and be amazing" spec. Let me know in the comments if I missed something.
I main the same mage with every expansion and consistently shoot to be the best DPS or in the top 2/3 with whatever raid I am in. We are 7/7 Heroic and will be killing Mythic bosses this weekend. Legion has surely brought plenty of it and no one really knows for sure on some issues.Ībout me and my credibility/experience: I have been playing this game since BC and currently am leading a Mythic raiding guild. If anything they'll at least be given the impression that they're not alone on their confusion. That and there will surely be comments based on what is written here, all intended to benefit the reader.
This is also organized in a fashion that should make sense to someone with the generic question "my DPS is low, wtf?" The benefit of this guide in comparison to Altered Time is it gives you a person's perspective on why things are the way they are from someone who has already been through the tribunal of Altered Time guides, trinket swapping, talent swapping, stat priority and rotation nonsense that is a fire mage right now. I'm hoping to do that again and reach out to those I hear writing into the podcast, YouTube, Twitch broadcasters seeking help. He went from 260k DPS after a 1 minute fight to 400k+ DPS in the same time window. I've given out a lot of tips and just helped another mage improve his DPS. Of this thread is to summarize, with experience, the things I've learned from Fire Mage this expansion.
