Fire Mage OWNS in Phase 4! Best Talents & Runes | WoW SoD Phase 4 Guide 

Please check out my update Pre-BiS gear list on: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jVqvRnT4bd8.html

Been waiting for your vid on this, my man!

We’ve been waiting for this! Thanks for the guide. Any chance you’ll make a guide on what to do first at 60/on the way to 60?

was hoping to see you back!

been waiting for a video from you 🎉

Great to see you back man, thought you were done after P3

Glad you posted this welcome back! Can you share the sixtyupgrades link?

Also I must ask about Hit Cap, I see that you didn't have any hit gear for Pyroblast/Scorch. What do you think? I wanted to get in 4% hit for Pre-Bis to optimize the hit on Pyro/Scorch/FireBlast, without 4% hit my DPS seems to drop quite a bit. Thoughts? EP+Ring gives 12% hit for Fire, obviously Balefire/FFB is fine but I don't want my Pyros/Scorches/FBS missing and not refreshing.

With the recent changes to Hot Streak I've seen a lot of success in optimized builds in regards to mana consumption. If you're still facing some mana issues as well you could potentially takes the two points from arcane and 2 excess point from the Fire tree and move them into Frost Channeling for 15% further mana reduction for FFB/Balefire. I will likely use your build but if I'm facing mana issues and resistances aren't crazy high I may rock the 0/33/18 build.

For those getting to rank 10 asap, more interested in rep grinding, and arent as interested in spamming dungeons as much like me, my early setup looks like: Helm - Eye of Flame (because I already had it from phase 3) Amulet - Orb of the Darkmoon (1200 DMF ticket) Shoulders - Rugged Mantle of the Timbermaw Back - Spritecaster Cape (because I already had it from phase 3) Chest - Garments of the Atal'ai Prophet (because I already had it from phase 3) Bracers - Dryad's Wrist Bindings Weapon - Mindfang Off-hand - Personal Spellbook (aiming for AV exalted off-hand after) Gloves - Sorcerer's Gauntlets (the blue gloves are boe and this is the first of the 0.5 questline) Belt - Defiler's Cloth Girdle Legionnaire's Silk Legguards (PvP rank 8) [+23 spell damage from 2-piece pvp set] Boots - Blood Guard's Silk Walkers (PvP rank 7) [+23 spell damage from 2-piece pvp set] Ring1 - Advisor's Ring (can grab this right at 58) Ring2 - Band of Boiling Blood (because I already had it from phase 3) Trinket1 - Darkmoon Card: Decay Trinket2 - Invoker's Void Pearl or pvp trinket

Do you think that mage will be able to compete in pvp vs shamans, spriests, and locks? Or is mage still a bit too under powered in your opinion?

the video i was looking forward to

The list I came up with (with assistance from people in the mage Discord) is pretty similar, except for a couple things. First, I think it's worth going for 2/6 from the honor PvP items since that comes with a bonus +23 spell damage. So you can, for example, take the PvP shoulders and hands and take the Sorc belt instead of the Arathi belt, but other combinations are possible (the PvP legs are good too). Second, it seems like you did not prioritize hit% at all, and from a sim I saw the first four percentage points of hit are worth roughly 10 spell power each (useful for FB, Pyro, and BFB), which makes some of the +hit gear really good…though this is still a matter of debate. The best pieces that have hit look to be the wild offering trinket (Breadth of the Beast), Strath Live neck (Star of Mystaria), Sunken Temple robes (Garments of Atal'ai Prophet), Sorc belt, and maybe UBRS ring (Rune Band of Wizardry), though there are a few others that are decent enough. It’s probably worthwhile to mix in enough of these to fully cap out on all fire spells, while again ideally maintaining 4/8 Sorc set and 2/8 PvP honor set too for the tier bonuses. Of course, it may just come down to sim differences as everything is unproven at the moment. The one I was working from also prioritized crit% as equal to around 14 spell damage, whereas yours seemed like it was around 9-10 spell damage (not suggesting one is more correct, maybe the truth is in the middle and we know weights are fickle and contextual). This also meant the one I had preferred the Nacreous Shell Necklace over the DMF neck and the Eye of the Beast as the 2nd best trinket behind Briarwood (not sure where the Draconic Emblem and Ritual Charms fall). Also, I don't think Chains of the Lich are in the game. It's from a Strath Live boss that's only in during the scourge invasion.

have you got a guide to how a fire mage can do dps on Ragnaros and Onyxia?

Hey ! Why st wand and not BRD ? 13sp > 12sp + .8 no ?

Question: Aren't most of the 60 raid mobs immune to fire? They were back in vanilla.

any chance of adding a reccomended rotation. Cheers.

He's done it again!

Seano, all mages aren’t looking at the Diremaul mage trinket. It’s literally Briarwood reed with fire resistance

Are MC Mobs Resisting to fire dmg or not ?

Will AB weapon be available?

The Hot streak to Head rune change is the most obvious choice to do because Fire never had a decent head rune for them and FFB was too effective to not use.

Hi there very nice vid , is it posible to share us the pre bis list ?

is balefire rune worth it?

`what about professions?

Edit: I see fireblast won't waste GCD. So the debate continues. macroing with other spells vs on use /timing for hot streak. I'll likely macro. thanks for the video!

Frost please

Why bother taking shatter if you don’t go fingers of frost?

and you say "alchimie gona be BIS' can i know why too ? ;)

What i dont understand is clearly fire will do way waaaaaay better than any other spec. Why aren’t they increasing arcane / frost spells damage
