Spec Overview

'There is nothing like the sight of the World burning' - this is a pretty common opinion among Fire Mages. These masters of the Fire element have specialized themselves in reducing their enemies to ashes, by unleashing wild flame magic spells on them. Fire Mages are strong ranged damage dealers who excel at doing the Encounter-specific tasks, thanks to their incredible mobility kit. They are also great at finishing off wounded enemies.

Pros	Cons
Great mobility kit	Cannot control its Cleave Damage well
Strong Single Target sustained Damage	Weak against spread out targets
Can Cleave multiple stacked enemies without sacrificing any Single Target Damage	Somewhat lackluster in Damage over Time department
Very Strong Burst Damage capabilities, especially in execute phases

Jun 17, 2018 » Mage » Which spec will you level with in BFA? There is no penalty in BfA for leveling as a different spec than your prefered level 120 spec. So obviously the best and safest leveling spec: Frost. Reply With Quote. Flame On at the same time kinda ruined the high octane feel for me and I might as well hard-cast something that does dmg. Jul 29, 2019 Frost has always been a good spec for sustaining a good level of damage. Tbh who cares what best atm. Like these talents are scalled for 120 and not for the current state. Just wait untill your lvl 120 and than go full hamm simming without legos and proper gear.

Statistics Priority

Intellect - This is Fire Mage's primary statistic. It provides him with Spell Power and increases Damage done by his spells.
Mastery - Fire Mages Mastery: Ignite makes your target burn for an additional 6% of the Damage done by your *Flamestrike, Meteor, Pyroblast, Scorch, Fire Blast,* and *Fireball* over the next 9s. Reapplying this effect adds the remaining damage to your new Ignite. It also gives your *Ignite* a chance to spread to another nearby Target every 2 seconds. This stat is especially great for Cleave and AoE situations.
Haste - Decreases your Global Cooldowns, and increases the speed of your Casts. Haste also reduces the Cooldown of your *Fire Blast* and increases the tick rate and explosion speed of your *Living Bomb*.
Versatility - Straight up Incoming Damage Decrease and Damage Done Increase.
Critical Strike - Increases your chance to deal Double (critical) Damage with spells and abilities. Critical Strike synergizes well with your Pyroblast and *Flamestrike, thanks to the Hot Streak* passive.

The Best Talent Choices

Level 15: Recommended choice - Searing Touch
Searing Touch - Damage of your *Scorch* is increased by 150%, and it Crits 100% of the time. This Talent boosts your Damage output significantly, especially during Execute phases and provides you with a nice instant Cast filler spell that can be used for avoiding downtime while relocating.
Firestarter makes your *Pyroblast* and *Fireball* always Crit against Targets above 90% of their total Health. This is a situationally good Talent that could be selected if an Encounter warrants it. Pyromaniac gives your *Hot Streak* empowered *Flamestrike* and *Pyroblast* casts an 8% chance to reactivate *Hot Streak* immediately. This talent is too RNG dependant to be worth consideration in most encounters.
Level 30: Recommended choice - Shimmer
Shimmer - It is a great upgrade over the *Blink* ability; *Shimmer* has 1 more charge, can be cast off the global cooldown, and does not interrupt your spellcasting, but it has 5s more cooldown (the 20s instead of 15s) and does not break stuns. This Talent will improve your mobility greatly and will allow you to dodge Raid mechanics quickly, without losing DPS.
*Blazing Soul* causes your *Blink* to surround you with the *Blazing Barrier* that absorbs Damage equal to 20% of your total Health for the 60s. This Talent boosts your survivability slightly but is a lot less flexible than the Shimmer. Blast Wave knocks back, damages and slows down (by 70% for 4 seconds) all enemies within 8 yards around you. It is a good Crowd Control Talent, that provides you with an additional Kiting tool; it has 25-second Cooldown. That being said, it is useful mostly in Mythic+.
Level 45: Recommended choice - Rune of Power
Rune of Power - anActive Ability that lets you place said *Rune of Power* on the ground which increases your spell damage done by 40% for 10 seconds if you stay within 8 yards from it; has two charges and 40-second recharge timer. This is the best choice for Burst Damage as well as sustained damage output, but using it in some encounters might get tricky. If fights require you to move a lot, and you lose a good portion of *Rune of power's* uptime, consider choosing *Incanter's Flow* instead.
*Incanter's Flow* gives you a sustained damage bonus that starts at 4%, builds up to 20% over 10 seconds, and then resets back to 4% just to start building up again. This talent doesn't restrict your mobility, and therefore could be selected instead of the *Rune of Power* for very dynamic encounters. *Mirror Image* summons 3 copies of you, which cast spells at your Target and gain Enemy's attention; Copies last for the 40s. This, while 'classic' gives the worst overall damage boost, especially in AoE heavy encounters, and should not be picked.
Level 60: Recommended choice - Flame On
Flame On - Gives your *Fire Blast* an additional charge and reduces its recharge time by 2s. Thanks to *Fire Blast's* synergy with the Hot Streak this Talent is the best choice for Single Target DPS that also boosts your AoE Damage potential, as it provides you not only with more Hot Streak procs, but also greatly increases your control over them.
*Alexstrasza's Fury* causes your *Dragon's Breath* to contribute towards *Hot Streak, and always deal Critical Damage. This is a very strong option for AoE-heavy encounters, but it requires you to be in the melee range. Phoenix Flames* is an active ability that has 3 charges and 30-second rech
