How much stronger/worse will the fire spec be or smoother/clunkier will the spec gameplay be in season 4 given the tier set is changing back to S2 + having access to the dinar/bullion system? I'm coming back to DF and haven't played since S1. Am wafting between my MM hunter and Fire mage. I mostly pug keys and stop playing at or near 3k io. MM hunter always felt more chill to play than fire mage and more reliably topped dps meters in pug keys. Fire mage feels awesome when in rhythm playing around combust/skb and mob pull cadence, but awful when out of rhythm as my dmg falls off significantly, which can happen often to me when pugging.
I main warrior but play alt mage, I struggle so hard with being squishy and needing to preempt damage instead of being able to react to it like on my warrior. Any tips?
mage defensives dont really work reactively, best only way really is to learn what spells hit you, but a good way to start could be randomly pressing alter time if you think you may get hit soon, then you end up learning over time where you actually did get hit during it
@@Manather Thank you for your reply. I'll try to get better, but atm moment in keys it just seems less fun than warrior because I need to be more focused on staying alive than doing damage. I think blizzard should make them a bit sturdier.
Getting some firestarter value first. It would've been a better play had I not died so I was there even earlier. Realistically I should've just combusted when I got a hot streak.
trying to learn firemage right now but im struggling soooo hard. i kinda cant deal real dmg in a key. im going for 20s right now playing flamestrike build. also tried ignite build but this was so bad i dont wann talk about xD. i kinda deal only 150k overall with 477. feels soooo freaking bad. my hunter deals tons more of dmg with less gear anyone has any tips? im completly new to fire mage?
should at least end every pack with you having SKB (sun kings blessing) buff, to start every fight with at least small combust, that's for sure, also 20s can be tricky and pulls could be not that great (number-wise) or you can be in a group with ench/dh who erase mobs in a blink of an eye. Just keep playing and progressing, it's not you who may be bad, things around could be wrong as well
Not always, but their damage profile and a cheat death not shared with the rest of the class makes it a lot harder for arcane or frost to pull ahead. You only need so much AOE dmg after all. This tends to lead to a perception that frost and arcane are weak, when in reality they do a lot more overall damage and are perfectly competitive for any level of play.
Playing FTA instead of intensifying flame because on the 2nd and 3rd boss we pull too many mobs to have intensifying flame up.
what trinkets you run for this
@@snowman1172 gear should be shown at like 2s, but balefire + augury
@@Manather ah gotchu that's why all that crit doin you good, bet
@@snowman1172 still want a lot of crit even without it, crit is a good stat.

Hey Manather bro mastery is very important for the ignite build right?
its good in AOE, bad in ST, so most people dont go to heavy into it

Any chance you can share your no ice flows weak aura? Progging tindral and that will help massively

@@Vo1Tep Yeah thanks. But now im only pressing Divine Storm
At which point does it make sense to play fire instead of frost? I play mostly 20 keys with groups that don't do super big pulls
there isnt one really, I just prefer fire around 28s, before that I do sometimes still play it, but its more because I want to than need to.
How on earth do you cast shifting power while moving???? I’d love to know

Will fire mages always be meta in the higher keys?

@@Manather That makes sense. Just seems like we eventually see fire at the higher keys every season.
Man this is my life daily no Aug. And can't even break 250k..
Those cats Slap pretty hard
I'm a lil confused why I'm lookin at most fire mages running ashes, pips but both sim worse than Coagulated, Balefire on 5 target and dungeon slice
Bit strange pips would sim lower for you, but ashes is generally for better 2 min line ups in keys and to avoid the stack loss balefire can have
Bruh JUST HOW????
Nerf cats
@Manather at the beginning you probably got aggro cause of the mass barrier
body pulled before sigil hit i think
good route + easy season, if this was season 1 pugs would suffer just the same
