Combustion doesn't take the remaining duration left of each dot. It takes each dot, extrapolates it to how much damage it would have done in combustion's duration (~10sec), and adds it to the combustion. Works the same with ignite, so regardless of how many ticks of ignites you have left, it's better combusting when you have a big ignite tick. So regardless of if your LB has 2sec left or its max duration, it'll contribute to the combustion the same. When you have LB up, and a juicy ignite, and follow it with a hot streak pyro and pray for a crit, you're better off casting a scorch (hoping it crits) while the pyro is in mid air and then combust when the pyro lands. Casting a living bomb in that situation is a dps loss.
i forgot to mention flame orb in the video due to it being bugged currently on the beta, however you just want to precast it before pulls and use it off cd really, its just a nice bit of extra damage
Also worth noting when you get an impact proc and your living bomb has a second or 2 on you should definitely spread it asap as they all blow up together for a massive short term burst of damage
well you should always have your living bomb spread to 3 targets anyway to maximise the dot, itll spread anyway when you are spreading your built of ignites
@TheChunkinator69 sometimes I get really unlucky spamming flamestrike and no impact proc. I'm just saying make the most of the explosion even when the dot is low
That was great to watch. I feel fire mage is the best fun too. Staged rotation building video would help me because in one global video it is far too much to absorb from one video but up to you. I will subscribe.
Hello. Thanks for the videos. I'm a long mage main. Going to play CAta with my retail guild. WOuld love for you to do a in depth Fire Mage guide for the raid, boss by boss explaining CD timings and tips and tricks.
its a mixture of an image file and a weakaura from Naowhs weakauras, it should be in cataclysm by default though, idk if they will implement it in launch or not though
@TheChunkinator69 I tested this with only living bomb on the target, combust does the same damage at regardless of living bomb duration, whether its fresh or 1 second from falling off, all it cares about is damage per tick not total tick damage of the dot.
Obviously, if you have all procs up, then by all means refresh as then the living bomb will be ticking for more damage, therefore contributing more to combust
@@Ferguson25 yeah that sounds like a bug, ive just logged on aswell and tested combustion and its definitely not working right, even with my living bomb ticking for 2k damage the combust only ticks for 800, that is very wrong, they probably broke the spell again after they tried fixing it cause they thought it was doing too much damage
@TheChunkinator69 combust doesn't care about duration. Only one it cares about is ignite as the damage it has pooled changes as it ticks down. This has been confirmed big the big mage brains
This was a good video, but I think your jokes would be better if your script just has the info you want to share and maybe keywords on the joke you want to tell. Cause it feels like you’re holding up a newspaper when you tell your jokes. Not very natural. Like you’re telling them how they’re written and not with a conversational tone

This script was something straight out of it of 2010
I have a simple mind (mom dropped) and this was one of the few guides I could understand. Thank you
Too funny!! I subscribed instantly when I heard the reason I should play / listen to this guide 😂

You know it haha
Great vid, really enjoyed this and your unique way of presenting information. Looking forward to more mage content!
apologise for the video quality, only just now figured out the issue and it will be fixed for future videos, thank you for your patience

I've been wondering if I needed to replenish living bomb before it exploded to maximise combustion, glad I've not been. Cheers 👍
combustion take care of the last ignite tick ?
Super helpful, now i gotta decide on race between troll blood elf and undead
In terms of min maxing, troll is the best race, the haste racial is just so huge
Great video ty!

This good video .
Yo, im thinking about rolling a caster for the first time. Would fire mage be good for ”first” time caster class?
So do you use frostfire bolt at all? In place of fireball? Or you don't use it at all? Still trying to get down my rotation
Never use frostfire bolt, only time you would ever use frostfire bolt is in PvP if you get spell locked out of fire spells
I have no thoughts only Pyroblast.

Glad I could help! I will be releasing boss guides soon!
Can you please link all the mage weakauras you're using?
Fuck yes now i know when to eat food
what is the name of this addon or wa that put 2 bars around your char when u have a hot streak proc?
its a mixture of an image file and a weakaura from Naowhs weakauras, it should be in cataclysm by default though, idk if they will implement it in launch or not though
We 2009 again boyz
What weak aura is that for hot streak
Where did you get the damage addon, cant find it anywhere. Looks like nice damage addon but cant find it
I use Details :)
@@TheChunkinator69 No Im talking about the addon that shows your damage and crits on screen
@@jasonmorgan27 ahhh its probably my ElvUI, i use Naowhs Profile
Hey bud great video! I can confirm that combust does not care about how long is left on your DoTs it treats them as if they were full duration
Combustion combines your current dots damage on the target, if any of your dots ticked before casting combustion you lose that damage

What are your unit frames bro ?
I use Elvui, a profile made by Naowh and weakauras made by him too
“Perhaps you wanna laugh maniacally as everything around you burns to ashes.”
Huh hey that’s me!
what about arcane?
You have 125 subs and act like prime Tyler1 in the first 30 seconds of the video.
137 now ;)
2 waste point by taking free scortch tbh 🤷🏼♂️

When you dont know how to play a mage but decide to make a video about them anyways.

everything i use is made by Naowh
