Sorry to hijack, but is there a reason the frost and fire mage posts are not accessible?

Hey I have played with pyromaniac. Can u please elaborate on how to use it? And what do you mean by it changes playstyle? :) It changes is in regards of: 1) On pull you precast and immediately start with combustion // Instead of weaving Firestarter Procs. 2) You need to pay attention when/if pyroma...

Could you give us your simc export?
I want to sim with your stuff and compare it to mine.

Since i had the same "feeling" about the crit build. But actually using it, was a simc dps loss of around 70k.

My mistake

z0nkey you are running 90+ logs with just 34% crit?
dafuq?

Welcome to 4t21. Welcome to changing your whole equip and playstyle :D About ROP: Use your "between combustion phase ROP" when bracers proc. If not, save it for the next combustion phase so you got 2 ROP for Combustion. I gave up the 30.000 simdps gain and went for IF. Just because im too lazy to pl...

@OP, are you using the legendary gloves with your setup? I've noticed you are far less likely to have all three charges of Phoenix Flames up if you do, so that's why I was curious. If not which legendaries are you using? The bracers I'm sure, is the other one the belt? Thinks kinda changed since ye...

Hey guys, im currently running very solid logs. But im curious about the rotation of 4pc T21 with ROP and Kindling. Do you safe your 2 charges of ROP for the Combustion phase (and use BOTH in this phase)? In regards of combustion/ROP my rotation is kind of like: 1- ROP 2- Combustion 3- Spam 4- Recas...

Luckily Blizz did a good job on mages.
Scrap all your questions and reduce it to one thought:

What playstyle do i prefer?
High APM: Frost
Mid APM: Fire
Lowish APM: Arcane

That´s it.
With the exception of Mythic+ Dungeons you are free to play whatever you like. Every spec performs very good.

In case you want to stick at fire:
Add me on Bnet, i will help you out.

But dont forget, that it has got a 3 min cd. Unsure if its worth

Guess you all forget that you got shimmer. For that pyro hardcast.

I understand your concerns. But, for beginners it is just easier to force the first proc by a fireblast. So you are guaranteed to do your opener right. Me personally: I dont wait for the first one procs. I cast about 3 fireballs (for sinew proc), but even without sinew, you should just cast 2 and go...

You are right. Damn it´s hard to create an easy understandable chart

@Falq: Normally you dont need to wait, since the first or second fireball should proc. This is just the worst worst case, if you need more than 2. Just keep spamming it, dont waste any time "waiting" for procs. I know that there are quiet a lot of arrows :D But packed together, i do the same thing a...

I know, thats why i kept it simple. But i noticed, that i forgot to add my talents. Will do that now.

And, yes, it is better to cast phoenix first, so you get another phoenix up. But, i wanted to keep it simple. Two FB, FO, Two FB, continue with phoenix.

Hey guys, i took the time to create a Fire Mage opener Flowchart. It is aimed for beginners, guys who got problems with their opener or other interested people. As a disclaimer i pointed out, that this is only ONE version of an opener. There are more and there are better ones - but as i said, this o...
