Hey i started leveling up my mage from 70-80, I was arcane but decided to spec frost, which i was having about 1.3-1.5k dps at level 72+ then I went fire, but I'm only doing around 800-900 dps, what is a good rotation for a fire mage, and should i include scorch(i have the glyph)? |

mage rotation for instance or leveling?. If it's for leveling start the fight with pyro,then fireball,scorch if you want and fireblast to finish the fight,when you have 2 crits in a row,use instant pyro,i usually kill monsters for less then 10 sec,so i dont use living bomb. If you are talking about instance,then keep scorch(10% more crit) up all time and since you have the glyph,better.The rotation would be living bomb>2 scorch>fireball,when you have 2 crits in row use instant pyro and keep up scorch and living bomb at all times,if you dont have enough mana tho,dont use living bomb,or use mage armor instead.But seriously i think for leveling frost is better,not so much downtime and still killing mobs fast.I was full frost till 75,then switched to deep fire with frostfire.Hopefully my post help you.Good luck |

Fire on its own isn't wonderful these days. If you want a frostfire spec and rotation, see one of my other posts. Leveling as fire, Vlads rotation is generally standard - I didn't tend to use pyro as starter simply because I got bored with the cast length and fireball, fireblast, scorch tended to kill most things. In instances, you want living bomb, scorch, scorch, fireball spam, with pyro on crit and refresh lb and scorch as needed. If you have good mana, throwing in the odd fireblast directly after a fireball crit can frequently trigger second crit and thus hotstreak. A good addon is scorchio which will give an audio warning when you need to renew scorch and living bomb - still beta so living bomb warning a tad hit and miss, but better than nothing. Once you've got above 26% crit I'd suggest trying frostfire but tbh I'm finding anything below 28% crit is lousy dps with frostfire. Leveling generally though, I did find frost better - lots of survivability and you can use aoe leveling a lot, which speeds things like drop quests up immensely. You can also solo most 2 man quests. Not worth fire or frostfire until 80, really. |
