hi guys,
after a break I want to come back to DF. do you guys think fire mage will be a good main in pve/pvp? or is it still combust and then 2 min no dps?
lmk cheers
I imagine it’ll still be like that in pvp tbh, need to trigger your cdr with attacks ro get combustion down to 1min with UI. SKB is still likely to be the meta playstyle in pve. I miss the big combustions 
I tried it today on +21 Neltarus, with the SKB+ flamestrike build, and I didn’t really like what I saw. Flamestrike is weak, Flame Patch is weak too and the living bomb that the flame patch adds is also weak. Maybe it will be good on MDI-levels, with half dungeon pulling tanks, but for the average ppl who just want to run some chill/fun +20-22 runs not. On 1-2 pack pulls it just doesn’t do enough damage compared to other classes. The missing 40% damage during combustion is very noticeable.
I haven’t tried the unleashed inferno build yet, but in aoe situation, I don’t think it would be any better since it doesn’t buff flamestrike in any way, and the target number of our ignite spread is nerfed.
Single target damage was OK even on aoe build, so for raids it will be fine.
In the meantime, I switched to frost, as soon as all servers are not offline, I want to try that to and it will turn out later, if the frost is enjoyable and brings good numbers, then I won’t force the fire.
You know what is the biggest problem? This flamestrike build is too good on high end lvls, where the teams can manage insane big pulls, uncapped aoe is great. But at the level of average people around 20 keys, where a 2 pack pull is just managable its not that strong. But precisely because it is very strong on MDI levels, it will get some nerfs, and it will be almost useless to the average people.
It may be very strong in some mdi keys but ignite spread was much stronger because you could do huge prio dmg and not have to worry about moving mobs out of the aoe.
What your saying is true but if some specs get to have uncapped aoe and other don’t they have to make sacrifices in other ways to balance the game.
Luckily for us our other specs now fill in where fire is weaker really well. Frost is now great on small packs with glacial, Arcane has incredible burst… honestly you might see Arcane in mdi before fire.
