They have the lowest burst of all 3 mage specs
They have the lowest survival of all 3 mage specs
They have the lowest mobility of all 3 mage specs
We need some serious buffs as I am finding it incredibly difficult because at any moment DH, Ele, Destro and Hunter just delete my fire mage within moments due to having lowest survival, lowest health, lowest mobility with very little burst compared.
A full CD combust Pyro is maybe 150-160k at best whilst a single firerift can pump out more than an entire combust without being counteredâŚ

Remove Glass Cannon
Buff Ignite damage by 100% baseline in PVP
Buff Pyroblast by 10-15%
Cauterized should be a 2 minute down from 5 minutes due to it being next to useless in dampening and in a fast pace meta.
No they donât. Arcane burst takes longer to ramp up. Frost has an even longer ramp up, and your real âburstâ is a Ray of Frost that can either 100-0 someone or get interrupted and do nothing
This one is true
???
Frost has the same mobility, Arcane has a little passive movement speed (25%)
Get a Rogue daddy and problems are solved
DH specifically doesnât do much to Mage in general, if the Mage has Frost nova on action bar. Thereâs a video of Supatease showcasing how he is keeping a DH permanently in CC an entire Shuffle game and then wins rather easily
The other 3 specs do destroy Mage though. But this is not a good arguement because Mage completely dumpsters like 20 other specs, especially melees in general
Fire damage is completely fine as it is. Season 2 numbers were extremely broken, where Ignite was ticking for 20% of peopleâs health bars and doing 130k dps when all other classes were doing like 50k dps or less.
Itâs a meaningful trade off
They tried this experiment last season and thatâs why it was nerfed in the first place
*Cauterize should not exist
Cheat death mechanics are stupid and should be pruned from PvP. If there was a trade off to spec Cauterize or get a def CD instead, that is more fair.
Fire has been the best Mage spec in pvp for like what, 5 years? Itâs easily the most easy of all 3 Mage specs to play, most beginner friendly etc, youâre permanently just spamming instants, your damage school is unrelated to your defensives or CC. Itâs like the BM hunter of Mage specs.
Arcane didnât exist as a spec in Shadowlands. So itâs probably fine that itâs the best Mage spec right now.
