Apparently the Fire Mage single target legendary Sun King’s Blessing is getting fixed that just so happen to make it best in slot:

I will accompany the tears of fire mages with the sound of the world’s smallest violin

Dont care about legendary, most of them will be happy some class specific lego is finaly gona be better than some all specs generic one.
But wait for all dem mages that swaped out of fea because from/arc just to see all top raider and m+ pushers to slowly swap back into fire fea
oh no not a second legendary when some specs need 3-4 to be competetive in different content
might actually be the worst bellular video to date
Fairly certain that only is on close to pure single target. I’ll probably just make it at 235 if i have to at some point and otherwise run with the flat damage increase until then. It’ll only be a few weeks of doing Torghast to get it anyhow.
Was kinda funny to see. I just stuck with fire since i prefer it over frost and never cared much for arcane. That and fire still is the by far better option in PvP outside of a few niche comps.

Im kinda glad fire is coming back. After like first two weeks of season i stoped inviting venth mages into my groups because i knew they are frost, and from all of those mages there was one good frost ( and be was necro) so if i have to take mage now, its either arc or fire.
No idea why so many people play frost if they cant dmg with it properly, be it aoe or ST.

Many likely look at RIO and “copypaste” it onto their character without looking up a guide. Granted, i’ve been slacking so much on the PvE end this season that i’ll have to look up the right combust rotation with different haste buffs and haste levels (mainly when to use Shifting Power for more Fire Blast charges during Combust).
I have no idea how fire mage is played nowdays, i just know as a tank im glad i dont have to pull around his 2 CD combust anymore because he can melt even smaller packs and more often, which for me as tank is a good thing. Puling around my CDs is way easier and comfortable than bein yeled at " pull more comb up!!!"
Also frost is double nono on sang weeks.
Tends to be why bringing a fire mage may not be overly optimal. I can definitely tell the difference in dps on a pull if it’s just a regular pack of 4 - 5 mobs or a pack with 8 - 10. It’s generally not fair to have the tank and healer deal with it in a random group though, unless they’re used to playing with fire mages.
Used to be around the 6 - 7k overall dps mark for me last season without too many pulls being tailored around combust in a M+ setting, though i likely didn’t fully optimise it in each run.
That being said then there definitely are times where you end up sitting on combust for too long thanks to tanks being a bit too careful. Does mean that inviting a fire mage over a more steady dps spec is a bit of a waste.
I mean, u cant realy afford to pull small on high keys, but i know when i can or when i cant pull 4 packs instead of 2.
To me, it looks like dps ( not only mages) care only about their CDs, they dont care that tank has nothing and healer is almost oom, they got Cds ready they need to yell xd
It’s kinda funny to see dps with all sorts of macros or WA’s that lets the group know that they’re dealing “HUGE DAMAGE”. It’s annoying when some take it to the next level and decide to pull for the tank though, unless they’re doing it in a group with people they know.
Eh, fires been too strong forever, I can’t really muster much sympathy for them.

I usualy let them die.
Agree it was nice change, but i grew tired of frost too quickly.
What i would love is total meta change. Now we get shamy healer as on of better, thats good, monk will deserve some love too.
Mage/hunter/boomy, with rogue are always there, ele shamy finaly geting some love. But still almost no ferals, enhas, or survs
The guy is an absolute tool. He feeds off negativity.
Usually the easiest thing to do and then see how long it takes for them to get the message.

This legendary also seems to work better with Venthyr than it does with Night Fae, for raiding. So now it’d be most optimal to be Venthyr inside raids and Night Fae with the current bis in m+.
The covenant system was a mistake.

Anyone playing the game could’ve told the developers this after just a quick glance in the brainstorming phase of thinking of what to put into this expansion. It’s one of those things that really makes me question the developer’s ability to think critically about their own ideas.

lol even the systems are so bad, they now changing them and making players farm even more… this is truly awful way to treat the playerbase
just sayin
Mage is too op as a class, so go ahead and qq, while others specs mains are complaining aboot not being good enough for years.
Oh no, those 3 mages that play at the level where this ”matters”.
Whatever shall they do.
