As evidenced by numerous single target encounters: Fire desperately needs a single target buff of some sort.
A 10% Pyroblast buff would mostly solve the issue and would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Some AoE buffs would be nice too, so we can actually do M+ as Fire. Ignite spreading doesn’t really cut it, and to do average AoE damage you have to take talents that nerf your ST.
No, our AoE is more than fine. In fact it’s above average.
Ignite “cleaving” should never be our primary AoE, Flamestrike should (as it is, finally).
We are currently only dreadfully falling behind everything in single target and that is negatively reflecting on the spec’s viability in all aspects of the game.
10% on Pyro might address their nonsensical 3% nerf, but not the Sunfury butchery.
I bet they gonna buff Living Bomb again in 11.0.7. 
Feels like blizzard got no clue what to do with fire mage … they prolly will buff some weird talent to prevent us to play sunfury ever again with ignite build, just remake fire mage if thats the problem but playing with frostfire or living bomb (as a proc) its just not fun.
Frostfire is actually extremely fun
but the problem is that it relies on Sun King’s Blessing which is, along with the rest of our core, heavily undertuned

I actually find the gameplay to be incredibly fun, it’s just the damage isn’t there.
ST doesn’t need all that much, just a small buff to literally anything would be nice.
AoE is a joke though, during Combustion it’s fine, but outside of it, I’m doing tank-level damage. Even with the talent that causes Hot Streaked Flamestrikes to do quadruple Ignite damage, since FS hits like a wet noodle, you get wet noodle Ignites too.
In my opinion fire mage is fun because its intense and you have to premeditate combos to have constant hotstreaks and i like the fact that aoe even needs that, however aoe on sunfury is just flamestrike every second filled with fireblast and phoenix. The disappointing fact was that frost mage throws an orb, casts a blizzard and its even more damage. Mate i had to combu that censored and literally have to combu every censored to have regular damage.
Thats why i went to frostfire build to timewalking and every other censored that has no full combu uptime to reduce the combu cd as much as possible. Its just supbar censored, but even more fun because you have more control and cometmeteor goes big and with sun kings blessing you can finally see a big number.
My guildmates are laughing on firemage because ignite is always in my top 1-2 damage whatever build i do.
“haha imagine being arms and your top damage is DEEP WOUNDS LMAO”
This same ignite thing ruins fire mage in pvp too. No direct damage, no threat. We can heal it later, btw just hit the guy when he pops burst cd and you will be fine as he has to run.
yes im mad. mad as censored
and kind of losing it
