I tried it for a few mythic runs and while sometimes it makes really solid damage on packs - with no combustion on a pack i make almost tank level damage. This inconsistency is ultimately causing the overall perdormance to be way less then the “hype” that people are talking about fire in youtube nowdays - what am i missing?
Also off topic - arcane was way more fun and its garbage now.
Since Shadowlands Fire gameplay has not changed much. All the dps still comes from Combustion window and without Combustion the dps is a healer level. I stopped playing mage since i don’t enjoy Fire and Frost gameplay and Arcane got destroyed. Sunfury Arcane version of the begining of season 1 was the best arcane gameplay. It was fun and dynamic. The Fire dps will only shine if you get very big pulls and you are good at spamming flamestrike at cursor.
It performs good and will only get better with the tier set. There are alot of mages trying to learn it atm, its not an easy spec by any means, but really strong s tier dmg with best mobility.
