WoW generic Change suggestion and fire rework Suggestion
. FOR MIDNIGHT
I would really appreciate discussion about it — even more from Alpha testers.
Generic Mage Change
New Talent or Dual Talent:
Explosive Potential:
After casting your Barrier, your next Blink or Shimmer will cause Blast Wave at your previous location (Blast Wave effects the same as already is at Midnight).
This effect can occur once every 30 seconds.
Fire Mage Spell Ideas
Flamestrike:
Learned by spec in Fire. Damage becomes 128% of your spell power.
Meteor:
Cooldown is affected by haste.
Fire Orb
- 15 sec cooldown — Instant cast
- Creates a fire orb at target location that hits the target for 34% SP damage and all others within 8 yards for 29% SP.
- After spawning, the fire orb will pursue the target slowly for 5 seconds, hitting all targets within 8 yards for 28.5% SP fire damage every second.
- All damage sources from fire orb apply one stack of Fire Vulnerability each time they hit.
- Fire Orb (only during spawn damage to the primary target) affects Hot Streak.
- Haste affects Fire Orb cooldown.
- Fire Orb damage contributes toward Ignite.
Fire Vulnerability:
Each stack increases Fire spells and Ignite damage by 2%, up to 4 stacks.
Duration: 12 seconds. Each new stack refreshes the timer.
Phoenix Flames
- Cooldown: 18 seconds
- Deals 76% SP damage to primary target and 54% SP to all targets within 8 yards (including primary).
- Reduced damage beyond 8 targets.
- After explosion, the Phoenix remains for 2 seconds, making your Ignite apply 350% faster to all targets within range.
- Phoenix Flames always critically strikes (both projectile and explosion).
- Primary target damage only contributes toward Hot Streak; both contribute toward Ignite.
- Haste does not affect cooldown.
Talents Reworked
Controlled Destruction:
Also affects and affected by Pyroblast and Fireball the same way as Ignite. Critical hits from these spells generate twice as many stacks.
Fervent Flickering:
Fireblast now spreads 100% of your target’s Ignite to 1 enemy and decreases cooldown by 1 second.
Fire Iris:
Now 3/6% (from 2.5/5%).
Blast Zone:
Also affects Fire Orb damage.
Deep Impact:
Decreases Meteor cooldown by 10 seconds and Meteor applies 2 stacks of Fire Vulnerability to up to 8 targets near center.
Frantic Speed:
Triggers from both Pyroblast and Fireball hitting enemies with 30% or less HP.
Ignition:
Fire spell criticals apply 20% more Ignite. Flamestrike applies 30% more Ignite.
Scald:
When Fireball critically hits, you have 20% chance (or 100% if target is under Firestarter/Scorch threshold based on talent choice) to gain Scald for 8s.
While you have Scald:
- You can cast Fireball while moving.
- The next Fireball consumes Scald, dealing 30% increased damage (+10% more vs targets under threshold of your talent choice).
Feel the Burn, From the Ashes, and Fired Up (Apex talents):
Affect and are affected by Phoenix Flames same way as Fireblast.
Surge Blaze:
Damage becomes 5%, also affects Fire Orb damage.
Casting Pyroblast or Flamestrike decreases Fire Orb cooldown by 0.5s.
Firestarter:
Fireball always critically strikes targets above 90% HP and fireball always has 10% increased critical damage.
Scorch:
Fireball always critically strikes and applies one stack of Fire Vulnerability to targets below 30% HP.
Fuel the Fire:
Bonus damage per target becomes 4%, capping at 20% (5 targets).
Talents Removed
- Flame Patch
- Flamestrike
- Spontaneous Combustion
- Fiery Rush
- Intensifying Flames
New Talents
Fire Orb:
(Effects described above.)
Fire Exposure (2 ranks):
Fire Vulnerability stacks makes your Fire spell have increased critical chance by 1.5% / 3% per stack.
While Combustion is active, Fire Vulnerability increases your Fire spell critical damage by 1.5% / 3% of total crit chance the fire spell has.
(Example a target with 4 stacks of fire valnurebility while fire exposure is level 2 will have 12% additional chances to get hit by critical strike from your fire spells, if you have a total of 38% critical chances a fire spell would would have 50% chances to score a crirical ( 38 + 12) during combustion will get an additional 100% because of combustion . so a total of 150% virtual critical chance that will be translate into 18% increased critical damage (12% of the 150). for a spell like fireblast or phoenix flames that have gurantee critical strike the critical chances will not treated as an 100% extra..)
Phoenix Flames:
(Effects as described above.)
Flame Extender:
Whenever your Flamestrike center hits inside Fire Orb or Meteor ground radius, extend their duration by 1s (max 3s).
Tactical Flamestrike / Homing Flamestrike:
- Tactical Flamestrike: Casts to cursor, increases damage by 40%, applies Path of Flame (same as Flame Patch).
- Homing Flamestrike: Casts to target, increases damage by 50% (primary) and 20% (others), slows up to 6 targets by 30% for 3s.
Spontaneous Combustion / Exposure Combustion:
- Spontaneous Combustion: Casting Combustion restores 2 charges of Fireblast; while active, Phoenix Flame & Fireblast recharge 50% faster.
- Exposure Combustion: While Combustion is active:
- Fire Vulnerability stacks applied are doubled.
- Fire spells gain double Fire Vulnerability damage bonus.
- Pyroblast & Flamestrike refresh Fire Vulnerability duration.
Fire Nerfs
- Fireball: 270% SP (was 300%)
- Pyroblast: 432% SP (was 460%)
- Fireblast: 128.6% SP (was 132%)
- Pyroclasm: +220% (was 230%)
Sunfury
New Talent (at Explosive Potential location)
Al’ar Reborn:
Fire:
After Arcane Phoenix is summoned, recharge Phoenix Flames cooldown.
Next Phoenix Flames (while Arcane Phoenix active & within 8 yards) becomes Al’ar Flames.
Arcane:
After Arcane Phoenix summoned, recharge one Arcane Orb.
Next Arcane Orb (while within 8 yards) becomes Al’ar Orb — cast by your Phoenix.
Al’ar Orb
- Instant cast by Arcane Phoenix.
- Deals +27.2% SP fire damage.
- On hit: Phoenix consumes orb, blinks to it, and explodes for 61% SP within 10 yards, applying Lit Fuse to up to 4 targets.
- Castable while casting, unaffected by GCD.
- Does not affect Orb Mastery talent.
Al’ar Flames
- Same base as Phoenix Flames.
- Primary target +15% damage, explosion +30%.
- Castable while casting, unaffected by GCD.
- Phoenix moves to target location instead of new projectile generation.
- Explosion applies Lit Fuse (instead of Ignite acceleration).
Lit Fuse
Deals 3 × (12% SP) fire damage over 3s, then explodes for 26% SP to target and reduced damage to others within 10 yards.
Does not spread further.
Fire:
- DoT doesn’t apply Ignite, but is affected and affects by anything that affects Ignite.
- Explosion contributes to Ignite, always crits, but doesn’t affect Hot Streak.
Arcane:
- Lit Fuse DoT increased based on Arcane Salvo stacks when applied.
- Each Lit fuse Explosion generates 1 Arcane Charge.
Lessons in Debilitation
New: Anything Arcane Phoenix steals is transferred to its caster.
(Or alternative: Arcane Phoenix casts Gravity Lapse only when first summoned.)
Spellfire Spheres (Rework)
- Generate 2 Spellfire Shards per second (6 out of combat).
- Haste increases generation rate.
- At 50 shards, consume 50 of them to generate 1 Spellfire Sphere.
- Cannot generate shards at max spheres.
Fire: Consuming Hot Streak generates 20 shards.
Arcane: Damaging spells have 50% chance to generate 25 shards.
Spell damage per sphere remains unchanged.
