I absolutely love your content! First seen you in the Mage Deep Dive with Crix and since then consumed all the stuff you are creating. Keep up the great work, your guides are phenomenal! Well structured, easy to understand yet always more than just scratching the surface :)
A very important point about switching from arcane to fire which you didnt mention is the 3% dmg buff arcane brings. Realizing how bad ret paladins are my guild is droping them so one mage always needs to be arcane
one of my favorite content creators for wow and my favorite role mage! I've been absolutely addicted to fire and never look at frost spec again.. but I look forward to sticking with it in wotlk and can't wait to see it's potential grow as I progress
This video hurt my soul. Just finished all 25 man raids, turning tide dropped, i was gonna get it, but something weird happened and we didnt notice it because we were busy going to the next raid, the sword was left to rot on the corpse, never to be seen again. Ulduar has some nice weapons, guess i'll just wait for that instead.
Great video. I am curious as to why you prefer the glove off-set as opposed to the chest, as it seems the chest off-set is what's considered BiS. I have been running sims and the chest still seems to perform better, assuming we swap the gemmed wand with archlich.
I know this probably won't get read but can you show what add-ons you use to highlight your Living bomb and trinket proc/ duration and possibly how to set it up. I honestly think it would increase my dmg even more and I'm usually the top dps each fight.
head to my discord and check pins in my weakauras channel. The LB and hotstreak weakauras I use now on live are all posted there. For other buffs thats all through tellmewhen and I'll update my profile for that soon in the addons channel. Cheers
so if we get kiss of the spider as our arcane bis we would swap it out for sundial for playing fire in phase 2? or continue using kiss? awesome vid btw.
oh I should've covered the nuance there my apologies. For fire for a 6 min fight or longer you could use either trinket (sim the same), and then for shorter fights embrace of the spider should be better. Sundial is pretty decent for fire though so if you don't end up picking up embrace, not a big deal.
Yo man, love your videos, u just give so much information, but im looking for so long for a fire mage/frostfire mage guide and i cant find any, can you make or give me some tips, tyvm!!
Hey man, quick question On short fight, where you know you won't use icy veins twice, isn't it better not to pre pot to actually stack everything with BL ? Ty for content :)
The only thing that determines whether you should pre-pot or not is whether the fight is long enough to allow for a 2nd potion after the pre-pot. Which means the fight needs to last 68 seconds or longer, and if so, then it's more DPS to pre-pot so you can get 2 potions off. Icy Veins is a 144s cd and doesn't change whether you should pre-pot.
Hey man! I know you mentioned that somewhere is your videos, but cant find it rn! Can you paste me macro for arcane blast, which allow you to spam it after Arcane missiles but not canceling 'em? thank you very much, keep up good work! Mages4life
I know its an old video but is engi really worth it for mages once u replace your googles? Does hyperspeed gloves really outperform the 46 sp u get as an enchanter on rings?
For single target, it depends on fight length and the difference isn't huge and can go either way based on that. They're roughly the same for ST. However engineering allows for saronite bombs/sappers for AOE which is a huge plus, as well as nitro boots, which on certain fights with a lot of movement can be a lot of additional dps. Toss in the extra perks of wormhole, reviving ppl with gnomish army knife, AH in dalaran, portable mailbox, and Jeeves come P3, and Engineering is truly BIS. It gives the most for AOE, on par or better for ST tank and spank (gives better burst than other profs too which is great for burn phases), better than other profs on fights with movement, and has all the extra little perks that it does.
Im not sure if it'll be updated for wotlk, but Pawn has statweights for comparing gear and it'll show if gear is an upgrade and by how much. Simming is always the best but pawn is ok for a general overview
@@Crateria im goin thro all ur vids now if we boost straight to 80 do we have to do any of the wotlk quests or will there be something we miss be skippin em all
@@tye8109 nah just do sons of hodir at 79 and get reps at 80 through heroics. You may have to do some quests with certain reps to get friendly to get the rep's tabard but with the tabard you can just wear that in heroics to get rep with that faction.
I should clarify, none are pre-bis but the Illusion card (+100 sp) is about as good as the badge trinket. But wouldn't recommend crafting it or anything.
How is Titanium Spellshock Ring rated so low in sims? I dont get it, it has 83 spell power and 42 crit rating, Seized Beauty has less of everything, what am i missing? Also, can you please explain why is Spell Power favored over crit so much? If we dont crit we dont hot streak and ignite. Having alot of SP but not critting is bad, having less SP with more crit seems better to me.
Eightyupgrades isn't a sim, it just goes by simple stat weights which is why you can't use it to compare gear. I'm simply using eightyupgrades as a way to showcase the gear. Titanium spellshock is a decent ring, it's just not as good as others for pre-bis because fights are short so haste is better than crit (and there are much better rings for P1 BIS). SP is good because it always gives you value. You can sim your stat weights to see how different stats weigh against each other, and you can then see how they change based on fight duration and other factors. You can't simply go by "we need crit for hotstreak".

i explain why in the personal gearing route
You look so much like the professional arm wrestler Devon Larratt! :D
Love your videos! Keep them coming
I wonder why most 'Bis' for fire has no crit? With low crit chance how do a decent DMG?
I know this probably won't get read but can you show what add-ons you use to highlight your Living bomb and trinket proc/ duration and possibly how to set it up. I honestly think it would increase my dmg even more and I'm usually the top dps each fight.

P2 BiS video when?
Did any of this take into account the loot changes they revealed a few days ago? With 25man items dropping from 10 man as new tiers drop.
No, was thinking it would get too confusing and by then phase 2 will be out with its own bis list.
I enjoy your content really much! What do you buy first with the raid emblems? Shoulders make most sence? Greetings :)
depends on your gear, upgrade whatever piece is worse imo, you'll have all the badge upgrades in a few weeks
ty for the content
Yo man, love your videos, u just give so much information, but im looking for so long for a fire mage/frostfire mage guide and i cant find any, can you make or give me some tips, tyvm!!
Yes I planned to before wrath but life got in the way. Def my priority once Naxx launch is over this weekend!
Does slow fall really work for illustration?
thx for the video :)
yes i stack every fight befor we pull the boss :)
Can I ask you did you set up equivalency points by yourself?
Yes, the EQ were taken from my sim settings. You should always sim your own stat weights
@@Crateria i have simulations website for TBC. Is available simulations website for WOLTK?
Are the eightyupgrade pages not working for anyone else?

@@Crateria ty for reply ❤
in our p1 bis unbuffed crit is only 16%?
I have enough emblem of valor for the shoulders. But I always have the urge to save emblems. is there any reason to save them?
nope, buy them shoulders!
top 3 items to prioritise? after dying curse?
dying curse and tt are biggest, after that wanton legs if going fire in p2, or maybe signet or pennant cloak

I ended up getting the boots of impetuous ideals and equipped them without even looking at the cost on the ah lol.
oof, but still they're great hit boots! Not a loss at all, gz
@@Crateria Hey Crateria, Impetual ideals boots are actually decently cheap on my server, should I pick them up over Xintors ?
@@adlashr sure, xintor are mainly just good for fire. If you're going hit boot route for arcane then you want impetuous

Im not sure if it'll be updated for wotlk, but Pawn has statweights for comparing gear and it'll show if gear is an upgrade and by how much. Simming is always the best but pawn is ok for a general overview
from lvling to 70-80 thro dung, is fire or arc better? our comp is double mage, boomy, resto sham ret tank
arcane

if we boost straight to 80 do we have to do any of the wotlk quests or will there be something we miss be skippin em all
