I\ve been frost all the time, been playing around with fire a few times but haven't liked it before. This looks fun, nice video m8, easy guide to follow. New follower inc 🤩😊
Might be time for me to level my fire mage finally -- been having a lot of fun zugging as a Fury Warrior but the call of the ultimate slot machine build is calling to me
I was just curious what loadout add-on do you use in this video? I see that you’ve got wild head loadouts, and others on there. Please if you get time, let me know.
it takes a lot of practice to get it down well. the spec felt like shit for quite a while for me at least, but if you stick with it, you will be rewarded. i don't love it for pugging because it really needs big aoe pulls to truly shine. you have to coordinate with tanks as well. the nice thing about mage tho is you can just fall back on frost which is very nice for pugs. GL
Recently came back from BFA. Had been playing fire mage back the day. Came back and found out fire was not viable, until recently with the buffs. This guide is a great refresher!
@Preheat Is this guid still relevant ? Was looking to start gearing my mage, but with all the recent changes I'm not sure if this guide is still up to date for 11.0.5 ?
Thanks, for going over the basics aswell. Didn't touch fire since castle nathria. I had to seperate the Burden/Gi wa into two different colors tho, since i messed that up too much :P
Right now all 3 mage specs are just amazing gameplay For delves i always use frost though, but for m+ and raids i like to switch it up because i pretty much enjoy them equally
Hey, awesome guide, very nicely made, covered all the important parts. I was playing fire in WoD and legion and wanted to play it again, but when I saw fire performing badly at the start of the patch, I tried arcane, and it has its ups and downs, but fire is much more exciting to play, just a bunch of stuff to press and to watch, such a fun spec. I noticed that you keep jumping during combustion (I assume it is so as not to start casting pyro/flamestrike). Do you have any macro/addon for that or do you manually spam space?
As a fire mage, I tend to run living bomb in my+ content. The amount of bombs I have out at any given time is quite insane. I have had four living bombs rolling on a crowd all at the same time. It was quite a show
The Lit Fuse build down the right side of the tree has no Pyroblast modifiers, so Pyros are so weak. Although it sims as a little higher dps for a group of mobs for me, the little to no boss damage make it unplayable for me in M+, especially Tyrannical weeks.
Hello thanks for a really great guide! A quick question regarding the ST rotation where you go Fireball -> Fireblast + Comb (at the same time) do you macro these two abilities togheter? having a hard time to nail two instant spells togheter... what am i doing wrong? :D
Love the guides mate! Just a quick question, at the beginning of the AOE portion of the video you mention using PF and then casting scorch into combust and fireblast, would you actually need that fireblast into the scorch since you already have a heating up going? If so what is the reason for that?
What if, outside of combustion, use a phoenix to proc the talent for a stronger flamestrike, hard cast flamestrike(-1.5sec cast) - blast in cast - and we get 2 flamestrike. Wouldn't this be more useful than just throwing PF and Blast?
This sounds sort of like double dipping nether precision as arcane (if you do it with 1 charge left), I'm interested to know if this works the same way for Majesty of the Phoenix?
I’m new to mage in general but trying to get better and understand the spec and I’m sure I prob just missed it but why do you fireball/scorch before a combustion?
Hello guys, trying to shift to fire from arcane (I dont like spellslinger at all), but it seems the weakaura has a bug for me. The TWW FB FIX - FB3 shows a bug icon and also doesnt work, anyone with same issue?
Thanks a lot for all the guides - watched both your arcane and now this, it helps ALOT with your voiceover for what you do, and explaining it. One question on the spymaster, I do not see a WA tracking it, do you just check the corner of your screen for stacks, or do you just send it in m+?
@@Preheat haha mygod im blind.. thanks! Again really appreciate your guides on this, nearly skipped mage because of being so overwhelmed getting back into the game..
@Preheat why do you prefer shimmer over blink/ice flow? 12 sec cd removes stuns, roots, snares, and if you need to cast fireball you have ice flows. Never understood why people prefer shimmer.
Hey bro i have a silly question, if at the beginning of the combat there are 5 mobs i'll flamestrike, if one of them dies, i should be pyroing instead? Thanks so much for your videos, they are really helpful
Question, at 38:42 it's highlighted how important it is to have the cursor macro, but there is no explanation to why? I just got back from a break since Legion so i'm a bit behind on things 😂
Don't ever, EVER, bring politics into video games. We all know how certain gaming companies lean politically, but this is downright atrocious... what an absolute fail. Don't care if you're for Trump, Harris, [or 20 years behind and Nader] ....don't bring politics into video games. Happily expect subscriber count to drop massively, ggs.
Preheat! I love ur vids, but im feeling overwhelmed tih my mage right now, all 3 spects. I feel everytime i go vs a ret palading they out dps me no matter what i do. Mage feels unrewarding, and a 2 buttong class does better overall
My fire mage is 614 ilvl, which is pretty average, and will out dps almost any ret paladin over the course of a key, of course if you have packs where you don't have combust you will suffer, but you should beat ret comfortably.
Been thinking I need to play a flamestrike build in Ara kara atleast, ignite build does NOT do well in 10s at the moment. Kinda weird champ our mastery seems to have gone back to how it was in bfa lol, full circle!
hey thanks for the guide , i wanted to use the modified weakaura but nothing is loading and i cant see any icons or bars of weakaura due to having a lua error is there anyway to fix this issue ?
I am 37 years old and too old for this. It is way too complicated. I am not able to track so many things in rotation and try to dodge boss mechanics at the same time. Even if i do it perfectly im gonna do almost same dps with others. This is a game, I am playing it for chilling and run away from stress in real life. I dont need more stress. Thanks for the guide. I am gonna find a class works good with hekili.
it's very tough to pilot. what's even more annoying is people get upset when you're not popping off on big pulls because you didn't combust right and now you're basically worthless. "Fire is super op what's wrong with your dps?!?!" 'you've been removed from the group' the good news is you can always fall back to frost which is a lot easier to pull off.
you might like retribution paladin, really straight foward rotation and have cooldowns every 30 secs, feels amazing, specially on lower keys when tanks dont pull tons of mobs, you can pump every pull

while the song- as in the notes and lyrics etc- may be in public domain, do keep in mind that the specific performance you're hearing might not be.
Can you add timestamps please. Thanks for
the guides
@@artix1346 The version I used was a recording from an archive site specifically for hosting public domain songs.
Great to see Fire slowly creeping back up like Mariah Carrey getting ready for Christmas
💀🤣
"Oooooh~" *queue the Christmas bells*
Nice 😂
What do you think is melting her ice box?
iiIIIIII.. dont want a lot for Christmaaaaaass
Thanks for making these in depth guides. Takes me forever to learn a new spec and this helps alot.
Doing gods work for us fire mages and aspiring fire mages. Thank you!
I\ve been frost all the time, been playing around with fire a few times but haven't liked it before. This looks fun, nice video m8, easy guide to follow. New follower inc 🤩😊
As a complete Mage newbie i absolutely appreciate you for this video!
TY for the guide, I am really glad that with the buffs fire feels competitive again
I love the way fire plays
Thanks for the great content as always
doing wow for kamala is wild
It's certainly one way to make things worse, yeah.
Yea, what a trash move.
yeah fuck this guy. Mixing gaming with politics is just a douche move i hope everyone downvotes the shit out of him.
I burst into tears seeing this video pop up
Might be time for me to level my fire mage finally -- been having a lot of fun zugging as a Fury Warrior but the call of the ultimate slot machine build is calling to me
just what i need for tomorrows reset :), ty sir
this guide helped a ton, thanks!
Thanks a lot Preheat! I always love your guides! I still prefer arcane, but at least now I know I have options! :D
skipped right to opener, after 30 sec i ran to my guardian druid crying "im sorry, let me back"
such a great video thx for guide keep the harwork ❤
I was just curious what loadout add-on do you use in this video? I see that you’ve got wild head loadouts, and others on there. Please if you get time, let me know.
I really needed this. Been scared to pick up fire as I've never played it before, this was perfect. Thank you
Same, feel like it takes me forever to learn a new spec.
it takes a lot of practice to get it down well. the spec felt like shit for quite a while for me at least, but if you stick with it, you will be rewarded. i don't love it for pugging because it really needs big aoe pulls to truly shine. you have to coordinate with tanks as well. the nice thing about mage tho is you can just fall back on frost which is very nice for pugs.

Excellent service, recommended 10/10
Awesome! I'll get my fire fingers ready 😀
Would love an addon video as to how you setup your addons, its beautiful and I'm jealous.

@Preheat Is this guid still relevant ? Was looking to start gearing my mage, but with all the recent changes I'm not sure if this guide is still up to date for 11.0.5 ?
WERE BACK BABY!!!
what weak aura you are using ?
Fire mage till death, even if its not meta.
It’s the most fun spec to play and the asthetic is fantastic imo
Its meta now, highest logging mage spec in raids and M+
I've dont play fire since BC. Im ready again. TY!
Thanks, for going over the basics aswell. Didn't touch fire since castle nathria.
I had to seperate the Burden/Gi wa into two different colors tho, since i messed that up too much :P
24 seconds in and i already love this video. You get me, Preheat.
Right now all 3 mage specs are just amazing gameplay
For delves i always use frost though, but for m+ and raids i like to switch it up because i pretty much enjoy them equally
I hate frost spellslinger 🥲
Can anyone tell me health bar add on please
?
think its plater
@@Jawasnjawasn I mean for his health bar, players just for the mobs isn’t it ?
Great! Thanks alot. Will there be a Frost guide too any time soon? Your guides are deliscous
he already did one check it
Shadowlands S1 fire mage is back babyyyy
I miss the blaster master BfA days when it had no stacks and u cud get 8-10k+ mastery from managing ur fire blasts really well
What's the weak aura for the defensive things right under your health bar?
Its part of Luxthos weakaura pack. I use it. He has a modified one though where he dont show all utilities.
Hello preheat , this guide still work for SF even after the changes recently right ?
Subbed great vid ! How can I get your uni? Your health bar etc. it looks clean.

@@Preheat pretty though.
>.>
LB animations going off in a big group is one of the best feelings to watch imo
Why aren't we hard casting flamestrike instead of fireball on +5 targets? We even have a reduced cast time with Majesty of the Phoenix
In most cases you don't. You will have scorch targets or the pull will be over.
Wow has evolved so much over the years. Specs and boss fights have become more and more complicated. So much so that I can't keep up anymore
Death, taxes, fire mage being the best mage spec
It's not tho, all 3 are pretty even
I hope!
Hello thanks for a really great guide! A quick question regarding the ST rotation where you go Fireball -> Fireblast + Comb (at the same time) do you macro these two abilities togheter? having a hard time to nail two instant spells togheter... what am i doing wrong? :D
"pyroblast does a lot of damage" laughs in 10 million damage arcane barrage
What health bars are you using? I normally don't modify mine but yours are very clean. Great in-depth video btw

I was thinking the same, this is my aoe opener I use today and easily get 2.5mil+ DPS in raid trash pulls(with combustion of course)
I’m new to mage in general but trying to get better and understand the spec and I’m sure I prob just missed it but why do you fireball/scorch before a combustion?
Hello guys, trying to shift to fire from arcane (I dont like spellslinger at all), but it seems the weakaura has a bug for me. The TWW FB FIX - FB3 shows a bug icon and also doesnt work, anyone with same issue?
What's your thoughts on fire mage over the other mage specs M+ wise where do you think it stands?
Is there any way to get your ability bar Weakaura between your player and enemy healthbar? I think the one linked in the description is a full UI pack
How do you have the night fae appearance for shifting power?
Will there be a frost guide?
Thanks a lot for all the guides - watched both your arcane and now this, it helps ALOT with your voiceover for what you do, and explaining it. One question on the spymaster, I do not see a WA tracking it, do you just check the corner of your screen for stacks, or do you just send it in m+?
WA is to the left of my character frame
@@Preheat haha mygod im blind.. thanks! Again really appreciate your guides on this, nearly skipped mage because of being so overwhelmed getting back into the game..
Is the flamestrike build better for m+ or is the ST/Ignite spreading build viable as well?
Your Healthbar looks clean... which unitframe addon do you use?
Fire mage now is playable even by the noobiest of the noobs like myself. Last time I tried it was in Shadowlands and it was so unforgiven.
@Preheat why do you prefer shimmer over blink/ice flow? 12 sec cd removes stuns, roots, snares, and if you need to cast fireball you have ice flows. Never understood why people prefer shimmer.
Do you fireball in AOE when nothing’s up to reduce your combustion cooldown? Is it ever worth to hardcast flamestrike instead?
Hey bro i have a silly question, if at the beginning of the combat there are 5 mobs i'll flamestrike, if one of them dies, i should be pyroing instead?
Thanks so much for your videos, they are really helpful
Where is our aug video 😢
ilvl 608 here and Arcane does 15% more DPS (single target) than Fire for me (simmed via Raidbots). Will Fire only be viable with higher ilvl?
You might have geared aimed towards Arcane stat priority which could pull it further away. But Fires main appeal is AOE
I kind of find arcane boring since the simplified it and dumbed it downs. Fire just feels so much better
When do you switch to flamestrike over pyroblast? 2 target? 3?4?
He says early on, Pyro 4 or less, Firestrike 5+
So for M+ fire can be pretty nuts too right?
Question, at 38:42 it's highlighted how important it is to have the cursor macro, but there is no explanation to why? I just got back from a break since Legion so i'm a bit behind on things 😂
Why do you need a phd to have fun?
What are you using for these clean unit frames?
Kind of feel bad for Fireball. Feels like it hardly gets any use like it used to.
@preheat Does the 7% damage amp from Improved Scorch apply with heat shimmer proc above 30%?
im confused at the recommendation to run the flamestrike build in m+. for me it sucks a lot and the ignite build has been doing much better
For M+, Ignite build or Flamestrike build?
Don't ever, EVER, bring politics into video games. We all know how certain gaming companies lean politically, but this is downright atrocious... what an absolute fail. Don't care if you're for Trump, Harris, [or 20 years behind and Nader] ....don't bring politics into video games. Happily expect subscriber count to drop massively, ggs.
Hate to break it to ya, but politics is already in video games lmao
y0 im main arcane, but i wanna taste fire. I have a problem on spelque fireblast-combustion. It dindt work for me
Do mages ever run mass invis for skips or is it different from how rogue cloak works?
Sensational
what's that sound that tells you what do to when you use the transmitter trinket?
whats the rotation tracker called?
When the Fire frostfire guide? :O
can anyone tell me the addon for the Rotation tracking plz ? =)
I read that the AoE for fire mage is still just pyro and using fire blast to spread ignite. Should I be using flame strike instead of pyro in aoe?
There is two different builds. Ignite is better
What about Fateweaver ? Is it good weapon for fire ?
Will be fire steoger than arcane/ frost in m+?
Great video! Where does the "HARD CASTING PYRO" warning come from?

Depends on key level. If you’re doing a +3, yes a ret will outdps because they got instant burst and things die fast
Definitely rotational issues, practice on dummies and you'll improve!
Stop crying and learn to play better.
Dumb comment
Frost Mage next ? ;) Ty for this type of video
DR must not hurt that bad for haste. The guy top ranking mythic parses has 20500 haste and about 9k mastery
Been thinking I need to play a flamestrike build in Ara kara atleast, ignite build does NOT do well in 10s at the moment. Kinda weird champ our mastery seems to have gone back to how it was in bfa lol, full circle!
Sad to see flamestrike is now an important spell again for AOE, I really like fire mage, but hate flamestrike.
Hey will come some 1 Click Makros from you too :)
Can you make one for frost
Doesn’t heat simmer also increase your damage to the target when ever it procs if you have the appropriate talents?
yes it does
yes but the talent is still basically the same dps as a passive one and requires you to pay attention to an extra debuff outside of execute.
@@Preheat Ah, got it. Understood. Makes sense.
So is the ignite spread aoe Build dead now?
hey thanks for the guide , i wanted to use the modified weakaura but nothing is loading and i cant see any icons or bars of weakaura due to having a lua error is there anyway to fix this issue ?
You need to delete your current one before installing. Updating regular Luxthos into my modified one will do that.
Hopefully this makes Fire more popular because I’m enjoying Arcane but I hate being a normie 💀
I am 37 years old and too old for this. It is way too complicated. I am not able to track so many things in rotation and try to dodge boss mechanics at the same time.

We’re finally free of preheat just posting arcane videos because it’s meta
That's were you're wrong, kiddo. I will never stop posting Arcane content.
What’s that transmog!?
