Hey hansol, does fire mages still have the 2set bonus which increases the cast time/crit chance of your fireball by 15%, stackable 3 times or is it removed with something new? If it isnt removed, wouldnt it be better to play with Flare Up since you'll use scorch to position for a setup and then'll have the increased fireball cast time anyway?
IMO it would be smart to use atleast one pheonix flames to keep the cd going, but I agree with hansol using fire blast first since it has a lot shorter cd and is a lot better for setups since u can use it midcast + off gcd
I've never played a mage before, but I made a fire one after seeing some of your other Legion vids and I'm absolutely loving it! I'm excited for more Legion content from you.
However small or inconsistent content you have chucked out Hansol, i've always enjoyed your uploads. Looking forward to more spicy videos in the new expansion!
I played Fire throughout Cata and there weren't many back then haha. I've been using this burst combo and it's super satisfying to see a top mage confirming it's viability. Bebep used to be my hero, but as far as I can tell he doesn't play anymore. Your vids are awesome and super informative, thanks and keep it up!
Is that an add-on at around 1:44 where it shows up the "Heating Up" and also more in the video it shows other things coming up in the same area as the "Heating Up" thing
I decided I'd try out fire since I was frost while leveling. This helped me a lot, & now I'm part of a HUGE guild that does raids a lot. Increased my damaged by 10% lol
Hey Hansol! Great video =) Just to point out, so you dont get confused. You dont get 100% crit chance with Combustion, you get a 100% increase crit chance stat. So if you have let's say 35% chance to crit, you get 70% chance! Which is basically crits every pyro anyway! Anyway - just thought I should tell you =) have a great day!
hey great vid i was just wondering what the addon is that is telling you when heating up and hot streak are good in the middle of your screen im kinda new to addons and that looks really usefull
I'm so happy you're back Hansol! I am kind of upset to see all mages turning over to fire especially since MoP I have been kind of a rare breed, but I guess we'll just have to show all those flavor players eh!?
Hi Hansol. I just started playing WoW, your videos are helping, thanks :D Question: If I have Combustion up and I am casting Fireball + Fire Blast, what do I cast next?? If I wait until Fireball hits I will be able to cast Pyroblast since is a guaranteed crit, but I will lose some time. Should I cast something else and cast Pyro after? But that way I will have 3 crits in a row and I feel like I am not getting as many Hot Streaks as possible.
Hey Hansol, just came back to fire mage for legion. Watching your videos, I don't ever see you cast scorch, is scorch useless now? In what instance would you use it?
Fire Mages are sooo damn lucky in Legion, cuz they still look fun to play and they have some neat damage. Destro is practically dead when it comes to fun gameplay. RIP Chaos Bolts and Incinerates D: Anyhow, nice vid Hansol! Keep it up man ^^
Hello Hansol! Have you been playing Arcane spec a couple of days ago? I was playing Random BG and saw an Undead mage with the name "Hanzol"? I was just wondering if that was you?
Hansol, do you think it is stupid to have a stopcasting macro on your pyroblast ? because you can with a mistake loading a fireball, spamming on the pyroblast buttom, cancel the fireball, and then you have less burst, if you understand. I would apreciate a answer and what are you doing ? what are your macros for those situations ?
Not to like be that "know it all" guy but some of the mechanics changed with pyro, flamestrike, and ignite and I feel it's important enough to actually address it in a vid because they are subtle changes but not too subtle to not talk ab them. Just a suggestion - awesome vid!
Hey there, cool guide:) can't wait for legion, fire mages on prepatch are far from being good atm. Got a question tho - did u try using flare up talent? Thought I'll be using it for that extra fire blast, especially that u can get it back after using it, so that's like havin 4 fire blasts
I mained frost since the pom pyro stopped being a thing like 8 years ago. I might try fire this xpac but I have to say all those instant cast and crits look so op that im afraid it might get nerfed to the ground after some time into legion.
Love my fire mage, but at iLvl 710 I am still extremely weak, I can't kill one monster during a quest without having to eat afterwards, and the damage I am sending out isn't really enough to make up for the lack of defense. I hope it gets better as I level up
Want to really know how to fire burst Hansol? Try the following order in exact order fireball combustion(when fire ball is mid flight) fireblast pyroblast fireblast pyroblast flame on, fireblast pyroblast fireblast pyroblast meteor phoenix flames Essentially you get to make your 4 fireblasts cause 4 free insta pyroblasts.. throw some extra burst at end with meteor and some phoenix flames
Hansol my brother, i watch you vids since you almost start uploading it (i was fire aswell) but the last two years im playing boomy. I reccomend you to make some guides that fires can play togheter, like spicychicken (wich will be rly strong in legion)... Somehow to show up why your viewers should play fire at all and learn how to use their char as a support, when to dmg, when to cross cc for teamates on arena. THAT WILL BE REALLY COOL! Could you do something like that? U would just get my life easier! im looking for a good fire or frost to push 2700 for the first time this season :) Like this comment to make sure he will see it if u wanr something like that. Thanks all
+Hansol I think he's asking for matches which you commentate over, explaining what you do in terms off cc/setup when you play with a boomy teammate, on your fire mage
I don't see how its clunky, phoenix flames is an instant cast mini pyro that always crits. I think of it like have 3 more charges of fire blast that has splash damage.
The artifact spell works differently. With Inferno Blast you could keep casting your fireball with the Heating Up and just Inferno after the cast and it would give you the free Pyro Blast. Phoenix Flames has a longer travel time so it will hit after the fireball if used in the same way as Inferno Blast.
Stefan After playing a little bit of pvp Scorch seems to be a very unreliable hot streak finisher. With our crit at around 40% because of pvp template you more often than not just lose your hot streak.The spell seems a little bit useless at this point. It doesn't slow either anymore so we can't even use it to create some distance between us and current mongo melee. Either our mobility and survivability has to be buffed or (leather) melee has to be nerfed.
Hansol, you should try to level your mage up on the Beta so you can plan out your Artifact talent pathing. It'll take at least 6 months or so to farm all the Artifact Power necessary to fill out your entire artifact. Make a video on it and let us know what you think would be the most optimal path choices for PVP so we can turn arenas and battlegrounds into a violent conflagration of crimson splendor.
The text on combustion says increase your crit chance by 100%. so if you have 40% crit it will go up to 80%. you will need atleast 50% crit for it to become guaranteed. is this correct?
I love my mage, started out in BC as a mage. Fell off in Wotlk and went DK full time (Frost) and ultimately leveled every class. Now Mage has my attention again since MoP off and On. I feel the embers flaring up bro. lol
Here's my first guide for Legion. Learn my minions.. learn! Leave requests on what you wanna see next. You might get lucky :))
shouldn't you alterante between phoenix flames and flame blasts so that both of them are on cooldown recharging?
Hello, do the fire mage duel events 5v5 and go first. i want to see you getting 5v1 like in the WOD, but this time it is going to be challenging.
Hey hansol, does fire mages still have the 2set bonus which increases the cast time/crit chance of your fireball by 15%, stackable 3 times or is it removed with something new?
If it isnt removed, wouldnt it be better to play with Flare Up since you'll use scorch to position for a setup and then'll have the increased fireball cast time anyway?
IMO it would be smart to use atleast one pheonix flames to keep the cd going, but I agree with hansol using fire blast first since it has a lot shorter cd and is a lot better for setups since u can use it midcast + off gcd
where is my cute asian boy cam?
I've never played a mage before, but I made a fire one after seeing some of your other Legion vids and I'm absolutely loving it! I'm excited for more Legion content from you.

love how much content you've been pumping out lately man, especially with the streams and your crappy internet. Keep up the good work man!
You and one other UA-camr are the only 2 I can actually sit through the whole video with not wanting to unsub. Ily dad and keep being my fav Asian
Switched from being a warrior main since vanilla to fire mage for legion, they look SO cool now! Already having tons of fun in prepatch :)! Great vid.
it's really cool to see that you are more active on youtube currently ... love your vids :)
Is that an add-on at around 1:44 where it shows up the "Heating Up" and also more in the video it shows other things coming up in the same area as the "Heating Up" thing
well fk you then
Wow, this legion expansion seems really cool, i actually might start playing again. Partly thanks to your videos. Keep up the good work.
I decided I'd try out fire since I was frost while leveling. This helped me a lot, & now I'm part of a HUGE guild that does raids a lot. Increased my damaged by 10% lol
Sick that you are back dude. Keep going, I love the content!
Thanks dude. I'm gonna be posting a mix of different type of shit. Guides, raw gameplay, commentary, fun stream highlights, vlogs. :)
You can give me a link to a photo of an undead mage fire? I not find one
yo I like these constant uploads, the pyromaniac is back, keep it up!
Hey Hansol! Great video =)
Just to point out, so you dont get confused. You dont get 100% crit chance with Combustion, you get a 100% increase crit chance stat. So if you have let's say 35% chance to crit, you get 70% chance! Which is basically crits every pyro anyway!
Anyway - just thought I should tell you =) have a great day!
hey great vid i was just wondering what the addon is that is telling you when heating up and hot streak are good in the middle of your screen im kinda new to addons and that looks really usefull
I'm so happy you're back Hansol! I am kind of upset to see all mages turning over to fire especially since MoP I have been kind of a rare breed, but I guess we'll just have to show all those flavor players eh!?
I've never been a big PVPer before. But that Belf flavored tier 19 makes me need it.
Hi Hansol. I just started playing WoW, your videos are helping, thanks :D
Question: If I have Combustion up and I am casting Fireball + Fire Blast, what do I cast next??
If I wait until Fireball hits I will be able to cast Pyroblast since is a guaranteed crit, but I will lose some time. Should I cast something else and cast Pyro after? But that way I will have 3 crits in a row and I feel like I am not getting as many Hot Streaks as possible.
Hello from Russia. Thx a lot, man for explaning fire mage burst. I really appreciate it. Good job!
Great guide man! really loving the uploads!
Good job Hansol! Can't wait till your next video :)
Long time since you showed us your binds, can you make an updated video for legion?
Hey Hansol, just came back to fire mage for legion. Watching your videos, I don't ever see you cast scorch, is scorch useless now? In what instance would you use it?
Neat, looking real spicy my boi. We now need some spicy fire xmogs.
Been waitin for this guide for weeks ;)
Fire Mages are sooo damn lucky in Legion, cuz they still look fun to play and they have some neat damage. Destro is practically dead when it comes to fun gameplay. RIP Chaos Bolts and Incinerates D:
Anyhow, nice vid Hansol! Keep it up man ^^
Voice sounds crispy af. Thumbs up.
Hey Hansol,
With witch class you have most problems in 1v1 ?
It's true fire mage can beat all other race in 1v1 ?
Hi Hansol, What do you think of flamestrike spec?Seems very good to double melee to me.Keep the nice vids coming man !
Fire mage looks amazing in legion looking forward to seeing you burning shit when the game's not in beta
Hansol the real OG
Thanks for the guide, very helpful.
hey man i was wondering if you could do a addon video again would like to see what you use.
Ok Morty *burp* :)
Hello Hansol!
Have you been playing Arcane spec a couple of days ago? I was playing Random BG and saw an Undead mage with the name "Hanzol"?
I was just wondering if that was you?
what advice would you give to a new mage, in particular @Hansol.
What do you think of Flare up for the extra flame blast/refund instead of tinder? Wouldn't that be better for even more pyros
what do you think about the flame strike build vs double melees?
new fav streamer
How you get the text with heating up/hot streak?
your the best mage i ever seen ., thanks for showing so much i have learn alot froom you .,
Hansol, do you think it is stupid to have a stopcasting macro on your pyroblast ? because you can with a mistake loading a fireball, spamming on the pyroblast buttom, cancel the fireball, and then you have less burst, if you understand. I would apreciate a answer and what are you doing ? what are your macros for those situations ?
So Hansol, which patch do you think fire mages were the most fun to play?
4.3 ofc xD
vanilla. poly>arcane power> pyro > pom > pyro = win
will there be more t-shirts for sale anytime soon? :p
Do you use scorch? i didnt really see you use it
can you do a pve burst rotation... you explain stuff so much better then any one else
Duels dont use the PVP modifiers tho do they??
What 2v2 and 3v3 comps will be the best for legion? Please answer
How do you vs a feral druid or rogue? I always get ganked by them
Does Flamecannon still proc if you use Shimmer?
Not to like be that "know it all" guy but some of the mechanics changed with pyro, flamestrike, and ignite and I feel it's important enough to actually address it in a vid because they are subtle changes but not too subtle to not talk ab them. Just a suggestion - awesome vid!
Hey there, cool guide:) can't wait for legion, fire mages on prepatch are far from being good atm. Got a question tho - did u try using flare up talent? Thought I'll be using it for that extra fire blast, especially that u can get it back after using it, so that's like havin 4 fire blasts
Yup flare up is awesome too.
I mained frost since the pom pyro stopped being a thing like 8 years ago. I might try fire this xpac but I have to say all those instant cast and crits look so op that im afraid it might get nerfed to the ground after some time into legion.
you were right...
it didnt get nerfed?....
It did, dragon's breath got it's cc reduced from 5 to 3 seconds, and fireball went from %150 down to %75 damage. (Both changes only for pvp)
Do you ever use scorch anymore?
Nice vid. the burst looks real
he is back!
Hansol how did you get that transmog, it seems only the blue version is available :/
it was only available in cata its gone now you cant get it
Thats why I hate blizzard. THEY HAVE NO REASON TO REMOVE COOL SETS FROM THE GAME! SUCH AS FCKIN WOD CHALLENGE GEAR!!!!!!!!!!
it's a reward from old players.
Iron milk git gud and git rewarded
Love my fire mage, but at iLvl 710 I am still extremely weak, I can't kill one monster during a quest without having to eat afterwards, and the damage I am sending out isn't really enough to make up for the lack of defense. I hope it gets better as I level up
Want to really know how to fire burst Hansol?
Try the following order in exact order
fireball
combustion(when fire ball is mid flight)
fireblast
pyroblast
fireblast
pyroblast
flame on,
fireblast
pyroblast
fireblast
pyroblast
meteor
phoenix flames
Essentially you get to make your 4 fireblasts cause 4 free insta pyroblasts.. throw some extra burst at end with meteor and some phoenix flames
do you even use scorch anymore?
Whats your favorite race in wow Hansol?
Oh man. Fire mage looks so badass. I was planning on playing a resto shaman but dat fire mage looks so awesome. I'm so torn on what to play! damnit!
Why can't I find Pheonix flames in my spellbook?
Why do people have the same skill twice on action bar?
how many crit chance and haste% do you have?
Hansol my brother, i watch you vids since you almost start uploading it (i was fire aswell) but the last two years im playing boomy. I reccomend you to make some guides that fires can play togheter, like spicychicken (wich will be rly strong in legion)... Somehow to show up why your viewers should play fire at all and learn how to use their char as a support, when to dmg, when to cross cc for teamates on arena. THAT WILL BE REALLY COOL!
Could you do something like that? U would just get my life easier! im looking for a good fire or frost to push 2700 for the first time this season :)
Like this comment to make sure he will see it if u wanr something like that.
Thanks all
Hmm yeah if I alt it up I can do videos like that. I just need to learn how to play another spec and class first.
hahahah ok master. Any suggestions for fire comps so? That you found strong maybe..
I love u i created a mage to be like u :3
+Hansol I think he's asking for matches which you commentate over, explaining what you do in terms off cc/setup when you play with a boomy teammate, on your fire mage
Syrisus correct. English isnt my main linguage, sory for imcompreensive words hahah
How long did it take you to become a great fire mage?
So outside of combustion, if you got a heating up buff and had no fire blast charges, you'd stopcast and hit them with a phoenix? Looks mad clunky.
how is it mad clunky? what you described is exactly what fire mage has been for two entire expansions, just inferno blast instead of pheonix flames.
I don't see how its clunky, phoenix flames is an instant cast mini pyro that always crits. I think of it like have 3 more charges of fire blast that has splash damage.
The artifact spell works differently. With Inferno Blast you could keep casting your fireball with the Heating Up and just Inferno after the cast and it would give you the free Pyro Blast. Phoenix Flames has a longer travel time so it will hit after the fireball if used in the same way as Inferno Blast.
Will Scorch still be a reliable hot streak fisher or should you really only be using it while moving/waiting for phoenix/flame blasts?
yeah if ur waiting and u have to move if not use fireball, or just cast scorch in between ur quick fireballs
since its cast time is much faster and it can be casted while moving it will be your main pyro fishing ability in pvp when you are under pressure.
Stefan After playing a little bit of pvp Scorch seems to be a very unreliable hot streak finisher. With our crit at around 40% because of pvp template you more often than not just lose your hot streak.The spell seems a little bit useless at this point. It doesn't slow either anymore so we can't even use it to create some distance between us and current mongo melee. Either our mobility and survivability has to be buffed or (leather) melee has to be nerfed.
Hansol, can you make a dueling video against demon hunters? They seem the new anti mage class.
Demon Hunters? Not really dude haha
Because they have 2-3 abilities that remove spell effects idk, maybe better vs aff/sp.
+Lord Vaako lel dh go down before to get to you just frost nova. and boom
+p2k poly, Pyro, comet instant pyro with combust and just shit hits the fan
^true
hey so what are those floating balls? like what item does it belong to
I believe it's an ability given by the artefact weapon, Felo'melorn.
Hansol, you should try to level your mage up on the Beta so you can plan out your Artifact talent pathing. It'll take at least 6 months or so to farm all the Artifact Power necessary to fill out your entire artifact.
Make a video on it and let us know what you think would be the most optimal path choices for PVP so we can turn arenas and battlegrounds into a violent conflagration of crimson splendor.
Damn I actually didn't even know that. I'll figure it out :)
Cheers, bud.
I play fire on MoP private server but I love all these Legion clips. Keep burning shit
what add on was that?
so why not greater pyro?
Yo, how about a BG video with commentary?
The text on combustion says increase your crit chance by 100%. so if you have 40% crit it will go up to 80%. you will need atleast 50% crit for it to become guaranteed. is this correct?
No it will become 100 % always so even if you have 1% crit it will be 100
Should also mention the chance to reduce the cd on Phoenix flame by 5 sec
Yeah woops. I missed a few things. Still grasping a better understanding. Just sharing as I go. Thanks for the mention.
Sorry for asking, but what is that transmog?
Cataclysmic Elite T2 set. Unobtainable anymore.
cant find flame phoenix spell anywhere :/
still doing that videos Hansol! Update ur Armory Link at twitch!!
Good video Hansol I like it
lol i keep being like the first one to see your vids what time is it over at where your at hansol
Haha sick. I upload around mornings. It's 9:40 AM here atm.
How is he hitting 1-2 mil damage? with FF and PB
Hansol do you remember me
wtf. fire looks so OP
is fire mage still strong ?
Awesome as always man ! keep burning shit!
why arent you running Living Bomb?
He said it did little to no damage.. So it's better to keep unstable magic on to give your Fireball more dmg.
ive been playing beta too and i macroed the phoenix flame and fireblast together since there isnt a global and it works great
Pleas Show us THE Equipment of you
WHY NO GREATER PYRO?
Legion gained Warhammer's Bright Wizard
Firestarter reduces cooldown of Combust by 1 second in live instead of 10.
Man, love your fucking videos dude keep it up.
Is it me or is the audio torwards the end a bit fucked up?
@Hansol Come on man duel a Warlock! I want to see how they compete!
make a guide vs ferrals pls :3 every mage youtuber is avoiding it xD i get it is hard but we need it xc
spell steal for dayz
not enough
The game has 5 buttons, figure it out yourself.
BROSEIDON, Ruler of the BROCEAN nah, rogue first, then warlocks, then druids then mage
Sorry mate but right now on the 7.0 fire mage do to low damage to be played in JcJ.
19k pyroblast in crit :(
30k with run of power :(
I'm torn between using my 100 boost on a Priest or a Mage. I'm more of a PvPer so anyone have any suggestions?
Both are good, SPriest is really nice.
Jacob Roberson I boosted my mage. Getting them crits feels so satisfying!
I love my mage, started out in BC as a mage. Fell off in Wotlk and went DK full time (Frost) and ultimately leveled every class. Now Mage has my attention again since MoP off and On. I feel the embers flaring up bro. lol
