Damn, you answer questions pretty consistently. I don't have any, but it's always nice to see my go-to Mage to steal techniques from is playing Legion.
Not a perfect guide/video but there's some basic stuff for people that ask me in my stream so hopefully it'll help some of you guys. Feel free to ask anything in the comments. Will try to answer all questions as best as I can.
Big fan of yours here. Thanks a lot for the video! I still have some doubts tho: Starting with pyro doesnt take much of your pre pot? And what about the rotation without cinderstorm, with kidling, the flame on can be used between bursts? ? On single, conflagration is even better then pyromaniac?
Are you still using Cinderstorm for single target? Isn't kindling better? After your initial rotation you're just fireball spamming and when you crit you're supplementing with fireblast---That's pretty much it until your rune is up with combustion and flame on right? Why is my damage so much lower than yours single target? It's crazy. You have a lot more int (10k more) and your trinkets are better. Would that cause a 150k difference though?
you've been super lucky with crit stacking, im barely above 40% and only 2 ilvl below you in this vid. It makes your opener look super fluid, where as most of us will have to fish for the first crit to then go into rune and combust from there
I do realise I was hitting a dummy that gives me 15% more crit, however I open up on bosses/raids all the time where my first cast doesnt crit, you just gotta go straight into fireblast/PF and carry on
15% more crit from dummies? ive been living under a rock for the last 18 months when it comes to wow. and yea, the opener is simple in theory but can take a while to get the muscle memory going!
Hey Rikh can you further explain where do you fit cinderstorm in your single target rotation? i've been using it when fire blast are on CD or when i have a low pyretic incantation proc to try to get it high instantly but i see you use it a bit differntly i think I'd love if you can elaborate on that, thanks
hey rikh, wanted to mention that i've been playing with Both kindling and cinderstrom in a full HC clear. kindling feels and also Sims always better than cinderstorm unless you have to do High burst aoe which is only on 2-3 fights (il'gynoth, Dragons, renferal) for Dragons it might still be better to play kindling. Love your vids man, keep em coming
Hey thanks for the guide. I had a look at Rinoa's guide and now yours. Few questions: why did you not line up 2x Fireblast for your 2nd RoP FO? You did not have it either for the second combustion? You also pyroblasted before fireballing sometimes; I assume, for this phase specifically, you have to be close to the boss to see if you got a Hotstreak! before the GCD ends to make that play?
Rikh, any chance you can do a frost mage guide? they're a bit different, and i want to see how you play it. I love your guides, keep it up, they're always helpful.
Hey Rikh! I noticed that you were using your interrupt during your combustion burn phase. I do not know what it does and would love to hear from you if it helps any bit. I thought it would be a misclick at first but then I noticed the same on your second combustion as well. Keep up the good work, you're amazing!
It's crazy how much rng can affect our numbers. Seeming-less perfect rotation at 840 ilvl with 45% and i steady out at 160k dps with no lust on opener through 2 combust and 1 min after.
Hey great video, helped a lot to re-evaluate my opener! One question though: The trinket list seems to be only for the mythic version of the items right? But what if i got Naraxas trinket as hc version and a lesser trinket on the list (for example oakheart or horn of valor) as their mythic version? Should i stick with the Naraxas trinket or should i take the other one? Thanks in advance!
i have a question about the lighting thing you cast, what is it and how do i get it for my fire mage? and nice video, it cleard a lot of stuff up for me.
Well Fire Blast isn't on the GCD and can be cast while casting. Phoenix's Flames is on the GCD, so it is at the exact same time, but you'll have to wait an extra GCD before you can cast your first instant Pyroblast.
hey m8 thanks for uploading videos like those. question no 1( about trinkets) : is unstable horrorslime that bad or its just not in the top 20? and question no2: can you link us ur macro? or can i find it anywhere? thanks
Hey Rikh! What do u think about this opening: precast rune of power->start casting fireball-> use 2x fireblast mid fireball cast to get insta pyro-> use combustion while still casting the fireball-> then launch both fireball and pyro-> the rest is just normal flame on and phoenix's flame! Really want to know what u think about this opening cuz imo its kinda nice. Ty and keep burning stuff!
you waste time casting fireball in the rune and also combustion gets delayed so it wont be up for the whole rune, doesnt sound super efficient but if works for you keep doing it
Cinderstorm exels at cleave/aoe, its also good for single target if you can hit all 6 cinders every time. Kindling might be the choice later on for ST fights in raids, but we'll see
That's something I dont know myself yet, if I ever get the item I would test the shit out of it and see what works best for me. Until I get it I can't really help with it.
Tjena! jag har Devilsaur trinket 830, Wriggling Sinew 835 och Naraxas spiked tougne 825. vilka borde jag använda? har 56 crit med de första 2 och är osäker hur mkt naraxas gör extra på single etc
On your normal rotation do you always cast Fireball even if you have Pyro proc on to fish those double crits? Or do you cast pyro as soon as you see it popping?
Worth noting here for everyone - He's attacking a PvP dummy and mages have a passive when we get in what they call "pvp-combat" which increases all dmg we deal by 15% until damaged. And since he doesn't get any dmg on him, he always just do a flat out 15% increased damage. Don't be fooled my friends!
True/False question: "Outside Rune and/or Combustion, Cinderstorm should be casted on cooldown, unless you're in a stream of Fireball + Pyro Hot Streak procs." Now, should I break such a wonderful time of constant Hot Streak procs, to fire off Cinderstorm, or just wait with Cinderstorm for when I'm out of Fire Blasts and doesn't or can't manually proc a Hot Streak? I guess it's a question of how high an Ignite I can keep running. Would it destroy the Ignite to break the stream of Hot Streaks with a Cinderstorm? I wouldn't continue the stream of Hot Streaks for eternity of course, so should I wait until then, or break it on purpose. I hope I explain it detailed enough. It could probably be shortened down to one simple question, but there you have it :) Thank you in advance - I'm enjoying your stream.
bro i actualy do the same thing your doing except for cinderstorm and ive seen your recent videos and my dmg is no where near as good idk wat i can b doing rong im 868ilv 58% crit 9% hast 17%mastery and nothing im always between 180-250k dps on burst im over 700k tho and i understand its suppose to drope but man cant b that low with a 893ilv weapon so idk any advice????
Hey Rikh! Do you have a general tip for AoE dps? Mine is awful. I run conflagration, living bomb, and kindling. I must be doing something wrong when my AoE is worse than the whole group.
Now is troll the best race for fire? I'm currently blood elf. Not sure if it is a big deal. Maybe you can elaborate on your mindset of going troll, since you were blood elf last expansion.
Troll/Orc is about 1.5k dps ahead of belf atm. It's not a huge difference, I just like the berserking. This is my 2nd mage though, I still have my belf mage.
Hey Rikh, I got the dragon breath legendary. Not sure where it fits in my rotation so i just throw it in off cd. is there a better way to use dragons breath? I havent seen a guide that features the legendary. Thanks!
For your 3rd rune you wanna use your 2nd flame on and use phoenix flames aswell and try to get as much as possible out of it, ideally start with a heat up or even a hot streak before using rune
it seems like recount shows other DPS-Numbers. because i nearly go the same DMG in the same duration of time but i never reached the 800k DPS burst like him. so i tried skada and i also reached the 800k DPS. so watch for the DMG not DPS before you cry, ty :) BTW...great video thanks *thumbs up*
Hey rikh, Im at 845 ilevel and I'm pulling over 200k dps, but every mage I see, their pyros seem to be max hitting with pyretic for over 500k? my pyros are at 471k... Can you help me out? my crit is 60% my intelllect is 28.3k.
Hi, i have 29.200 intellect and my max pyros deals 493. i have 56% cri rate and 2% vers. y have deal 530k when i got somthing like 12% vers. The game doesnt explain it but intellect gives u more dmg. as versatility. + artefact that deals +2% dmg with ur pyro
Awesome video man. Just one question.. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong.. Like, my burst is ok, Im only 834 atm but when I'm not doing burst, Im standing at 90k-110k dps... Is this normal? Im atm 51% crit. I dunno like.. Will this get better when I get more crit and gear or am I doing something wrong?
I am sitting at 836 right now. When I do my burst rotation I sit around 250-280k dps( depends on how fast I cast the spells) and when off burst I sit at like 100k...
hey rikh thx for video, you help us a lot. I have a prob: i did all the chain pre for WQ trinket yesterday and still i havent che WQ, ¿its normal? also i have 6/11 history suramar and ~3k honored rep nightfallen :(
If you have done all the way to the q where you ride the devilsaur then you just have to wait until the world q is in rotation again. Could take a day or two.
i have pretty much same it lvl (848) and same trinkets but 300 int less. my pyros outside of combustion an no int proc crits like ~260k and ur in the video in same situation like 310-350k. wtf this difference only 300 int and 100k crit dmg i dont understand. mb u has 3 relics on pyro dmg? (i got only 1 and 3/3 art trait)
you want 1800 haste then mastery after crit, its generally a much better idea to gear for cleave/aoe as there isnt many pure ST fights in the raid/dungeon
Rikhard Eriksson i got the devilsaur trinket 850. My opener burst om boss is like 450 or something. And i got 845 Ilvl also. With 55% crit. 1800 haste.
Thanks Rikh, been watching your stream since launch, you have helped me a lot. I had to do a lot of googling to figure out the Devilsaur trinket. For those who also had this issue, here is the wowhead page I used to get it unlocked. www.wowhead.com/quest=43583/life-finds-a-way#comments
Fire must've gotten ninja nerfed or something. I've got 860 and I've tried getting to 44mil dmg @ ~295k dps and I'm always a few k's away. What the fuck? I'm doing everything exactly like you showed in the video
well i do the same rotation with my mage and do only like 150k dps LOL with a 846 ilvl my pyros crit for 290-350k isch idk whats wrong, i do with frost 230k dps on 4 mins so ill stick with frost
I see also now that you manage to throw away so many more PF during your combustion.. How i dont know... For me its like a fucking 1sec gcd and it fucks everything up
how the fuck is he cheating? And wtf is trained thought? if you watch him play he's definitely one of the best fire mages in the world. he's just straight up crazy. so in saying this can you just admit he's better?
Well for one, burst is never long term it's within our combust. Our highest peak of damage tends to happen from moment to moment instead of just relying on our moments when we can pool everything into a combust. And right now good fire mages are seeing consistent dps from 330k and upwards. If you also have the luck of getting a legendary you can have a consistency of 350+, which is what rikh is pulling on most of his fights.
Damn, you answer questions pretty consistently. I don't have any, but it's always nice to see my go-to Mage to steal techniques from is playing Legion.
Thank you for the guide! You're great in optimizing openers

Why is my damage so much lower than yours single target? It's crazy. You have a lot more int (10k more) and your trinkets are better. Would that cause a 150k difference though?
How can you cast 2 runse at the same time, and why do you use counterspell?
Thank you so much. I've been looking forward to learning your rotation since I started following you last expantion. keep up the good work!
you've been super lucky with crit stacking, im barely above 40% and only 2 ilvl below you in this vid. It makes your opener look super fluid, where as most of us will have to fish for the first crit to then go into rune and combust from there

It can proc the trinkets
+Rikhard “Rikh” Eriksson Oh I see. Like we did in Draenor to get the Sandman's proc early. Thank you!
why not pyro-rune-scorch-fireblast, same if pyro crits or not. if it crits you'll get en extra pyro in total
It's crazy how much rng can affect our numbers. Seeming-less perfect rotation at 840 ilvl with 45% and i steady out at 160k dps with no lust on opener through 2 combust and 1 min after.
I'm glad Cinderstorm seems to be viable, because it makes the gameplay much more interesting.
what song is playing in the background for the first several minutes of this video? Also great guide thanks for the upload
Just had a 1h veela remix from youtube
Can we get an updated fire guide for 7.1.5 once you're done with progression, Rikh? :)
Hey great video, helped a lot to re-evaluate my opener!
One question though: The trinket list seems to be only for the mythic version of the items right?
But what if i got Naraxas trinket as hc version and a lesser trinket on the list (for example oakheart or horn of valor) as their mythic version? Should i stick with the Naraxas trinket or should i take the other one? Thanks in advance!
Hard to say, I'd prolly go with naraxes. Best bet is to sim them yourself if you really wanna find out.
At what ilvl diff does shock baton drop from bis compared to for example hc swarming plaguehive?
i have a question about the lighting thing you cast, what is it and how do i get it for my fire mage? and nice video, it cleard a lot of stuff up for me.
Its a trinket called Devilsaur, get it from a WQ in Suramar that doesnt pop very often. wowhead Nighteyes, gotta do some pre qs to unlock it
okay thanks, do you have a location for the pre quests?
what do u do if u dont crit on that initial pyro
Same question
Use a Fireblast and Phoenix Flames at the same time to start the combust rotation.
you can do them at the exact same time OR do u just mean super quick back to back?
Well Fire Blast isn't on the GCD and can be cast while casting. Phoenix's Flames is on the GCD, so it is at the exact same time, but you'll have to wait an extra GCD before you can cast your first instant Pyroblast.
Hi rikh, when do you use your bracers?
1. always when it procs ?or
2. only when you don't have Phoenix flames or fire blast ready ?
hey m8 thanks for uploading videos like those.
question no 1( about trinkets) : is unstable horrorslime that bad or its just not in the top 20? and question no2: can you link us ur macro? or can i find it anywhere? thanks
ok so im using infernal writ and tongue, would oakheart outperform infernal writ?
Hey Rikh! What do u think about this opening: precast rune of power->start casting fireball-> use 2x fireblast mid fireball cast to get insta pyro-> use combustion while still casting the fireball-> then launch both fireball and pyro-> the rest is just normal flame on and phoenix's flame! Really want to know what u think about this opening cuz imo its kinda nice. Ty and keep burning stuff!
you waste time casting fireball in the rune and also combustion gets delayed so it wont be up for the whole rune, doesnt sound super efficient but if works for you keep doing it
OK. Thx for the answearing and explaining this to me, really helpfull.
i have a question, what is the spell rotation when combustion is active?
should I use cinderstorm for everything even it is a single target? or just more mobs fight_? and it is a great video tnx
Cinderstorm exels at cleave/aoe, its also good for single target if you can hit all 6 cinders every time. Kindling might be the choice later on for ST fights in raids, but we'll see
What's the scrolling row of ability icons you have above your action bar at the bottom right?
those are the abilities he's using, so you can follow each GCD
Hey Rikh, what do you do in AoE situations?
How would we use the procs from wrist legendary? While combustion and rune active or only when they are on cooldown?
That's something I dont know myself yet, if I ever get the item I would test the shit out of it and see what works best for me. Until I get it I can't really help with it.
Tjena! jag har Devilsaur trinket 830, Wriggling Sinew 835 och Naraxas spiked tougne 825. vilka borde jag använda? har 56 crit med de första 2 och är osäker hur mkt naraxas gör extra på single etc
Wow your basic rotation look so smooth, your fireball and pyro always crit wtf ? How much crit % you got ? like 65% ?
Why do you use counterspell in the middle of your rotation?
On your normal rotation do you always cast Fireball even if you have Pyro proc on to fish those double crits? Or do you cast pyro as soon as you see it popping?
Almost always cast both outside rop
with kindling do you only flame on during combustion?
When I try to get devilsaur shock batton from WQ life finds a way I will always get artifact power
What you think about the Frost Mage? Stand 11/2/16
How do you get your UI like that? Is that an add-on or something i can do in game.
Worth noting here for everyone - He's attacking a PvP dummy and mages have a passive when we get in what they call "pvp-combat" which increases all dmg we deal by 15% until damaged. And since he doesn't get any dmg on him, he always just do a flat out 15% increased damage.
Don't be fooled my friends!
Hi rikh very good guide. Can you make a guide or a list with your macros?
Don't really have any macros, only one is combustion/berserking together
Question, why when you are casting your fireball your hot streak procs?
because if you cast both your fireball and an instant pyro at the same time and both crits, you'll instantly go into another hot streak again
True/False question: "Outside Rune and/or Combustion, Cinderstorm should be casted on cooldown, unless you're in a stream of Fireball + Pyro Hot Streak procs."
Now, should I break such a wonderful time of constant Hot Streak procs, to fire off Cinderstorm, or just wait with Cinderstorm for when I'm out of Fire Blasts and doesn't or can't manually proc a Hot Streak?

I hope I explain it detailed enough. It could probably be shortened down to one simple question, but there you have it :) Thank you in advance - I'm enjoying your stream.
Fairly sure you just wanna use it off CD outside of combustion, could be wrong though.
Alright. Thank you, Sir :)
what is the reason to use counterspell during combustion? better chance of getting naraxas trinket proc?
Both Naraxes and Devilsaur trinket can proc off of counterspell ya
ty for the info
bro i actualy do the same thing your doing except for cinderstorm and ive seen your recent videos and my dmg is no where near as good idk wat i can b doing rong im 868ilv 58% crit 9% hast 17%mastery and nothing im always between 180-250k dps on burst im over 700k tho and i understand its suppose to drope but man cant b that low with a 893ilv weapon so idk any advice????
i see you start off with pyro. What if that first pyro does not crit?
Thanks for the guide! Do you know of anyone doing something similar for warlocks? Any specs are welcome
Devilsaur baton, sounds fair enough, but which ilvl should be on top ?
What you mean? You have a trinket list in the information, all trinkets simmed are 840
Rikhard Eriksson This answers my question :) Thank you very much for your answer.
Hey Rikh! Do you have a general tip for AoE dps? Mine is awful. I run conflagration, living bomb, and kindling. I must be doing something wrong when my AoE is worse than the whole group.
Watch my stream and check what I do for aoe, its generally living bomb into rune into fireblast/phoenix flamestrike if 10+ mobs cinderstorm etc
Now is troll the best race for fire? I'm currently blood elf. Not sure if it is a big deal. Maybe you can elaborate on your mindset of going troll, since you were blood elf last expansion.
Troll/Orc is about 1.5k dps ahead of belf atm. It's not a huge difference, I just like the berserking. This is my 2nd mage though, I still have my belf mage.
Great thanks!
Atm I got 835 devilsaur and 840 chrono shard. Is better to use a plain 850 int/haste trinket?
na stick to those 2 prolly
Hey Rikh, I got the dragon breath legendary. Not sure where it fits in my rotation so i just throw it in off cd. is there a better way to use dragons breath? I havent seen a guide that features the legendary. Thanks!
Pretty sure you just wanna use it off cd, use it at the end of ur combustion/rune aswell
So for 3rd rune without combustion you want to go PF>FB>PYRO>PF>FB>PYRO etc until your out of your 3 PF?
For your 3rd rune you wanna use your 2nd flame on and use phoenix flames aswell and try to get as much as possible out of it, ideally start with a heat up or even a hot streak before using rune
Rotation on aoe packs etc?
what do u do if the prepull pyro doesnt crit
Fireblast/Phoenix flames as you combust
it seems like recount shows other DPS-Numbers.
because i nearly go the same DMG in the same duration of time but i never reached the 800k DPS burst like him.
so i tried skada and i also reached the 800k DPS.
so watch for the DMG not DPS before you cry, ty :)
BTW...great video thanks *thumbs up*
Do you think conflig is better than pyro even on single target or do you swap per fight?
Conflag for aoe, pyromaniac for single target
awesome guide man thanks alot
Should we get as much crit as possible or stop at a certain percent
Get as much as you can while maintaining 1800 haste and rest mastery
man whats the name of your sword! is it still obtainable?
Hey Rickh, Nice turo thx :)
You have a macro for you'r pull ?
I dont use a macro for my stuff other than combustion/berserking
hi rikh, what is that addon on the bottom right and how does it work? is it a rotation addon? Thanks in advance m8
Called trufiGCD and it shows what I press every GCD. basically an addon for the stream
Just curious why cinderstorm instead of kindle?
Personal preference, there's also a trinker in the raid which makes u wanna go cinderstorm. Called Sinew
Also what relics do you prefer?
Should i reroll my undead mage to a better race, or do you think it doesn't make much difference?
It depends if you want to minmax your dps or not, its pretty neglegible dmg in general race from race. Maybe 1-3k dps.
thanks man! nice guide!
Why do you prefer running Cinderstorm over Kindling? =) Would Kindling make more sense on raid bosses?
Just prefer it atm, a lot of aoe/cleave in dungeons etc atm. Might be playing with kinding for some raid bosses, might not. Will see
Rikhard Eriksson Ah, I see. That makes sense. Thanks a lot for the response!
really like the video, but that counterspell in the opener tho :D
Hey rikh, Im at 845 ilevel and I'm pulling over 200k dps, but every mage I see, their pyros seem to be max hitting with pyretic for over 500k? my pyros are at 471k... Can you help me out? my crit is 60% my intelllect is 28.3k.
Dame problem here, like I never pass 500k on a pyro il 844 muy best is 480k
Hi, i have 29.200 intellect and my max pyros deals 493.
i have 56% cri rate and 2% vers.
y have deal 530k when i got somthing like 12% vers.
The game doesnt explain it but intellect gives u more dmg. as versatility. + artefact that deals +2% dmg with ur pyro
Manolo Rabogordo do you have increased pyroblast damage relics it really helps I'm 647ilvl and 550k pyros with the relics
Awesome video man. Just one question.. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong.. Like, my burst is ok, Im only 834 atm but when I'm not doing burst, Im standing at 90k-110k dps... Is this normal? Im atm 51% crit. I dunno like.. Will this get better when I get more crit and gear or am I doing something wrong?
Manjgo same man. im sitting around 831 and doing the same as u when not burst
Really annoying.. Im 841 atm and Im doing 170k dps sustain... You still have this problem?
Goraesh Channel
Really annoying.. Im 841 atm and Im doing 170k dps sustain... You still have this problem?
yeah dude at 846 and stay around 160k , but I dont have crit trinks atm and some gear is not optimal.
I am sitting at 836 right now. When I do my burst rotation I sit around 250-280k dps( depends on how fast I cast the spells) and when off burst I sit at like 100k...
you know the Pawn String for fire mage ?
Might be a bit out of the loop on this one, but I've no idea what Pawn string for fire mage even is.
You know the stats for mage Int Crit Mastery Haste ...
hey rikh thx for video, you help us a lot. I have a prob: i did all the chain pre for WQ trinket yesterday and still i havent che WQ, ¿its normal? also i have 6/11 history suramar and ~3k honored rep nightfallen :(
If you have done all the way to the q where you ride the devilsaur then you just have to wait until the world q is in rotation again. Could take a day or two.
+Rikhard “Rikh” Eriksson yes i rided on devilsaur, so funny :). ok ill wait it. ¿is repeatable every 2 days?
No idea when it will pop again, not really too familiar with the WQ's myself either
the quest appeared but no trinket, just 310 AP :(
yeah the rewards seems to be either random or in an order
Is it worth to use Cinderstorm with a single target?
Yes, aslong as you can hit all ur cinders its a dps increase
Vad gör du om du inte får en crit från pyron i början? Innan du sätter ner runen
Start with fireblast/Phoenix flames when u combust after rune
what artifact do you use?
why do u take living bomb if u dont use it?
Thank you. We love u.
I didn't bother change to a proper single target build. It's just my dungeon crawler spec. For pure ST you wanna go pyromaniac and unstable magic
damn trolls, i cant fit in the last pheonix flames as an orc
what addon are you using for your rotation in the bottom right?
Its called TrufiGCD but it just shows what I press every GCD
ok thanks :)
hi,where can i find the devilsaur trinket?
Suramar world q, need to do some pre qs to unlock it. Wowhead Nighteyes
ohhh ok thx!!
i have pretty much same it lvl (848) and same trinkets but 300 int less. my pyros outside of combustion an no int proc crits like ~260k and ur in the video in same situation like 310-350k. wtf this difference only 300 int and 100k crit dmg i dont understand. mb u has 3 relics on pyro dmg? (i got only 1 and 3/3 art trait)
IS USING CONFLAG TALENT OR EXTRA PROC OF PYRO EVEN WORTH IT?
conflag for aoe, pyromaniac for single target
why mastery instead of haste as second stat? are u just running with the gear u have or aiming for mastery?
you want 1800 haste then mastery after crit, its generally a much better idea to gear for cleave/aoe as there isnt many pure ST fights in the raid/dungeon
I do exactly the same thing... But im not even close to that opener dps..
What trinkets do you have? Proc trinkets are really good for opener dmg. Naraxes/Devilsaur beeing the best ones, atm
Rikhard Eriksson i got the devilsaur trinket 850. My opener burst om boss is like 450 or something. And i got 845
Ilvl also. With 55% crit. 1800 haste.
he's getting 15% from pvp dummy...
Frost mage is not viable in PVE ?
I'm sure theyre viable I just have no reason to pay attention to anything other than fire atm since fire is doing better at almost everything.
Finally, ty
Thanks Rikh, been watching your stream since launch, you have helped me a lot.
I had to do a lot of googling to figure out the Devilsaur trinket. For those who also had this issue, here is the wowhead page I used to get it unlocked. www.wowhead.com/quest=43583/life-finds-a-way#comments
how do u cast so fast?
Timewarp/Bloodlust + berserking
what relics are you currently using, or will use?
Using 2x -fireball cast time and 1x ignite dmg, but you want 3 pyros
how do you have so much int?
Generally high ilvl gear
What is he saying "basicly on pier ...(?) you want to run pyromaniac and unstable magic" 4:02
pure single target
Ahhh thanks !
Rikh. what sound in min 0:01 thx man.
Its some random Veela song, cant really remember!
Fire must've gotten ninja nerfed or something. I've got 860 and I've tried getting to 44mil dmg @ ~295k dps and I'm always a few k's away. What the fuck? I'm doing everything exactly like you showed in the video
How dafuq is your GCD so low? What is your haste?
Blood lust + Berserking, prolly around 2-3k haste at that point
well i do the same rotation with my mage and do only like 150k dps LOL with a 846 ilvl my pyros crit for 290-350k isch idk whats wrong, i do with frost 230k dps on 4 mins so ill stick with frost
What's your crit at?
I see also now that you manage to throw away so many more PF during your combustion.. How i dont know... For me its like a fucking 1sec gcd and it fucks everything up
Blood lust + Berserking
Why not female troll? :(
Do not like their casting animtion
just realised you're cheating and using trained thought
how the fuck is he cheating? And wtf is trained thought?
if you watch him play he's definitely one of the best fire mages in the world. he's just straight up crazy.
so in saying this can you just admit he's better?
a pvp talent....aka you dont get it in pve fights
you're doing 450k dps and watching a guide video? Seems legit dude.
burst obviously not 450k longterm
Well for one, burst is never long term it's within our combust. Our highest peak of damage tends to happen from moment to moment instead of just relying on our moments when we can pool everything into a combust.
And right now good fire mages are seeing consistent dps from 330k and upwards. If you also have the luck of getting a legendary you can have a consistency of 350+, which is what rikh is pulling on most of his fights.
hardly a guide lol
why do you use counter-spell in the middle of your opener?
Procs trinkets, dont think it works on raid bosses tho
