Spend your Astral Power on Starsurge or Starfall on multi-target.ĭo not lose uses of Warrior of Elune, Force of Nature, or Fury of Elune (if talented). Try to pair with your other cooldowns but do not lose a use. Keep Celestial Alignment / Incarnation: Chosen of Elune (if talented) on cooldownĬast Convoke the Spirits when you have less than 50 Astral Power. It only makes a difference as Arcane because it makes the images cast their own Arcane Blast, which benefits from your own stacks on the target.Īpply or maintain your Moonfire, Sunfire, and Stellar Flare (if talented) The corresponding glyph makes no difference as a Fire Mage (I tested this last month following a Facebook comment). You are right about Mirror Image, so I added a small mention of it in the DPS cooldown section. But, before reaching this value, we want Haste Rating and Critical Strike Rating in balanced amounts. Rather, this cap should be considered as an interesting Haste Rating value after which we don't want Haste anymore. It is very important not to go out of your way to reach the 25% soft haste cap. Make sure you are spamming that fireball key so that you have no delay in between casts - This was my biggest gain of dps on my mage since I was failing early on by just trying to time the start of the next cast after the previous. (I would like to say I am more and more in agreement with Damien and think just watching for big crits is the way to go instead of using Combustion Helper but it's good for getting started.) For my settings i turn off the ignite prediction and set my threshold at 13k.I am only at 387 ilvl though (so your threshold may be higher) as my mage has taken a backseat to my pally for this tier. I thought i remembered reading that you did not want the minor glyph of mirror image though? Could someone verify or check that? I personally do use combustion helper. You should be maximizing your Mirror image use as it is a good source of damage. One thing i did not see in the fire mage guide is using mirror images. Anyone with at least LFR gear should have plenty of haste to reach the 15% soft cap without having to reforge to it. I would try reforging Hit>Crit>Haste>Mastery.

Haste really only starts to catch up if you are a master at maximizing your combustion. From a real world standpoint I believe that reforging from haste to crit will be an even bigger factor. I just simmed you Kuraigu and i'm showing a minor dps gain to reforge from your 2005 haste rating (25%) soft cap into crit. Deal 5,000,000 damage with the same rotation, just that you try not to let Living Bomb explode.įor each of the two experiments, I need to know how much DPS you did, and the percentage of damage you did with each spell.Deal 5,000,000 damage with the rotation that we advise in our guide (let Living Bomb explode).I think you should do 2 experiments on a single dummy (take one that has no other dummy next to it). This is yet another reason why it is hard to believe that the explosion ruins your DPS. This would make the explosion of Living Bomb even more powerful (provided the 3 dummies are close to each other). Moreover, you say that you are testing on 3 dummies at a time. The only way I see for this to happen is if, after the explosion, it takes you more than 2 seconds to recast Living Bomb.

I find it extremely hard to believe, seeing as the explosion represents about 25% of the damage that Living Bomb deals. So, it would mean that if you refresh Living Bomb before it explodes, then you do more DPS. You say that you experience a DPS drop when you let Living Bomb explode. When reporting a problem like this, you need to be really precise, otherwise it is really hard to figure out what the problem might be.

Hey and thank you for the nice comments about my Fire Mage guide.
