i just hope asuna channel and fanbase grow as much as possible. Mostly tune into his stream for mage content whenever possible and its always educational when it comes to WoW gameplay. Keep it up!!
Literally just moved from frost after about 11 years of playing, never was able to get to fire...all the guides were really complex - you made it so simple! thank you!
Been contemplating the change from frost to fire for a while now and this video just made me confident to do it ! Thanks a lot for such a detailed guide for m+ time to farm some soul ash for incantation I guess
Thanks for the great video! One question: How are we supposed to enter in the second combustion? Do we always want to have a heating up proc up and then go Firebolt (Precast(+ Combustion + FB+ PB + PB + FB +PB+PF+PB etc. or do we just use Combustion on cooldown? Also, how many FB and PF charges should be available when we start combusting?
try to line up your fire blasts! you dont have to have a heating up, but i would recommend not doing the fireball double fireblast opener without 3 fireblasts, if you have 2 you have to kind of alternate PF and fireblast the whole way
i double checked on this one with 2 sims one with and without and the other is way higher www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/6B4qMvGJR5GW79zDN31hUM www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/rruR88xznPhTS8KMNUTULQ
If combustion is coming up soon and you want to save fireblasts for it, should you stop using fireblasts on random heating up procs? Or should you still use them anyway?
Only if you're close to capping fireblasts and there is >10 seconds left on combust cd. You want to go into combustion with 2.5 fireblast 2 phoenixflames. Average recharge is 8.5s with current haste.
with mirrors i believe you want to press it before combust etc, with mirrors being 1:30 i believe you want to play for that 1:30 combustion. Night fae vs venthyr in ST is pretty close the only difference is when you do AoE and flamestrike combusts night fae shifting power damage is a bit noticable
10:34 im new to mage, how are using pyro after critting only once with blast or pheonix? i thought u need two crits in a row?? plz answer i wanna learn since im loving this game
Great video! My one question is what is the reasoning behind opening with scorch instead of fireball in all the openers except the advanced ST combustion rotation?
its kind of minimal what you open with in terms of precasting, scorch/fireball/pyroblast but if im doing the double fireblast opener its much easier to do with fireball because it has travel time versus scorch
Hey @Asuna, what is the name or link of the weak aura you're using for the single target and aoe? kinda would be nice to have that on screen while on a training dummy to learn the rotation properly as I struggle with watching it and practicing the rotation for both with combustion and no combustion and the shifting power and no shifting power.
Hey great video! I have 1 question. Can you explain why as a fire mage we want to alter time during prideful debuff? Does it alter us back and give us the buff for longer?? I thought that alter time has been changed to only alter our health? Thank you again for the great video!
Hi! Yea, it’s changed and you no longer will get the buff timers back. The reason to use alter time on pride is just to help your healer with stacking aoe dmg during the pride kills. Try to use at max HP point and after some ticks just restore all HP back
So in the more advanced single target opener why 2 fire blasts? Wouldn't that be munching a crit or is just building the infernal buff from the start more important?
Hey man dope video! I’m new to mage and not too sure what to roll spec wise, I like pvp and pve/raid/mythics, am I just better going fire and learning that as it seems viable in all aspects
all specs are really good right now :) frost is being held on by glacial fragments, and fire and arcane just own. with the current tuning as i type this you can almost play whatever spec you want in m+, they are really close
@@Asuna_qt awesome thanks for that, I’ve been on my DH pushing mythics, but wanted some variety and keen to learn mage as it seems like skill cap is high which is rad, thanks again
Thanks for the guide. Afaik we have no knowledge when the worldboss for Fevered Incantation will be up, right? Would you recommend crafting Firestorm if he isn't up by Mythic week?
Hey asuna i tried your aoe-combust with shifting power several times now. But somehow this aoe-combust does more dmg for me: phoenix flames, mid air combust, fire blas into flamestrike, fireblast phonixflames into flamestrike, repeat one more time, shifting power while channeling 2x fireblast into flamestrike. This does about 20% more dmg for me in one combustion. Also this way, you dont have the problem with your one-use-trinket not being active at the start. Thank you for your help!
its so difficult to weave that weird ''phoenix, scorch, fblast, flamestrike, phoenix, flamestrike" combo. getting that scorch weaved through is so timely.
if flamestrike hits and crits it wont give heating up or hotstreak :( so we have to use 2 crits again to get another flamestrike, pyro crits so its cool there that it will give us back a heating up
Do the sims account for when mobs are below 30% health (searing touch) and you are getting a lot more streaks when they are evaluating firestorm vs FI? If they don’t, firestorm would be a clear winner no?
ive been playing fire since the start of SL now, and i feel like i'm doing literally all you said in the video, however my dmg still seems low sometimes. when i compared my parses from CN to higher parses the uptime and dmg % of spells was very similar (other than oil, which was 0.9% of the total dmg), but the higher parse just seemed to do way more damage, is that purely down to ilvl?
incredible video! thank you... this might be too much to ask but could you reply in comment whats the rotation for ST and AOE with combast? i mean write it down for me? if not its okay :)
Would u be open to watching videos of firemage gameplay on stream, and correcting the mistakes? I feel like the guide tells me a lot of things that I'm aware of, but I still feel like my damage is low as balls
yea sometimes this will happen as long as you only used fireblasts for heating up and if you run out just keep fireballing till you have recharged. these are keen times to put abilities like shifting power (on ST) and phoenix flames (so it doesnt cap stacks) on cooldown as well
if you precast pyro early enough you can que up a fireball before boss combat is engaged, in m+ i do what you say with fireball, in raid i dont really like to press my trinket before a 4 second pyro but regardless this is a minor dps difference either way you go about it
id wait as long as possible in heroic week to craft personally, firestorm might be a forsure craft because its a good progression legendary, we will seee though im waiting
I never understood the talent kindling... combustion has a 2 min cooldown so how is 1.5 sec shorter even worth it? Am I misunderstanding it or something? 2 min and 1 min 58 sec sound the same to me
i just hope asuna channel and fanbase grow as much as possible. Mostly tune into his stream for mage content whenever possible and its always educational when it comes to WoW gameplay. Keep it up!!
Kindest words!!!
Learning Fire mage right now, and out of all the vids i was watching this one was best explained! Thanks, keep up the good work!
agree !
Literally just moved from frost after about 11 years of playing, never was able to get to fire...all the guides were really complex - you made it so simple! thank you!
Great video Billy ❤️
thank you legend :D
stfu preh3at
Subbed, so good. I love how you have the rotation at the top of the screen it makes it so much easier for me.
Perfectly explained!
Great vid m8!
ty :)
Actually amazing and condensed guide, would be nice to see the rotations written down but still a great resource
thank you for the tip! will work on it for my next videos :D
arcane explosion
Awesome guide! I always forget about phoenix flames spreading ignite. I find myself just using it during combustion for the instant cast
Been contemplating the change from frost to fire for a while now and this video just made me confident to do it ! Thanks a lot for such a detailed guide for m+ time to farm some soul ash for incantation I guess
Great vid, would you be able to create a video of you in m+ just so we get an idea of positioning etc
Awesome video Billy, you did a great job articulating what is important for fire mages!
nero :D
Absolutely fantastic. Very thorough and detailed. Good job Billy!
thank you man
I found this video more useful then the ones done by PreHeat or PreHeet.
Hope you keep doing more!
Always like watching your stream/videos. Very easy to follow and educational! Thx!
Im a noob Fire mage goin into shadowlands mainly m+, your guide is very informative and well made, subbed, thank you
I've been waiting for a guide from you for ages ! I hope you will do guides when updates come, keep up the good work my man, much love from france !
thank you for the support :D
Fantastic guide, this is the one i'm saving to return to in the future. Can't thank you enough!
mage is fun to play i hope you come play it!
Dude you're awesome, just improved a ton with you vid :love:
Never watched your videos but this was really good! Watched the whole thing and learned a lot, thank you :)
Really great! Looking forward to the frost mage one :)
in the works :D
Thanks for this, nice simple straightforward information!
im glad it was easily understandable
Very informative video as usual! Thanks Billy :)
im glad it was helpful friend!!
Incredible Video! Explained everything so well!
Awesome guide! Can’t wait to do some more fire mage m+
i swear fire owns!!
Hey mate would be awesome if you did an arcane m+ guide too 😜
Arcane Explosion.
:eyes:
are you the same Asuna whos on top mage mythic+ ???
glad to see you here!!!
i do alot of mythic+ yes :D
Thanks for the great video! One question:

@@Asuna_qt ok, thanks for the answer! So overall we should try to use it close to cd and stop using fireblasts ~15 seconds before it comes up, right?
Awesome guide, thank you and keep them coming :)
4:40 If your character can provide bloodlust it will will sim with bloodlust regarless if you tick it or untick it in the sim.
i double checked on this one with 2 sims one with and without and the other is way higher

Great vid bro!
thank you :D
The fire mage rotation is so simple on paper but completely fries my brain in practice. It's deceptively difficult, imo.
practice makes perfect :)
billy content is pogchamp
thank u petsdogs pogchampion

I wonder what that text at 6:07 was about.
:)
Pro guide well detailed love it so.much
Thank you so much for this helpful guide! 😊
thank you :DD
Great video! Thank you! I have one question. Sometimes there’s fireballs rotating around you. What is that effect coming from?:)
Big help - thanks so much.
Hey Asuna, what about Mirrors of Torment? I went Venthyr and do not really know when to fit Mirrors. Or should I just reroll for Nightfae?
Cheers!
with mirrors i believe you want to press it before combust etc, with mirrors being 1:30 i believe you want to play for that 1:30 combustion. Night fae vs venthyr in ST is pretty close the only difference is when you do AoE and flamestrike combusts night fae shifting power damage is a bit noticable
dude you have by FAR the best guide big love
thanks so much for the great guide!
Hello Asuna this video help me alot, a question what is the name of nameplate addon to check the % of the mobs?
10:34 im new to mage, how are using pyro after critting only once with blast or pheonix? i thought u need two crits in a row?? plz answer i wanna learn since im loving this game
im pretty sure he's using a fireblast in there to also generate another crit proc
its somewhat quick but there is 2 fireblasts with that first fireball, always feel free to DM me if you need further help :D
Thank you. The attention to detail and amount of key information is superb in this video. Helpful and concise.
Great guide much appreciated
Very helpful, thank you for the guide
thank you :D
my DPS went up 300% amazing guide
whats the addon at top that tells you the rotation?
Great video! My one question is what is the reasoning behind opening with scorch instead of fireball in all the openers except the advanced ST combustion rotation?

wago.io/cWI3bhMz2 this one i believe :) which part is the struggle for you?

So in the more advanced single target opener why 2 fire blasts? Wouldn't that be munching a crit or is just building the infernal buff from the start more important?
No, since the fireblasts land first, then you will double crit with fireball + pyro so you can throw another pyro.
What is the addon/weakaura that displays what spells you pressed in your rotation?
Nice guide dude! Any idea which spec is going to be the best for mythic+??
fire and frost will shine in different bosses, the difference is small per boss imo
sick guide. hope u make one about frost aswell!
will be working on it :)
12:37 Is it possible to hit that scorch after the flamestrike with 190ms ?
MS can definitely have an effect on it sometimes, it should still be possible though if you are spamming
Thx for the video!
What was your haste at the time?
my haste was around 15% i believe my stats should always be top left :)
i believe 15 % its always in the top right :)
Hey man dope video!
I’m new to mage and not too sure what to roll spec wise, I like pvp and pve/raid/mythics, am I just better going fire and learning that as it seems viable in all aspects

yea only blizzard knows :( firestorm imo is a decent one to craft but I would wait until after a potential heroic tuning
Ty for a video and ToG is godlike manhwa
exactly :)
In the frost guide you had a graph for best races, but none in this fire one? how is goblin compared to troll etc, thanks!
How are your flamestrikes insta casting during aoe rotation? I have to place the area each time? I’m new sorry if it’s obvious 😅
I would like to know the answer to this, too!
Mouse over macro, places flamestrike, meteor, RoF etc at the spot of your mouse/ cursor
Finally. Wish you make more vids for noobs like me , simple n effective, ty
i hope it helped! let me know if theres any questions
Very good content, keep it up
thank you i plan on it!
man trying to learn this is some wild shit.... you and preheet some phuckin life savers saluuuuuu!
preheet is the man!!!!
Hey, looking at your keybinds I'm curious as to what "A1", "A2", etc. mean, as far as what the actual keybind is. Thanks for the guide.
I think it means "alt 1" "alt 2" etc
alt 1 through 4 :)
Hey asuna
i tried your aoe-combust with shifting power several times now. But somehow this aoe-combust does more dmg for me:
phoenix flames, mid air combust, fire blas into flamestrike, fireblast phonixflames into flamestrike, repeat one more time, shifting power while channeling 2x fireblast into flamestrike.

Also this way, you dont have the problem with your one-use-trinket not being active at the start.
Thank you for your help!
You are awsome, good video! Just one question, do you have a macro or something like that with you Rune of Power and Phoenix Flames?
thank you!! and negative just have really wierd binds for them haha, alt3 is my rune and shift 3 is my phoenix flames
after getting beaten in overall damage by a DH thats 10 ilvls underme i needed to watch your content
ty for the guide mr. gosling
:blush:
its so difficult to weave that weird ''phoenix, scorch, fblast, flamestrike, phoenix, flamestrike" combo. getting that scorch weaved through is so timely.
billy with the premium content
thank you sir :)
whats the name of that addon ? the one showing up top
@asuna what is the passive that causes the flameballs that rotate around your character? I do not see that on my toon. Am i missing something here?
it was flamecannon i believe :) the pvp talent where you stand still i had war mode on i think
Hi mate, do you use macros for your aoe sequence? if yes, how you use flamestrike on cursor with the macro? thnx
Nah he manually combusts always
no sequences here sir!
nowadays is better to craft firestorm or encantation?¿ I love to do myth+ and i dont know is something canged the meta since 27 nov TY ! :D
Does Flamestrike give a heating up proc? Or that's why you are using fire blast in between ?
if flamestrike hits and crits it wont give heating up or hotstreak :( so we have to use 2 crits again to get another flamestrike, pyro crits so its cool there that it will give us back a heating up
@@Asuna_qt Ah I see thanks for the info! Btw I love ToG!
What Masque Skin are you using for the weakauras ?
Thanks for the video keep it up man :)
Thanks for the guide. Even for someone who has mained fire for the last 3 years theres always a thing or two you can learn :)
im glad to help friend!! :)
Accualy I do more dps when I use only 1 flamestrike and then just arc explosion... shame how fire aoe is low outside combust.
Great content, could you maybe boost your voice volume in future vids? It's hard to hear on mobile since I can't turn my volume up as much as desktop
Wie heisst das addon wo deine dots über gegnerplates stehen?
Need the name of the addon with nameplates with dots
Do the sims account for when mobs are below 30% health (searing touch) and you are getting a lot more streaks when they are evaluating firestorm vs FI? If they don’t, firestorm would be a clear winner no?
Yes, sims take all that into account.
ive been playing fire since the start of SL now, and i feel like i'm doing literally all you said in the video, however my dmg still seems low sometimes.
when i compared my parses from CN to higher parses the uptime and dmg % of spells was very similar (other than oil, which was 0.9% of the total dmg), but the higher parse just seemed to do way more damage, is that purely down to ilvl?
Hi man as I know fire mage is a class who need a lot of stat so take your time and take stuff it will be better
What's the WA tracking your spells?
its a cast timeline weak aura, if you go into my chat on twitch and type !casts or !cast one of the two it should give you the link
incredible video! thank you... this might be too much to ask but could you reply in comment whats the rotation for ST and AOE with combast? i mean write it down for me? if not its okay :)
Would u be open to watching videos of firemage gameplay on stream, and correcting the mistakes? I feel like the guide tells me a lot of things that I'm aware of, but I still feel like my damage is low as balls
At the beginning of the video, you have those fireballs swirling around you. How??
they had the flamecannon pvp talent on
Thank ye mate!
thank for you watching :)
Very nice!
I use I incarted flow I always forget to use rune of power
If you get really lucky with Fireball crits and then run out of FB charges what do you do? just keep casting Fireball until your FB charge comes back?
yea sometimes this will happen as long as you only used fireblasts for heating up and if you run out just keep fireballing till you have recharged. these are keen times to put abilities like shifting power (on ST) and phoenix flames (so it doesnt cap stacks) on cooldown as well
Wait, why would you not just open with pyroblast>combust to make the pyro critt intially
if you precast pyro early enough you can que up a fireball before boss combat is engaged, in m+ i do what you say with fireball, in raid i dont really like to press my trinket before a 4 second pyro but regardless this is a minor dps difference either way you go about it
This is great .
so would you wait until week three to see if u can drop fevered incantation week three? then craft firestorm?
id wait as long as possible in heroic week to craft personally, firestorm might be a forsure craft because its a good progression legendary, we will seee though im waiting
Question should i be using Fire blast during execute phase with searing touch or do i just spam Scorch?
You should be using scorch + fireblast -> pyroblast until you are out of fireblast charges, then you should scorch + scorch -> pyro
how do you have those fire orbs rotating around your character?! ive been looking everywhere for an answer
It's a PvP talent
flame cannon pvp talent i accidently had war mode on xD
I never understood the talent kindling... combustion has a 2 min cooldown so how is 1.5 sec shorter even worth it? Am I misunderstanding it or something? 2 min and 1 min 58 sec sound the same to me
It reduces the cd by 1.5 for every crit. So the cd comes faster depending on how many times you crit.
yea its for every crit :) so if you spam fireballs and they all crit you get 1.5 seconds each time!
Ohhhhhh ok that makes more sense lol. So I guess it can take of a good 15 sec if you get alot of crits
