Fire Mage: Rotation

Client build 1.60.1.70425 · updated

The Fire priorities, top to bottom: use the first one that applies.

Single target

  1. Pyroblast to open from range on a fresh target (its burn lasts 12 s).
  2. Scorch until your Improved Scorch is at five stacks on a target that will live; refresh before 30 s run out.
  3. Pyroblast at three Heating Up stacks (1.5 s cast), or at two if you only have time for a 3 s cast.
  4. Fireball as the filler. From 40, use Frostfire Bolt instead, which also slows. Unconfirmed
  5. Fire Blast to finish or while moving; every cast adds a Heating Up stack.

Packs

  1. Flamestrike first, on a pack the tank holds. Only one of yours can burn at a time.
  2. Blast Wave from 30 when they close in: damage and a 50% daze.
  3. Arcane Explosion while they stand on you.
  4. Cone of Cold to slow them and step away.

Cooldowns and emergencies

  • Combustion from 40: each Fire hit adds 10% Fire crit until three more crits land. Have Scorch stacks up first. Unconfirmed
  • Presence of Mind with an Arcane-split build: an instant Pyroblast.
  • Evocation in long fights.
  • Fire Ward against Fire casters: absorbs 913 Fire damage at top rank, and with Improved Fire Ward can reflect.
