World of Warcraft: Forever · class guide
Fire Mage: Rotation
The Fire priorities, top to bottom: use the first one that applies.
Single target
Pyroblast to open from range on a fresh target (its burn lasts 12 s).
Scorch until your Improved Scorch is at five stacks on a target that will live; refresh before 30 s run out.
Pyroblast at three Heating Up stacks (1.5 s cast), or at two if you only have time for a 3 s cast.
Fire Blast to finish or while moving; every cast adds a Heating Up stack.
Packs
Flamestrike first, on a pack the tank holds. Only one of yours can burn at a time.
Blast Wave from 30 when they close in: damage and a 50% daze.
Arcane Explosion while they stand on you.
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.
