I have no doubt that the complexity will return. Comment by sofibo Thanks for posting this guide, it was very helpful. Can't find any info on it.

Simply browse for your screenshot using the form below. Fire excels when there are lots of mobs that stay up for a relatively extended period of time.

But I do want to mention that Fire is not well suited to low-end PvE content, particularly low keys. Most Frost mages will out DPS a similarly geared and skilled Fire Mage until you get to higher keys because of the damage profile of the specs and low-key tanks are not going to pull around Combust properly or keep things neatly stacked for your AoE Combust. Fire is much better as the content gets harder and the skill level of the rest of the group increases.

Really though you want to maximize Combust damage which means activating Badge and Igniter just before Combusting and then re-activating Igniter as soon as you hit two stacks of Infernal Cascade so that Igniter goes on CD and is up for your next Combust. Then when you combust after a while its just muscle memory and you dont even need to think about it. Any one know what I might be doing wrong? Flame Patch or Conflag are better options, and Kindling is just a superior choice.

This means more time to spam your Q more overall damage output as well as less time you're standing still and broadcasting yourself as an easy target. I'd recommend spamming your Q until you receive the aggressive caster buff and then using your ignite and pyroblast when appropriate to finish your target off or force cooldowns from the enemy healer.

Swap out ignite for wall of flames if you or a teammate needs the peel, but unless the enemy team is melee heavy I'd focus on your role as DPS first. For your head piece, Force Field is available on all Cloth helmets and using it in conjunction with Energy Emission and Wall of Flames seems pretty redundant to me. I'd definitely recommend switching to something else.

The Robe of Purity is fine if you want to focus on utility to help keep enemies off of capture points and your healer but certainly won't contribute your main role as a DPS.

It's for you to decide what ratio of utility to damage you want in the end though. Scholar Sandals do something very similar for a fraction of the cost and will replenish your energy to boot. I'll also add a disclaimer in here: I'm a relatively new player myself and this advice is just experience I've picked up over the last couple of months playing as Fire.

Always be willing to break from the meta and experiment yourself. Someone else could offer a different perspective than mine that is just as relevant because they do slightly different content, run a different group composition, or just have an altogether different playstyle that doesn't jive well with a certain build.

Happy to see new people on Fire though - it needs some love and recognition! Purity Set - This gear set is focused on utility and while there is a time and place for it, it won't be helping you achieve your goal of higher damage done.

Thank you for all the tips! Can you help me with some other staff suggestions as well as some builds you are using? I'm confident when it comes to picking the staff spells for a certain situation, but when it comes to head, chest and boots i'm all over the place.
