lmfao at people attempting to defend that

aj mage jokers

Fire Mage burst is way too high.  Against well played fire mages, I have to use a significant cooldown on every single deep freeze.  Next patch, with blanket CS gone, this problem will be way worse.

fire mage burst is nutssssssssssss, topics like these however are quite silly, you can't expect serious feedback or anything when you post a title like this, its aj and there are trolls everywhere.

The general consensus among Warriors seemed to be that nobody liked waiting around for a 5 stack to be able to end a game, or having it happen randomly with the same result.

The problem now is that the class is super boring to play.  You sit in one stance all game long and blow all your cooldowns at once and hope you gib somebody before they can react.  If that plan doesn't work then you try and survive for 3-5 minutes until the cooldowns are up again.

Even without the 500% TfB they are still very strong in the damage department, but Blizzard is seeing to that in 5.2.  What Blizzard isn't doing anything about, though, is Mage burst damage.  That's what this thread is about.  The fact that a Mage could do that to a Warrior in D stance is just gross.  He might be rolling with low resil, but seriously 5% resil isn't going to make that kind of damage suddenly manageable.

This sort of garbage is why everyone is putting as many resil gems as they can get into their sockets.

Correct...

[Jinngofagswag]

Stuck at 2.1 - Tells every mage to l2p.

[Durial]

Just need a few people with red helmets to come here and express their opinion and agree that it is quite absurd damage to be doing as a fire mage.

After that, all the people previously trying to defend the damage or blame the warrior for not doing this or that will either leave the forums or change their opinion because they now don't look as cool as mr red helmet guys.

But anyways not gemming any resil is dumb, reconsider your options

[deprivelol]

you should try gemming resil, but ur prolly a mongo and ur all about dat 1 shot

I think the blanket silence nerf will actually make this less of a problem as the mage won't be able to blanket out of the deep freeze or blanket another caster to stop peels.  We'll have to see how this plays out with the changes to warriors though, I feel like the stuns were one of the few things stopping me during a deep on a healer.  The burst can be a bit ridiculous though.  It's sort of similar to the warrior gibbing that was going on before the warrior nerf.

Take it from someone who has played fire since day 1

Firemage burst is at it's highest ever.
And no, haste combustion season 11 can't even compare.

The worst part even is season 11 burst had to be set up + defend your combustion being despelled
Right now all you do is make a macro doing nova -> deepfreeze -> alter time pyro, altertime pyro, pyro, pom, pyro and win.

Bring fire back to wotlk times, seperates the good ones from the bads and all will be fine
