bring back FIRE

Post#1 » Thu Oct 22, 2026 6:39 am

hello,

some years ago i was a very happy fire mage player. i had a lot of mana regen from each crit when my team pulled a lot of mobs, i had big ignites rolling when my mage team was well coordinated and geared.
sadly now mages mostly put all their points in arcane tree, they have 1 point left to spend whereever and they dont do as well as back than.
maybe overall the new arcane changes are good for some players, but it was not necessary at all to change the fire tree / playstyle.
it is not too easy to have 4-5 well geared fire mages, coordinate them all together so you get biggest ignites possible.
it is not too easy to have a strong team that can pull and tank 20+ mobs.
for me and my team it was a long way to get all that and master it. not overaggro bosses from ignite, not die from 1 mob in a big group, using threat reduce trinkets and so on, it was a nice way to master your class and use all you can to max out damage while not overaggro and wipe your raid.
i dont think its too overpowered to have a fire mage get mana back from each crit as you cant rly solo 10+ mobs on your level. you can do it in frost spec and ppl do it in frost spec.

my suggestion: bring back fire as it was before class changes.
we can leave arcane as it is, as it is viable for leveling, solo mage in raid, be 5th or 6th mage in raid, ...
we can leave frost spec as it is, as it is viable for pvp, solo farming, etc.

i think there is a lot less mage players these days, i think that is mostly the reasons for it.

thank you.
