Fire Mage - PVE Guide - Patch 7.3.5

• Devastating Strikes (Passive Effect): Casting Pyroblast or Flamestrike while Hot Streak is active has an 8% chance to instantly reactivate Hot Streak.
• Frozen Talons (Passive Effect): Fireball also applies Conflagration to the target, dealing (20% ability power). additional Fire damage over 8 sec. Enemies affected by Conflagration or Ignition have a 10% chance to catch fire and deal (45% ability power) p. Fire damage to nearby enemies.
• Runic Attenuation (Passive Effect): Your Fireball and Pyroblast spells always critically strike when the target is above 90% health.

Perhaps this branch is one of the most important to fully define our role in meetings.

Devastating Strikes (Passive Effect) it will be our default talent if we want to do much more damage against a single target. With this talent we increase the probability of casting Pyroblast many more times in the same encounter.

Frozen Talons (Passive Effect) It is a talent focused on area damage. By throwing Fireball at the same target, we get them to explode in a chain, distributing the fire debuffs to the rest of the targets, also receiving the damage from the explosion they produce.

Although Runic Attenuation (Passive Effect) It seems to be quite a good option because we do not need to launch the burst at the beginning of the meeting, the damage that we can generate in the rest of the fight decreases a lot by having this talent. Perhaps it is best not to use it at any time since we can get much more damage with the other two.

• Freezing Fog (Passive Effect): Teleports you 20m forward unless there is an obstacle. It is not affected by the global cooldown and can be cast at the same time as other spells. It has a maximum of 2 charges.
• Killer Efficiency (Passive Effect): Causes an explosion around you, dealing (118% ability power) p. Fire damage to all enemies within 8 yards and their movement speed reduced by 70% for 4 sec.
• Horn of Winter (Instant / 45s cooldown): Dealing Fire damage to targets within 8 yards of you recharges your Blazing Barrier for an amount equal to 40% of the damage dealt.

Personally, in this branch I use Freezing Fog (Passive Effect) since it increases the number of Transfer charges to 2 and allows me to have much more mobility in the different encounters where I have to constantly move. In addition, if we have the talents of the artifact weapon unlocked, we will receive a healing of up to 40% of the maximum health of your character.

Killer Efficiency (Passive Effect), Like Horn of Winter (Instant / 45s cooldown), are talents that are used against various targets that are at a minimum distance from your position. In this case, you can choose either of the two since there is not much difference. Killer Efficiency (Passive Effect) used to deal more damage to various targets and Horn of Winter (Instant / 45s cooldown) is used to increase the amount of damage that Blazing Barrier can absorb.

I recommend using Killer Efficiency (Passive Effect) if you have someone to keep the agriculture while Horn of Winter (Instant / 45s cooldown) it is preferable to use it if you are alone.

• Setello (Passive effect): Create nearby 3 copies of you that cast spells and attack your enemies. Lasts 40 sec.
• Glacial Advance (Instant / 15s Cooldown / Consumes 1 Rune): Places a rune of power on the ground for 10 sec, increasing your spell damage by 40% while you stand within 8 yards. It has a maximum of 2 charges.
• Avalanche (Passive effect): Magical energy flows within you while you are in combat. Stacks up to 20% damage, then decays to 4% damage. The cycle repeats every 10

In this branch of talents, you can choose any of the three according to the one you like the most.

As advice, Setello (Passive effect) you can use it in encounters where you have to constantly move and there is no area damage that can destroy your copies.

Glacial Advance (Instant / 15s Cooldown / Consumes 1 Rune)On the contrary, it is used in encounters where you do not have to move much or even against targets that give you a great margin to attack without having to move to avoid areas or other abilities.

If you don't want to have to be aware of the right moment to launch Glacial Advance (Instant / 15s Cooldown / Consumes 1 Rune), Avalanche (Passive effect) It is your talent since you can forget about having to control certain extra skills and you will only focus on your basic rotation. I don't recommend it since you can get a lot more damage with the previous ones but, if you are still new to this specialization and do not want to eat your head a lot, this is the most suitable.

• Might of the Abomination (Passive Effect): Dragon's Breath always critically hits and contributes to Hot Streak.
• Blinding Hail (Instant / 1min cooldown): Reduces the cooldown of Fire Blast by 2 sec and increases the maximum number of charges by 1.
• Winter is coming (Passive effect): When you gain Warm-up, you have a 20% chance to instantly trigger Hot Streak.

Might of the Abomination (Passive Effect) It is used to do much more damage in area while also granting you a Hot Streak charge.

Blinding Hail (Instant / 1min cooldown) It is the talent to use against unique targets as we have more snapshots throughout the match, granting us a Hot Streak charge each time we use it.

Winter is coming (Passive effect) It is not a bad talent but… it is best to use the previous ones if you want to have a defined role, be it areas or burst.

• Volatile Shield (Passive Effect): Casting Scorch increases your movement speed by 30% for 3 sec.
• Permanent Frost (Passive Effect): Summons a Ring of Frost at the targeted location for 10 sec. Enemies entering the ring are incapacitated for 10 sec. Maximum of 10 objectives.
• Relentless Attack (Passive Effect): Frost Nova now has 2 charges.

In this branch you can choose the talent that you like the most.

Volatile Shield (Passive Effect) if you want to run away from someone or something, Permanent Frost (Passive Effect) if you want to freeze a large group of targets that are at a great distance and Ice Ward to root targets that are at a minimum distance from your position.

• Frost Scythe (Instant / Consumes 1 rune): The target becomes a living bomb, receives (118% ability power) for damage. Fire damage over 4 sec and then explodes, dealing (94.4% ability power) p. additional Fire damage to the target and all other enemies within 10 yards. Other enemies hit by this blast also turn into a living bomb, but this effect cannot spread further.
• Frozen Pulse (Passive Effect): This talent affects Fireball on Fire Mage. 25% chance to explode on impact, dealing 50% additional damage to the target and all other enemies within 8 yards.
• Impending Storm (Passive Effect): Flamestrike leaves behind an area of ​​flame that burns enemies for [8 * (29.5% ability power)]. Fire damage over 8 sec.

In this case, all talents are for areas. The best one you can use for single target encounters would be Frost Scythe (Instant / Consumes 1 rune) since it is a snapshot with which you will inflict extra damage when exploding. Frozen Pulse (Passive Effect)on the contrary, it grants you the possibility to do damage in areas immediately… if you are lucky with its probability.

Impending Storm (Passive Effect) is that I personally use for areas, if the enemies are controlled at the same point, this talent can become the best of the three.

• Disintegration (Instant / 1,5 min cooldown): Fireball, Pyroblast, and Fireblast critical strikes reduce the remaining cooldown of Combustion by 1 sec.
• Sindragosa's Breath (Instant / 2 min cooldown / 15 Runic Power per second): Launches a blast of 6 ash blasts that travel in an arc. Each deals (76.7% ability power) p. Fire damage to enemies it hits. Damage increased by 30% if the target is affected by your Ignition.
• Hungry Rune Weapon (Instant / 3 min cooldown): Summons a meteor that hits the target location after 3 sec. Deals (1298% of Spell power) p. Fire damage divided evenly among all targets within 8 yards and burns the ground, dealing [8 * (41.3% ability power)] p. Fire damage over 8 sec to all enemies in the area.

Disintegration (Instant / 1,5 min cooldown) It will help you decrease the cooldown of Combustion, our main burst. With this talent you can get to throw it three or four times per encounter.

Sindragosa's Breath (Instant / 2 min cooldown / 15 Runic Power per second) it is a talent that stands in the middle of the other two, both ironically and literally. If you want to take more damage against a single target, Disintegration (Instant / 1,5 min cooldown) it is your talent. On the contrary, if you want to do more damage in area, Hungry Rune Weapon (Instant / 3 min cooldown) it will be a better choice.

Hungry Rune Weapon (Instant / 3 min cooldown)Despite having a 1.5 second impact delay (causing us to occasionally fail the ability if the targets are in motion), it deals a large amount of damage, being one of the most devastating talents for the mage's areas.

• satyr: Permanently enchant a necklace to summon a satyr from time to time, which will launch a Nightmare Bolt at your enemy, dealing damage.
• agility: Permanently enchant a cloak to increase Intellect by 200.
• write- Permanently enchant a ring to increase Mastery by 200.
