I took one more look at your mage and noticed you got a nice upgrade. Cunning of the Cruel is the second best trinket what fire mage can get. The second trinket that you have is Insignia of the Corrupted Mind which isn't bad, but if i remember right you have Will of Unbinding which is better than Insignia of the Corrupted Mind due to the amount of intelligence.

Thank you, like I said I played arcane for a long time so my knowledge of fire isn't as good as my knowledge of arcane, that being said I will edit my gear appropriately, in answer to the question about timed combustion no I don't time it, I wait till it's off cooldown and I have a load of dots of the target, in game if you could help me to time it to max out my dps it would be greatly appreciated. My knowledge may be basic but if I switched to arcane as my main spec I could completely soft haste and hit cap myself to get the most from my gear :P I just require the information in fire to be able to do so :D

Haste is important so we can cast fireball faster but more importantly the more haste rating we have the more ticks on living bomb, pyroblast and combustion we get, each of which causes more damage to the target and increases our dps.


This shows you have basic knowledge of your class and spec, but nothing more.
There are couple of haste break points that you should be aware of. Elitistjerk has lot of information and i copied some of it here.

The amount haste you need to get extra tick for LB
+1___516 Haste
+2___3478 Haste
+3___6432 Haste
+4___9389 Hast

The amount haste you need to get extra tick for LB
+1___-
+2___813 haste
+3___2005 haste
+4___3185 haste

We can ignore the second tick from LB and the fourth tick from combustion since both requires more than 3000 haste which isn't reasonable. That means our most important haste break point is third tick to combustion, which is 2005 haste rating. this is easily achieved and more so when we get 500 haste from our 2p tier bonus, dropping it to 1505 haste rating. Anything more than 1505 haste can be reforged to crit. This means that you have 408 haste too much. Keep in mind that these values requires Netherwind presence talent and 5% haste raid buff, which our raid group has.

I use combustion by clicking the 4 button on my mouse :P lol, it is used when you have critical mass, pyroblast, living bomb all on the target and your pyroblast gets a critical hit


This doesn't give me anything to work with. Do you time your combustion with something?
Edit: And with something i mean something else than your dots and critical mass.

So my mirror images dealt fire damage to the target and no frost damage, it was either that or glyph of conjuring or glyph of arcane brilliance, but I thought glyph of mirror image would be more useful.


I checked your two sites what they say about this glyph and i didn't find anything, but i did find what elitistjerk said about this.
Quote:
Glyph of Mirror Image is a dps loss for Fire. With the glyph Mirror Images only cast Fireball. However, without the glyph Mirror Images cast Frostbolts and Fireblast. For whatever reason using the glyph prevents Mirror Images from casting Fireblast.
In addition, the fireblast is a 6-8 second CD that does not consume a GCD for the Mirror Images. Because the Mirror Images cast several fireblasts the damage from frostbolt and fireblast is greater than the damage of fireballs with the glyph.

Glyph of conjuring is useful in a long fights like madness, where you might need to make another mana gem.

Sounds a nice guy, and seems to know his stuff.

I hope and pray Hievna never asks me questions like that about Hunter!

Thanks Eliphias your name rings a bell :P Galadruin sorry but it was another Dumbledore because I started at the very start of Cataclysm.

Why is haste important to fire mages and how much do we need haste?

- Haste is important so we can cast fireball faster but more importantly the more haste rating we have the more ticks on living bomb, pyroblast and combustion we get, each of which causes more damage to the target and increases our dps.

How/when do you use combustion?

- I use combustion by clicking the 4 button on my mouse :P lol, it is used when you have critical mass, pyroblast, living bomb all on the target and your pyroblast gets a critical hit

why did you pick glyph of mirror image?

- so my mirror images dealt fire damage to the target and no frost damage, it was either that or glyph of conjuring or glyph of arcane brilliance, but I thought glyph of mirror image would be more useful.

I am glad there is a mage guru in the guild cause I have been in arcane for so long and completely know the spec - reforging, gear stats,rotations, cooldowns ect. I recently changed to fire and even though by dps is still good and my mana consumption and rotation is ok, I still have much to learn about different scenarios and priority of stats (e.g proportion of crit to haste)

not sure if this is the same dumbledore I pugged a fair amount of Wrath raids with - if so I recall them being pretty decent person.

I recomend you look at Hievna's questions as he is our Mage Guru

Try to give as much details as possible with your own words.
