We all know that patches change things and we have come to expect it from playing World of Warcraft as long as we have. Before, PvPing a Fire Mage was unbelievable. Every good Mage was frost. That was just the way you had to do things if you wanted to win. You had the occasional arcane Mage, but you never saw a purely Fire Mage going head to head with Warriors and Druids. Fire didn't work because it had no way of controlling the opponent. It could do damage but that Warrior is going to out-damage you if he gets close, which Fire failed to prevent. Then thing have changed, fire Mages rejoice. It's time to get into PvP.
Fire Mages are about to rock in BG but pretty much lose their abilities in Arena. Because we'll explain the cookie cutter Fire Mage spec right now. This is the spec you'll need if you're going into BG as a Fire Mage. It's been carefully tested by a multitude of players and it's shown that it is the hands down best spec for BG time and time again. The reason is that it is fast, efficient and it is going to give you a few tricks up your sleeve that you wouldn't be able to do with say Arcane/Fire or just Fire alone.
0/56/15 maximizes all of your moves and tricks in the BG, including a heavy emphasis on Area of Effect damage. While it's true that it's a fire spec, it also delves into the realm of frost to get the one and only Icy Veins talent. We all know that PvP is about speed, so increasing your spell casting by 20% with Icy Veins is nothing to brush off. You're going to win battles solely because of this talent, it's just that good. Whatever you do, don't forget to get this talent. You can try and adapt this build to your own play style as much as you want, but do not drop Icy Veins. Impact is going to give you a nice interrupt and stun to make up for the immobilizing effects you're losing in frost, and sometimes they work even better, especially if an opponent is up close.
Blazing Speed will help you get out of sticky situations, but still you're going to have to be fast and already have your escape path planned. Planning is the number one thing that anybody can do in battlegrounds to survive long enough. I'm a professional logger, and before I go up to fell a tree, I always have an escape path planned in case that tree doesn't come down in the direction that I expect. So should you in battlegrounds. Always have a planned route to get out of a sticky situation. Blazing speed will make it a lot easier should you ever need to use this escape route.
The Fire-starter talent is going to give you instant flame-strikes. That's right folks. This is where your Area of Effect comes in handy. After you blast wave to get out of the way or Dragon's Beath, hit the ground with an instant flame-strike and you're talking some crazy damage. Impact is one of the key talents that make this build work as well, along with Icy Veins.
Hot Streak is the final talent that adds the burst to this build. It states that when you crit twice, you're going to have an instant cast pyroblast. Put all of this together and you've got a recipe for destruction. You have the ability to Fireball, Fire-blast, instant pyroblast, blast wave, and then instant Flame-strike your opponent. If they aren't dead after that, then well, they're badass.
As above, that is all about Fire Mage PvP post 3.1. We best hope that you will enjoy it best.
