I would be sooooo happy if SKB was not valued so high.. unleashed inferno feels so nice. With the bracers in legion, etc. I think it has had its time to shine.

Yo this was really well edited dude. Great video. This CD-oriented version of fire mage looks super fun, and historically burst classes often do well in raid and M+ as opposed to more sustained classes like current SKB fire mage. I'm extremely hyped!! Cheers

Boy this is by far the coolest hero talent tree yet. I mean I already liked frostfire and spellslinger, but sunfury is just amazing ! I just hope they're gonna improve the visuals on the spheres to look more like the spheres from our Legion artifact. Also, I think it's high time for a visual update for meteors ^^'

friendship ended with Destro warlock, Fire mage is my new best friend Cannot wait to roll my new blood elf mage in the Remix event and get that kickass Bloodmage helm/shoulders/belt. Also with the expansion after this one being focused on Quel'thalas, I can only imagine what other blood elf-themed mogs we'll get then.

as somone who mained hunter, I agree, comparing how differently they treat the classes, mage is the MC of wow, while hunter is the estranged unwanted mistake the parents try to forget. And also hallarious, that lock, monk, mage and DK, get more pets, than BM in their hero talents^^ DK and lock is understandable, as they are also pet classes. But even monk and mage get more cool pet both visual and mechanical than BM... pack leader is litteraly just more auto attack the spec... meenwhile mages get a phoenix that popp off, DK asemble their entier archeus council, monk fight along spirit gods, and lock get's mega demons popping off. Meenwhile pack leader is, your pet auto attacks a bit more, and dark ranger "sometimes" summon a undead dog, that will probably be bugged out just like old stomp and dire beast bugs, of doing nothing, due to a pebble being in the way...

@@loqztv having to weave on a long cast pyroblast (esp during a combustion window) just feels bad. It doesnt line up with cd's well and you basically have to prioritize it when you get it because every cast of pyro after you get it is just a wasted stack. its good sometimes because you get combustion more, but the damage during comb didnt seem so strong. with unleashed inferno, casting spells will feel so good as a fire mage.

Very stoked for Sunfury, though i'm more of a arcane enjoyer. Though, the potential of not having to play SKB definitely makes me wanna mess with fire for sure. It looks insane, big fan of the Phoenix going nuts.

it made me remember arcane mage during WOTLK when arcane mage was OOM very fast but did so much burst damage that it was still worth it

Looks pretty cool actually! Any chance we could see a breakdown of spellslinger next? Im torn between the two currently just based on what ive read

Soooo cool, and on top of that the fire orbs floating above your head is such a delicious concept, looks like a fire mage, feels like a fire mage, plays like a fire mage! Can't wait to play this but also, quick question: your mana is running out every time you go haywire, does that mean that we are going to see mana being relevant again in non-healer classes or is it just a bug/temporary feature of the Alpha? Cheers Pre!

I think they should change the fire orbs to the ones in Legion that move around your head instead of the stationary weird ones we see in this video.

so memory of lucid dream ignite combustion from bfa 2.0 nice also @preheat how did u get access to the alpha if i may ask ?

I’m curious if the mana problems are intended and we are supposed to be gaining the buff that arcane surge gives us when the phoenix casts it or maybe we will have to lean into less haste because of the passive haste we gain from the tree. All in all great looking talents I hope if they do make changes it’s minor not overhaul.

If SKB isn't deleted, hopefully this is enough to unseat it

literally have burst at all times with skb, why would you not like it

Did you move bars 4/5 between your portrait frame and the enemy's? Is that how you made it look sort of like a 'weakaura'?

This is making me want to main mage over my warlock holy It sounds really fun that there's a chance for unleashed inferno over skb. Give us all the phoenixes!

What happens when your phoenix is already out, and then you generate a new spellfire sphere while NOT taking the Ignite the Future talent? Does it keep the sphere in stack for the next combustion?

I wish they would make an Arcane specific tree since they made one for Frost and Fire.

hey man.. are you gona do a frost mage gameplay also? at least how it might work with the frostfire talents? im courious how all will come toghether please

Having mained a fire mage since wrath, this is exciting.

All mage Hero talents sound so freaking good.

Oh I want to see how this plays on arcane. This seems so fun for both arcane and fire, I sure hope they manage to balance it for both at the same time, I'd hate if they nerfed it for both specs cause it overperformed on one of them.

Only with the fire orbs in the top of the head they got me , and even more with the Fenix

Would love if you would test and show us the other mage spec's as well

Does the bird have it's own HP and can it be killed by enemies? Can the bird also pull aggro on it's own or is the bird basically just a buff that has a bird animation? edit: spelling

Dear god that looks sick!

Hopefully they pull of tuning so you can choose between Sunfury no SKB and Frostfire SKB. Different dmg profiles and gameplay (and aesthetic) on two fire mage builds would be awesome. This has already been done with Enhancement shaman; Storm build and Elementalist build.

Doesn't the no SKB build synergize a lot more with Firefall than Flame Accelerant?

Burst window every 50s? Hell yeah...seems like fire mage will finally have some pug-friendly variant where you don't need to focus on dragging skbs from a pack to another a just have a burst for every pack there is. In s1 DF I enjoyed MM exactly for this reasons - every 45s salvo with double tap and I was just pomping on pull. This looks as similar pattern which I just love so much. Maining mage since s2 and not stopping anytime soon

Need to see this from the Arcane POV

bruh ive been debating maining mage in the next expansion and this is just one more reason why. i adore the idea of machine gunning all my spells out even if ill go oom in less than 30 secs lol.

is the jumping during combustion necessary ?

How do you get ya mana back if u run out so quickly?

Looks fun!

This makes me so excited. I stopped playing fire mage and returned to my old love frost mage because I hated SKB so much. But the potential of SKB no longer being required!? I am PUMPED.

this looks awesome

this reminds me of our playstyle in nathria, but juiced. would you agree or am I off base lol

it sounds like this is the spec to choose to play a lot more like how BFA mage played (which was my favorite)

that looks way more fun than the current skb stuff. juiced combustions more often

I didn't even realize I had such an issue with SKB until i started playing fire mage in DF. I just really didn't jive with it. but kept feeling like i should. What you're describing though is what i think id like to play

Dang, between this, Diabolist lock, and Templar paly, idk what I'm the most excited about

This looks great but I really hope there is a glyph option to hide the spheres. I hate things cluttering around my character that I am unable to get rid off (especially if they passively regen out of combat that makes them sound as if they're going to be permanently there). They look ugly af atm too :D. I know it has nothing to do with gameplay but I hope there is an option for us!!

What are those meteors? Is it useable in pve too?

I hope a non skb build will the best in dungeons moving forward.

God i hope this is tuned decently. I loved fire mage but couldnt stand skb so hoping this will give me an alternative to that playstyle

now i wonder how aracane is going to look like

Avoidance and leech should be great since we lack smt against chip dmg in DF.

cool phoenix! *-*

Stand power!!!

Why is is mana running out so quick?

man id wish mage rota wasnt so minmaxy. It feels like i have to press everything exactly like a video tells me or i do next to no dmg

This might actually make me try out a fire mage. I've always loved the concept and playstyle but rune of power and SKB always prevented me from giving it a serious bash because I HATE how they impact your rotation and playstyle. With their respective removal and a way to not pick SKB, I'm thinkin fire mage is back on the menu

Mage ones look cool. Diabolus and this one are winners.

I’m a healer exclusively… but this makes me want to DPS.

Before I hear your thoughts I ASSUME the "Cast Combustion" on phoenix means we're going back to the 1-minute combustion build. And honestly I hope so. I like fire for the blazing fast APM the spec brings compared to every other spec.

I just want an alternative to orange frost. God I hope this is viable.

almost enough to make me return to WoW.

After seeing how uninteresting Pack Leader (BM-SV) is for Hunters, I'm looking to other classes. The Mage is one of them, and hero talents like this look very appealing.

why they not green tho,

thats not a fire mage, that's the avatar that only uses their power for fire bending while in the avatar state

Cries as a frost mage. They could have done something equally cool for the us frosties.

holy fuckin meteors lmao

Extinction Mage, I refuse to call it anything else.

They need to make the spheres move around like Kael'thas' spheres... or like they used to be when we had Felo'melorn equipped. *2 minutes later* Yeah I'm maining Fire this expansion wtf?! As if the Combust window wasn't turbo-bursty enough, now you have a fire chicken spam Phoenix Flames, as well as G-pies ON TOP of having a machine gun meteor shower?! Yeah, it's gg.
