The choice between Blazing Speed and Ice Floes depends on the type ofmovement during the encounter.

Ice Floes, which allows you to cast a spell while moving (the spell has 3 charges, with a recharge time of 20 seconds).

Blazing Speed, which suppresses slowing effects and increases your movement speed by 150% for 1.5 seconds (on a 25-second cooldown).

Presence of Mind, which grants you an instant-cast for the spell of your choice every 90 seconds.

Tier 1 talents have been designed with mobility in mind. They can easily be changed, thanks to Dust of Disappearance(and Tomes of the Clear Mind from level 86 to 90).You will frequently find yourself changing talents and glyphs betweenencounters, in order to adapt your play style to different mechanics.Therefore, it is important to understand what each of your talents does andhow they affect your play style. It should be poped on when the boss isn't doing any actions that stop casting.There is no longer such a thing as a default build. I only use one macro and that is the BUFF macro. More ticks which can crit, which means more Hot Streaks proced (which means more DPS). Other stat that is importat is Haste, it's good to stack it too cause you get two things. Your goal is to get atleast 40% crit in a 10 man raid (fully buffed). Most important stat as a FF mage is CRIT. Hot streak makes one pyroblast in next 10 seconds an instant cast and this buff is proced from getting 2 crits in a row. Also, stopping current spell casting is NOT needed if it expires during a cast.ģ. Do NOT refresh Living Bomb before it expires. Start spammming Frostfire bolt until your Living Bomb expires, than refresh it and continue spamming FFB. Start of the fight with Living Bomb - this is done so you don't pull aggro from the tank in the beggining of the fight.Ģ. Rotation is pretty simple but requires some getting use to.ġ. Which when you have around 400 spirit means around 5% crit, which is awsome. This glyph gives you a crit raiting of 20% of your spirit.

Glyph of Molten Armor - This glyph is not essential but it is one of my best choices. Glyph of Living Bomb - This glyph is also a must 'cause it allows your Living Bomb DoT to crit which is essential for triggering Hot Streak. Which is very important, since you already know that the whole spec is based on crit. Glyph of Frostfire - This glyph is a must 'cause not only it increases the damage of FFB for 2% it gives it 2% crit too. Just remember, since FrostFire is a combination of both fire and frost trees, its main attack (FrostFire Bolt) will benefit from both talents that affect all frost spells, and talents that affect fire spells. I recommend you make your own spec accordingly using my spec as an example.

This is the spec I use, and it's made for my style of play. However, when you have enough crit this spec becomes a good choice. Without a lot of crit this spec becomes mediocre because of the slow cast time of Frost Fire Bolt and its power. Since this spec is based on crits it should not be used wihout atleast 35% crit. WotLK FrostFire Mage (without Scorch)įrostFire spec is in my opinion the best choice for well (and correctly) geared mage. Else // Load Rest of YUI remotely (where possible)
