![]() They need to use blink, COC, and frost nova to avoid being hit, period.įor those who believe fireball is the way to go are noobs. You will be hard pressed to outlast any other class in a blow for blow fight as mages have incedibly low health, armor, and cant heal. Even with the amount of resists I can get in there, I still do more damage then most of our other mages.Ĭomment by Thottbot For anybody who knows anything about playing mages knows you cant stand around while shooting spells. When fighting raids or in MC, I'll typically scorch until I get a clearcast and then throw out a free fireball or arcane missiles on the longer boss fights. But for mana economy and interuptability, scorch is the superior spell. ![]() Plus, a properly scpecced fire mage will crit with scorch more often with the incinerate talent.įireball is still a great spell, it has a greater max range and makes better use of my +fire gear than the faster spells. Yes you do more damage, but the mana cost is greater and again you are casting fewer times which means fewer clearcasts. This is assuming you have 3 second casting fireballs like a good fire mage should. If you want to see how this compares to fireballs, I usually do about 750-900 with all of my gear, I'll be generous and say a 850 average :įireball : 4,250 damage / 1,975 mana - per 15 seconds Also take into account that a critted arcane missile does an immediate 150% damage, while a scorch does 210% damage over 4 seconds. This is on average without bringing in to account critical hits and clearcasting.ġ0 casts of scorch will yield more clearcasts and therefore, cheaper costs than only 3 casts of Arcane Missiles.Īs for critical hits, a properly specced fire mage has a greater chance to crit with scorch than an arcane mage can crit with arcane missiles. ![]() Scorch : 4,000 damage / 1,500 mana - per 15 secsĪrcane Missiles : 3,420 damage / 1,785 mana - per 15 secs Let's see how this works over 15 seconds to better prepare the averages. So 5 missiles = 1140 damage over 5 seconds for 595 mana. At level 60, with all of my +damage gear, I do about 375-400 damage on a normal hit with scorch.Ĥ00 damage for only 150 mana and a 1.5 second casting time.Ĭompare this to Arcane Missiles. One of our greatest spells in the arsenal. Comment by ThottbotScorch is, in my opinion.
