Fire Mage Leveling Guide – The Talent Build For Fast Leveling
But before we irrevocably dive in, we need to get over the ancient Fire vs Frost debate. Which leveling spec is the best for you depends a lot on your unique playing style.
If focusing on a hard but effective approach if for you, then go for frost.
This mage leveling guide is for players that want to focus on the fire talent erect.
Unsure which one you prefer? You can test them both and see which one works better for you, then stick to it.
With this out of our way, let’s head over to the leveling spec itself.
This is how I recommend you to spend all your talent points as soon as you get them:
- 5 Improved Fireball
- 5 Ignite
- 1 Pyroblast
- 3 Planet in Flames
- 2 Burning Determination
- 3 Improved Scorch
- 3 Master of Fundamentals
- 3 Critical Mass
- 5 Fire Power
- 1 Combustion
- 3 Pyromaniac
- 1 Blast Wave
- 2 Molten Fury
- 3 Empowered Fire
- 1 Dragons Breath
- 3 Hot Streak
- 1 Firestarter
- 5 Burnout
- 1 Living Bomb
Once you have all the core talents, I suggest you to invest in some minor vital ones and then switch to Arcane.
- 3 Incineration
- 1 Fire Starter
- 2 Arcane Subtlety
- 3 Arcane Focus
- 5 Arcane Concentration
- 3 Spell Impact
- 3 Student of the Mind
The fire spec is for players who like the straight-forward method more than complex strategies. It’s straight forward hit-them-with-a-club style play.
And since a fire mage normally fights only one mob at a time, the chances of being overwhelmed are smaller than when playing a frost mage. This can indeed be helpful with mage leveling.
One more thing though:
Although you’re a fire mage, you shoud still use Arcane or Frost spells in situations when it makes sense. I like to view spells as tools and if the opportunity arises, I often use Frost Nova on mobs or Blink away if I must.
For quick leveling I recommend the following approach:
Mount up and pull about five then Frostnova them while getting some distance. Then use all your AoE spells: Arcane Explosion, Blast Wave and Dragons Breath.
