State of the Specs (Dec 8, pre-Mythic Highmaul)

[BasicBetch]

If you do go upstairs for Kargath - I would go Fire.

Brackenspore I played around with Fire for Mythic - but my gear is so optimized for frost that even with the craptastic AoE on Splitting ICE my frost is much stronger.

Mythic Tectus - Fire hands down.

Mythic Twin Ogron - This fight goes either way. Fire or Frost.

From what I've seen of Mythic Imperator VoDs - you could potentially pull of Fire since there's significantly more AoE.

Really the biggest issue Fire has is the gear that Highmaul provides favors frost drastically.

Er...the simc files I used are kinda tailored to my folders, but essentially they just do 27 copies and adjust talents/glyphs. They're ugly and not really suited for public use.

Hey no problem Komma ill mess around with them. Thanks for all you do! It is appreciated.

Here is my first try at getting all the talents sorted for the automation tool thing in simc in case anyone else wants to mess around with them.

Haven't done arcane yet and am working on getting some general sets together. Again thanks for all you do!

Fire definitely viable on Mythic Kargath haha: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/6 ... class=Mage" target="_blank

No doubt viable, but I don't think I've seen another mage with that much crit 0_0. You're actually well over 40% crit buffed.

[Garrod]

Just short of 43% raid buffed by about .2%

[Berlinia]

I guess Fire shines on that fight because of Favor of the Crowd?

[DJG]

The dps is mostly the AOE in the Ranks not on the Boss.
So for every AOE situation Fire is King.

Even on Margok Mythic, Fire is in a great shape because of Phase 1 and 3 with replication Adds und Phase 4 (Mythic Phase).

[gameorg]

nothing new that fire is good in aoe. We already know that from tectus.

I cannot wait until BRF is open and I can start transitioning into Fire/Arcane.

The mechanics for Frost are so annoying. Dumb pet and cooldowns.

IMO, frost will be still better than Arcane because there's no single target fights. Fire will be better than frost with the gear upgrade.

What about movement?

Some people on this forum may be better placed to reply but the few fights I've done on the beta were full of movement. So I personnally will stay frost, at least at the beginning.
