80 Fire mage Crit cap

[Snack]

Is it possible for a fire mage to get crit capped? With the spell Critical Mass, you would be crit capped for many of your main spells with 66.7% crit. And with Molten Armor and Arcane Brilliance you would be crit capped at 56.7% crit chance unbuffed.

It got nerfed to 1.25. You need 80% crit to be crit capped now.

Just ctrl-f critical mass.

Haven't seen 80 fire mages in pve since 5.1 nerf to combustion, how are they in pve?

 

[Splosion]

Still the best PvE DPS by a very, very wide margin.

I only started soloing on my 80 fire mage after 5.1 hit. And I have full icc clear except Gunship and Dreamwalker.

Getting the "new" crit cap is not viable. I tried it, you're better off just running full mastery and hoping for Pyro crits to build up a huge ignite for a pro as fuck Combustion.

Only one downside to this is the obvious... You MIGHT not crit your Pyros. Although if your stats are even remotely decent even reforging away crit you should have around a 75% chance to crit.

You should be crit capped or close to it from int potion, buffs, tailoring cloak, and windsong proc.

 

[Doffe]

Aye, with tailoring cloak enchant you're pretty much crit capped for as long as your cooldowns are up.

 

[Lúxýeú]

with procs, im still crit caped, I'm @ like 90% w/out crit mass when procs fly around.
