BG Fire Mage Help!

Beats on Fourteens
I am in need of some help for gear choices and gems. This is my mage as of now, i know needs tome work on dps legs, and chants and spen, but as of now, does it have a good mix of crit and haste? I like playing with low resil, so the resil is fine for me, as it is just for bgs.



Here is its link:

This will also be my gear set for frost as well, as i have found that is works well for both.



So discuss:



a. is the crit/haste/ sp fine? of does it need some work? IE: what %'s should I try to reach in crit and haste?



b. Is there any stat not to get a high % in? haste/ crit.



Thank You!
 
4pc for fire is pretty useless, you are better off getting gear that would overall increase your SP the most. people often overlook the fact that fire has 2 sources of damage. Pyroblast! and Combustion. the 4pc is just an overall inferior gear choice and instead you could probably get more survivability and SP/haste/crit from sunwell gear. you could also trim down the amount of haste you have to the haste cap for an additional dot tick for LB/Combustion. i believe that cap is 25.15%, roughly around there. fire is based around this simple priniple. Int > Haste until 25% then go Crit. base your gear around this priority while throwing in the amount of resilience you are comfortable with and then all you need to worry about is maximizing your playstyle for fire.



your spec should be changed as so. take 1 point outta pyromaniac and put in firepower, the 1% is way better than pyromaniac. also prime glyphs.

Sorry..but no...

Fire mage is all about crit/int. Haste is useless. Dont gem/enchant/reforge item Haste. Play FULL PVE. Trust me is really really fun. This is my character, it's full BiS Fire PVE and i suggest you to be your goal

I'm always 1° in Kb/dmg even when we loose.

Ofc u'll have big problem vs rogues but as fire u'll be 2 shotted anyway by rogues even with 300 resi. Fire dont have high survavibility as frost so the point is to kill your target before he can kill you.

It's 1 year that i play only this character in this spec so i think u can trust me. I did also 2.2k in 2vs2 and 3vs3 playng fire pve without resi ( not so impressive but for sure need more effort then spam icelance constantly )

so this equip is usable with good result also in arena.

As gliph use: Pyro and Living Bomb as prime, Evocation and Dragon's Breath as Major.

1 more thing. Frost BiS gear is totaly different by fire one.

http://chardev.org/?profile=152575 this is my gear as frost ( that i dont use ). The important thing as frost is: cap crit for shatter ( 33,33%), cap hit rating (4%), cap spell penetration(75), then go intellect/haste.
