Ignite mechanics

[Snack]

So the tooltip of Ignite says something like 'the damage you deal with your fire spells, will add up into an even bigger ignite damage'. But I am having a hard time getting my ignite to tick for over 40k? I've seen Zmirnøff's solo videos and I can see on his CombustionHelper that it says like 100k x 58, I can only get it to 50k x 30 max. We have excactly same gear.

Has it something to do with rotations, or how can you get the highest possible Ignite for your combustion?


This is my gear if you need it to answer: Cornesso @ Draenor - Community - World of Warcraft

spam 3-4 fireballs, then spam the hell out of pyro, use pres mind pyro, get another free sets of pyros then pop combust. use macro CD b4 starting the fireballs

For have a good ignite, I use 4 fireballs, 3 instant pyro, and if i had windsong mastery proc meantime i use one more pyro with infernal blast. You can see my rotations on my videos : Chaîne de Sàw - Suramar - YouTube
But i'm gnome so we can do more with the troll berserker buff

When you solo for instance OS25 3D, do you succeed in 1st try? Or just wait for right CD's/crits to pop? Cause I tried like 5 times, and only got him to 2000/7500k... Got so frustrated I just soloed 10 3D instead...

Not in 1st try of course but i was really not full stuffed, i didn't try since.
Do you use a macro for burst?

Only a few days left with that sick combust dmg. 5.4 patch notes quote:

Combustion on targets affected by the Mage's Ignite now deals additional damage equal to 20% of Ignite's damage per tick (down from 50%).

Luckily I solod while I could and obtained all the mounts I was after a long time ago

its still going to be strong even after the nerf I would think.

 

[Nkt@EU]

Still a major nerf

Last time I checked, was about a month ago. I was hitting 90 - 95k on the dummy on the PTR compared to 200 - 250k on live.

So yeah, coupled with the enchant nerfs you're talking a burst nerf of like 60 - 65% damage.

Essentially fire mages will no longer be Gods in PvE and I imagine the same for PvP too. Bringing them back down to the level that most casters have been all along.
