[SuperYakumi]

[spidy05]

[SuperYakumi]

@spidy05

lol

[azncoolz]

@spidy05 thats what i thought, she ran like an imp, im guessng its a female goblin from the voice "I cant cast that yet"

[halifaxx55]

hey does the flame orb explosion do good damage?

[shadowlarkmoon]

You should of added some music... I love this video =D

I have been a fire mage since Vanilla, I have been there for almost every change they have had for fire mages. See this make me soooo happy.. and now i can't play cause my comp is not good enough and I have no money XD

[azncoolz]

@shadowlarkmoon lol that sucks man! The best of fire mages come out and you cant play. They changed the PPC thing its so gay hunh

[flpsnk4848]

that little thing in the center of the screen that is jumping all the time,.... tell me its not a goblin

[austen1oo195]

fuking leet and now i can't bitch about LOS abuse in arenas

[LilTomWxm]

lmao hopping around, looks funny :)

[nadie154]

Finnaly some cool modifications for the fire mage!!!

[Garet109]

the casting while moving thing isn't for every spell, I think its only for scorch and as for pyroblast, that still uses a huge amount of mana so its not recommended to use by itself, they do have a spell though that can proc and make pyroblast an instant cast and cost no mana. so it looks like the rotation will probably be to stack scorch. cast fireball (flame orb for AoE), and when pyroblast procs use that.

[BillionNames]

blast wave with no knock back is kinda sucky. u can just cast a lvl 1 frostbolt instead. or cone of cold in close combat...

[Eduvudd]

I hear Pyroblast is 5secs now, wasnt it 6 before? Anyway, there are talents to make it instant also

[jefre117]

wtf op?

[lovehate399]

what is the casting time of pyroblast now?

[Barsee23]

Iliek dis

[McAwesomePants91]

holy crap...that's awesome :) might have to roll a mage lol

[Frankybluemage]

@McAwesomePants91 I will rape any ice mage right now as a fire mage......

[messMyComedy]

can you say OP lol

[nickzah]

lol casting while moving defies the whole purpose of being a caster, this is super cool but i have my theory about this being nerf after everyone has bought cata and turns 85 , blizz always have a thought behind everything

[Regerian]

@nickzah hopefully not. if you look up above he says other casters are getting similar abilities that allow them to cast while moving. Whether that be an ability that turns a spell into an instant cast for a certain amount of time or what you see in the video for fire mages. Seems like blizz certainly has a plan to make every class in Cata as equally awesome as possible :D

[superman653421]

Question: If you go fire for the speed boosts then go into arcane for the rest for the blink sprint 70% speed increase do the 2 speed improvement effects stack?

[simioni]

@superman653421 They used to stack, then the effects became unique, and ATM they dont stack but dont override each other either. If you are running at 150% speed due to blazing speed and cast improved blink, you get a boost to 170% for 3 seconds, and after that fall back to 150% until blazing speed fades.

[iulicska]

Q.Q when I was sad sometimes doing pvp a blastwave Knock of the edge always maked me smile but now... it's gone...no skillz spell...nothing...

[landonsoccer12]

Shit. That's nuts for pvp. You couldn't touch mages unless you're range.

[savage4242]

what race are you in this video? goblin? gnome?

[omega20001000]

lol u look like an imp

[Dynatryx]

how is your gnome hoping? i want my gnome to hop too while i'm killing stuff xD

[Eyeballsish1]

i think it sux that u can move while casing :( everythings going to be so much different :(

[SuperPaloh]

haha cool

[SilentxMonkey]

Pfft i dont like this, they're making it too easy. id rather get nerfed than given this op talent

[supr3m3justic3]

@SilentxMonkey

ur a fuckin idiot, stfu

[yammamu]

@SilentxMonkey im sure their gonna make it where if we are casting it are speed is redueced by 50% or something but scorch really doesnt do that much dmg

[deadly840]

@yammamu lol are you nuts it's critting up to 7K's is cata + you need scorch for hot streaks. But without hot streaks you'll be casting scorches and fireblasts mostly.

[yammamu]

@deadly840 yeah crit is 7k and 7k is still not alot maybe for wotlk it is but not for cata and hot streak doesnt even proc that much for pvp

[deadly840]

@yammamu It procs alot now even on high resilience geared people it does but in cata resilience will no longer reduce crit chance because now alot people go haste because crit is reduced. So if you're full crit you will have around 40% crit chance for fire(if not more) and if scorch hits a target all spells have an additional crit chance also in cata you'll be able to cast it while moving. scorch is like the main spell for fire pvp what else will you cast? a fireball?

[yammamu]

@deadly840 i never casted any offence ability but scorch anyways on my fire mage except instant ones and frostfire bolt when i got them in dragon breath disorientate also ty for the info on cata

[Ainigma]

with that you can solo every outdoor boss!

[simioni]

@Ainigma Keep in mind that's 160% movement speed, it's not this easy to avoid being hit outside of vashj'ir (you have to run in circles or mobs reset very early due to their flee zone being narrowed down by your long spell range). That said, all DPS casters (well, not shamans ATM) are getting some low cost, spammable DPS while moving. In the fire mage / destro lock case it just looks cooler cuz it involves casting instead of instants.

[crazedout008]

THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!!!@#%$!

[shawaam]

I love the mobility fire provides in its current state, but this is just way too awesome xD Oh well, as long as we will be able to kill healers this expansion I'll be happy.

[jamminshammy]

must resist lvling mage....not resisting well

[jaredwtfpwn]

whats the gear like and can u crit liek 20k norm now?

[simioni]

@jaredwtfpwn full t10.5. This vid has been recorded in a beta build where crit modifier talents had been disabled, so crits in this video are 150% damage. In the current beta build 200% crits are back as a passive for all mages. Ignite and the fire mastery are there as well, so crits cause about 260% damage now while on base mastery at level 83, but can scale even further if you get more mastery stat in your gear.

[evol121]

this looks great tho new blastwave sux, looks crap for pvp now, have to target it? bah

[amoeboy]

fiyaaa powwaaaa~~

rollin fire mage for cata, WOW VANILLA 2.0 BITCHES lookout!!

i may just go allie just to piss off all my horde buddies, HAHAHAH!!!

mage + 70% run for 10 or wotf.... hmmmm decisions indeed

nice aoe dps in this video for sure though!

[shawaam]

@amoeboy Uhm, if you check the mage talents, you will notice that there are plenty of sprint talents as it is xD

[fisttaface]

omg.....i cant wait...this is going to be nasty.....fire mages and slow em down with a frostbolt and scorch the fudge outta stuff now while blinking to gain more room and having living bomb on targets....ooooohhhh weeeeeeee

[serioususername]

this bouncing gnome made me giggle throughout the entire video

[skrili]

jep fire will be the pvp spec :P

[Magnaz4456]

lol any one wanna help me decide to level either mage or spriest XD? i dont wanna heal and this video is tempting me to go mage X_X

[zxeonx]

Couldent really see Flame orb.. But i think i did . this vid is cool

[omega20001000]

all mages will have mana regen thanks to the talent master of elements

a tier 1 2/2 fire talent that will refund 15%/30% mana of any spell that u use if u get a crit

[Cortezpwn671]

Your fire spells shouldn't be working :P

[Cortezpwn671]

What place is this where you're under water? O_O

[MrAzhrarn]

@Cortezpwn671 It's Vash'ir (not sure on spelling) and it's close to the Maelstrom. It's one of the new areas in the expansion, suited to high level players. you get a permanent water-breathing buff and a buff that in essence is "planeswalking" from the vanilla beta, increasing your speed by a nice amount when running along the ocean floor.

[Xfr0stbiteX]

I'm guessing that it still does, but the water prevents them from really going anywhere since its still water.

[Sagramorbald]

Blast wave no longer knocks back?

[philgokuz1]

I thought kiting was for hunters. Guess I'm rolling a mage.

[simioni]

@philgokuz1 Frost mages are the kitting masters. They are loosing frostbite for cata, but they are getting an ice lance that hits as hard as a frostbolt, so, who knows...

[pearlblack]

with no spirit how do we regen mana in combat if mage armor is not used??

i saw an arcane mage video and the only spell that consumes mana is arcane blast... but the blasts only consume mana if he spams 4x stacks for extended period of time.. otherwise he is almost full mana all the time....

[simioni]

@pearlblack All casters DPS regen mana. I'm note sure if it is related to intellect or just plain passive, neither am I sure that it will make it's way to retail, but it's how it works ATM. My 83 locks on quests and dungeons blues regens 2382 mp5 (47600 total mana), my 82 mage in ICC purples regens 1694 mp5 (33893 total mana). Mage has just a bit more than 100 mp5 from spirit, lock has no spirit at all.

[EternaFYI]

lol you look like a little squirrel when you move.

[ihatecandy01]

Holy fk!@ fire is finaly gona be viable for pvp again!! omg woot, finaly lol i hope they dnt nerf this xD

[Xbox360fana]

@ihatecandy01 Fire did great dps, just not any good in arena, but I played it all the way through so this makes me HAPPPYYYY

[yammamu]

@ihatecandy01 fire been viable for pvp fire is the only spec for mages that can own 5 ppl at one time what are you talking about noob ...

[azncoolz]

@ihatecandy01 It was still viable for pvp but you needed crazy skill n at least relentless gear

[Rebseh]

All I could think about was how annoying gnomes look :/

[Seirios86]

i saw your build and it doesnt seem to be either pvp or pve.. are some talents bugged and people dont take them?

do mages have any mana problems in pvp? ;o

[simioni]

@Seirios86 I has just playing around on the new talents and mechanics. As you can see in the video, mana is not a issue for fire at all, even using mana shield. Mage armor regens a lot of mana now, evocate has a shorter channel time, mana gems are still there. Frost is still very mana efficient, too. Arcane is another history, since you can still run OOM by spamming AB, but the design of this spec is for you to manage your DPM anyway.

[IVeNoMII]

Why are you running like an imp? (or is that how gnomes actually run /shudder)

[simioni]

@IVeNoMII It's how creatures with short legs run when they are above 100% movement speed. In Vashj'ir you get a perma-buff that allows water breath and increases sea floor movement speed by 60%, so gnomes and goblins run like that all the time. You can, of course, press the space bar and swim too, but some skills like blink or area-targeted ones are very hard to use without a floor.

[Welovesmurfs]

ok cheers :D :D :d

[Welovesmurfs]

so blast wave doesnt pushback now?

[simioni]

@Welovesmurfs Blast wave no longer knock back targets, instead it reduces their movement speed by 75% for 3 seconds. It's now targeted and on a 15 sec CD.

[Frostshizzle]

Nurf!

[Thatoneguy776]

Fire is back? :o

[simioni]

@Thatoneguy776 Aparently, yes! I have to say that it's currently a great pleasure to play as fire.

[Azke94]

nerf



[adolphjlj1]

[sergel02]

this is cool
