From the Ashes flipped. This now grants the Mastery while Phoenix Flames is on cooldown.

Feel the Burn now works with Phoenix Flames.

Mass Barrier provides your barrier as useful group buff to 4 nearby allies.

Mass Invisibility moved from being a PvP talent to the class tree.

Shifting Power moved from the capstone layer to the top of the tree.

Meteor moved to Fire tree, no longer splits damage without the follow up capstone: Deep Impact.

Intensifying Flame is a raid focused talent to increase Mastery: Ignite outside of AoE. In theory, this talent provides a tuning knob for ignite in AoE vs Single Target.

Ice Cold provides an alternative to Ice Block, letting you cast it off the GCD and continue moving and cast for the duration at the cost of immunity. It should be noted that this also works with Cryo-Freeze making it an extremely strong cooldown when you don't need immunity.

Comment by hashtagfredI'll still probably pick it up purely for fun, but unleashed inferno being that far behind means I'm not gonna be running fire mage as much as I thought I would beComment by AngryPomUnleashed inferno is 0% picked in logs. At any boss in mythic. Why devs add undertuned talents for "rework" ?Whats the point? Why not add talent for night elf 100% flip chance on jump for 15 sec with 2 min cd for skb alternative? That would be cool during combustion. -10k damage anyway.Comment by NzallUnleashed inferno is 0% picked in logs. At any boss in mythic. Why devs add undertuned talents for "rework" ?Whats the point?

I stoped playing because of fire mage state and I'm not coming back to this awful reworkComment by BrimzWhat is this?
Hardcast flamestrike, enjoy your ~~400k~~ sorry, only 380k (unplayable) overall with PI and Augvoker.

Thats the guide.Comment by LonewarRune of power wasn't the problem, fraking Sun King's Blessing was. I stoped playing because of fire mage state and I'm not coming back to this awful reworkComment by MattariasSo happy with the changes. I don't care about dps loss, Unleashed Inferno is way more fun than hardcasting. Fire was never meant to be a hardcasting spec.Comment by Ammertossmust be nice to be Blizzard's favorite class. Unlimited damage, unkillable, tons of group utility incl mass barrier while other classes like hunter and DH literally bring nothing.
