Great video man, Question, Im really curious what your plan is going into SL looking at the order of crafting legendarys.
If you liked this video please consider clicking that thumbs up and sharing it with your friends! More videos to come soon for Frost and Arcane.

Cooldown changed from 45 sec cooldown to 1 min cooldown
This is a pretty substantial nerf to nightfae and Fire overall. Will keep updating this comment with more information. Looks like maybe Venthyr is the play now for Fire Mages. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news guys. 😔
time stamp for "dont nerf" 22:39
Hi Preheat! Lovely work as always. Your video makes me wonder couple of questions:
– I saw you equip a PvP trinket like we did in bfa for fire mage. (The one that gives intellect when you use it) should we use it in SL too considering we are going to take kindling instead of meteor? Cause they (trink and comb) won’t share CD if we take kindling
-if I have a Firestorm proc during combustion, should I finish my classical rotation or should I follow the hints from Firestorm?
-is still mastery our best choice for secondary stats??
Thank you a lot! 🔥
Can you share what addons you are using to know when you are hating up or hot striking ?
Will you do the same guide for Frost and Arcanes ?
So, Nightfae overall for mages?
I prefer Frost over Fire/Arcane and Im going to be leveling as Frost as that seems to be the fastest/best specc for leveling. But I heard Necro is the covenant for Frost. Do I go Nightfae anyway? Going to be play Fire/Arcane anyway
which is better for fire mage rotation, on M+ scenario:
using shifiting power during combustion for more fire blast charges?
Or just using shifting power on CD to get more CDR on combustion?
I saw some high RIO mages using on CD to use more combustions
What's up with the dislikes? this was a great guide!
Hands down the best mage guides out there. Thanks for doing what you do.
Nice video.To create a char,need to be seasonal or hardcore,just like Diablo 3?
what the best spec for M+?
Fantastic video as usual. Question: will Podtender and Cauterize BOTH proc whenever you'd take fatal damage, effectively canceling one out?
Looks like both Podtender and Cauterize will both proc the first time you take fatal damage. But then, since Caut has a 5min CD and Podt a 10min cd, they would alternate thereafter.
Is frost a no go anymore?
Nice guide, now for season one what spec would you suggest for M+ and raiding, i like fire but i don't know what's it's position right now on beta on both. You also track ignite is it necessary for the maximum dmg from PF? 🙂
Wow! Great guide!
Rogue guide PLSSSSS
Wb!
Thanks!
Thanks for the guide! Clearly the best out there.
I have a question tho cause im new to fire. When you are casting a fireball and waiting to the ball to actually hit the target im obv spamming fireball again to cast a new. IF i do get the Hot streak proc, should i stopcasting the fireball or should i continue and shoot both fire and a instant pyro ?
Atm it feels like I getting of alot of fireballs aswell togheter with Pyroblasts outside of combust.
Thank you dude, cant wait to see ur frost guide 🙂
Good guide.
Thankyou for guide! I'm nervous what spec to choose at start for mythic raid progression.. guess we are all in similar boat!
man i want to play Kyrian so badly for the loreee, mog etc but the NF ability looks amazing for fire! – thanks again for these videos mate, they REALLY help!
Great Guide Mate, thanks. Looking forward to see what Frost/Arcane looks like. Happy gaming in a few days, can't wait!!!
gonna level as frost, then switch to fire when i hit 60
Im looking foward for the frost video, not so sure which spec/covenant i'll be playing yet. Thank you for the great content.
I got a good laugh out of the tags on the video – #showtooltip
now i'm ready for shadowlands, thanks! prehNice
Solid video Preheat. Quick question, what addon is tracking duration like TW, combustion, HS and such?
Thanks for the guide! I learned quite a bit!
Hey man TYSM for this video, I was kinda lost after the frost nerf And I have learned so much here !
Also, I checked your UI to find the stack of Weak aura you have in the upper left part of the screen but it's not the same as the one in the video.
Where can I find it please ?
Again Great work, smashed Like !
What would rotation be for 2 targets?
Hello,
what am I doing wrong ? Im casting Combustion in midcast fireball, but it doesnt crit. So I have to use fire blast to get hot streak. Trying to do same way like in the video.
Preheat do you have a link to your WA's, specifically the Firestorm one?
Hello, as new mage main in SL I was prepared to go full frost but fire looks like much fun, Thanks for amazing guide! Waiting for a frost and arcane one. Btw do you recommend to wait with crafting legendary for hc week untill we know which spec/item is the best?
I dont know if I missed it but do you only use phoenix flames when it is about to reach 3 stacks in both ST and AOE?
Awesome guide mate, do you think Fire spec will perform well in raid or frot is still the spec to main ?
3:57 Mage hair movement spell!
I liked and subbed. Thank you for the content 😀 Look forward to frost! TV frost was the most fun I had playing mage in a long long time.
I want to play pve and pvp with my fire mage, what covenant is the best option for that?
Can you recommend a great weak aura for a fire mage? 🙂 ps luv your vids
