Fire Mage talents
Five rows of three. Pick one per row; rows 1 to 4 are passive and row 5 teaches a spell.
Crits with Fireball, Fire Blast and Pyroblast set the target burning for 80 every 2 sec for 6 sec.
Fire Blast has 50% more crit chance, and its crits make your next Pyroblast instant.
Fire Blast holds 3 charges.
Fireball can be cast while moving, but takes 0.5 sec longer.
Blink also frees you from slows, and you run 50% faster for 3 sec after it.
Blink holds 2 charges, but each costs twice the mana.
Falling below 20% health makes you immune to damage for 2 sec, and heals you for 600 over 6 sec. Once every 2 min.
Ice Barrier absorbs half as much, but burns enemies within 6 m of you for 40 a second while it holds.
While Mana Shield holds, your casts can't be interrupted.
Each of your crits takes 2 sec off Combustion's cooldown.
Polymorph also polymorphs every other enemy within 6 m of the target, for half as long.
Counterspell makes your next Pyroblast instant.
Learn Living Bomb: the target burns for 4 sec, then explodes for 400, and 200 to every other enemy within 8 m.
Learn Greater Invisibility: shake off 2 magic effects, turn invisible for up to 10 sec, and take 60% less damage for 3 sec.
Learn Phoenix Flames: 2 charges of an instant blast of fire for 320 that sets the target burning, as Ignite does.

Recommended Fire Mage build
Recommended builds for this spec are still being tested. To be added.
Spell names, costs, cooldowns and talent text are read from the game client (v0.21, checked 2026-10-30). The developer calls the numbers “first-pass tuning”, so expect them to change.
