At the moment fire mage has no weakness, it is simply a top performer at everything
Fire mage doesn;t just "play well" (translation, it's piss easy to play) it rewards it's simplicity massively, whereas others classes are harder work to get right and even then don;t reward so much
And the sad thing is I suspect it's all going to go live.
