    Fire Mage Artifact Relics

    Hey, arrived to legion a little late so I just finished my third relic slot for the weapon. Now I've been using Mr Robot for checking some gear upgrades etc and I'm not sure I trust their relic slot simulator so I just wanted to ask what other people are doing.

    For me personally:
    1. Pyro Damage
    2. Fire Ball Cast Time
    3. Ignite Damage
    4. Crit Damage
    5. Rest

    Anyway the question I wanted to ask is how much do I prioritize item level increase of the weapon compared to the traits of the relics.

    For example would a ravencrest's wrath (+40 ilvl and Molten armor trait) be better than lets say a Gift of the Flame (37 ilvl and 1% Crit Damage)?

    For me fire ball cast is 4. cause it does nothing for our burst. So it's value is worse the shorter the fight is.

    I'm basing everything on raids, since thats the content I will be doing.

    Fireball cast time is a great relic, our burst will be good no matter what the 3 relics are, you still cast fireball many times even in heroic dungeons.

    depends man. in legion we get back the int as first stat. So try too use Top ilvl relics too get more ilvl on ur artifact weapon. More int more dmg.
    however the pyro one is deadly nice. and Fireblast dmg is good 2 will help u too do more burst dmg.
    anyway we should use Raid relics not this dung ones

    I've personally been preferring using 2 pyro dmg increase + 1 ignite dmg increase..

    I'm playing Pyro Dmg > Cast Time=Ignite Dmg at the moment and it's doing fine.

    My thinking is that those relics are already close enough, and ignite and crit damage are better on short on demand burst. Also ignite is just better on cleave I would think. Also the better the gear, the less fireball casts, and those sims on altered time are with 840 gear. Right now I am running with crit 850 pyro 850 and 845 ignite. That said, if I got 850 cast, I'd still put that in, instead of ignite.

    Sorry to necro an old thread, but given all the changes since the original post, curious about:

    880 fireball cast time vs 870 pyroblast damage.

    3 item level difference and I do have the bracers and WotD.

    My first instinct is pyro damage is better, considering it'd be my only pyro damage relic.

    I run 3x pyro since i have bracers and belt so pyro dmg>>>>>>>>>all others
