Fire mage critique

[EscapersIV]

Hi guys, I just started a fire mage not long ago, so I went en norm with my guild, but I think I'm doing pretty shitty but no idea why so I decided to consult the better players out there so I can improve on it.

Here are my logs

I'm caster!

Thanks for your time!

get more crit. 10k or more and the spec starts feeling great (55% or more)

Before you begin running in a raid, turn your combat log on by typing /wowcombatlog

This will write your logs to the log folder within your World of Warcraft directory.

Then you'll need to create an account with either worldoflogs.com or warcraftlogs.com, and download their uploader. This will allow you to connect and select the log parse file from your directory and upload it. Bear in mind, if you close or log out of wow, the log will disable and you'll need to reenable it with the command. You can run the same command to turn logging off.

I would recommend using WarcraftLogs as they have a much better user interface for reporting the data. At least in my opinion.

Any pros out there can help?! Hahaha

Not a pro in analysing this stuff, but compared to the other Mage you casted 9 less pyroblasts during your combustion despite you both using it 5 times (on xavius). You even used a fireball during it, which you should generally never do. If you run out of Phoenix flames/flameblasts scorch is the way to go. Also 2 less rop usages

Look up "out of line" go to the 27th and check my graphs on our heroic kills. You'll notice that my spikes are around 750-800k. All of your spikes are around ~300k, that's your issue.

Please tell me in what way you thought this post was useful.

Obviously your combustion windows are not going correctly.

Noob question but what do you mean by combustion windows not going correctly?

[Djautoplay]

Fire made dps is basically based around 10s windows of crazy burst with runs of power+combustion. we're all about burst windows. So using each combustion to the fullest is important. just do the basic fire make opener right on each boss pull and do the same rotation each time combustion is up. Never use phoenix flames or flame on outside of combustion windows.
