Cancelaura T13 2pc buff and wait for ignite to expire after 25 stacked.
Scorch every GCD and TW -> combustion -> block when you are about to die.

Nice.
Will have to give this a try before Blizzard ruins it.![]()
Nice may I ask why scorch insead of fireball? to stop ignite munching or something?
wow, that's ridiculous, any chance a better quality video is incoming? was hard to see a lot of the stuff. big gratz btw.

For those that haven't watched it yet the actual fight starts at about 3:00.
confused as to why the caster adds aren't fieroblasting him to death.
Come back next week for Madness of Deathwing Duo'd
You know your peanuts are spicy when your ear drums are sweating. There enjoy the not at all profound knowledge imparted to you through this signature.
so... you can cast while flying for starters so fireball>scorch and you can use mirror images to tank the birds on ground phase for a tiny bit of extra time.
Maybe something about the +75% crit when you have enough stacks.
Either way this is an amazing video.
Please don't post memes.

You use scorch to continuously roll ignite since you have 100% crit, the cast time is under 1 second, and it has no travel time. It is the same thing people were doing with Pyroblast during burnout. Unfortunately you need to have absurdly low ms to be able to pull this off, and very few mages on US servers will be able to do this.
Edit: Also you would have better luck weaving in pyroblasts every other cast. Your ignite will build much faster if you go scorch -> pyroblast -> scorch -> pyroblast -> scorch -> etc.

This only works because the dumb casters aren't shooting him. It's been the case that everyone downstairs dies, they start shooting me, but when I block, cancel and resuming my flying business, they lose all interest in me. Even if I'm the only guy still alive. I didn't see him Ice Block but I also don't see him getting shot at, so I think it's a mild (if perhaps unintended) exploit. The Fieroblasts have unlimited range for a reason, so hopefully Blizzard will fix this.
thing is, when I actually tried that on my mage, boss simply despawned after going down for 2nd wave of feathers so I gave up on solo'ing and instead 4-man it with 3 people downstairs and me flying.
Also scorching, omg at the ignite numbers in the end, clearly gonna retry to see if boss gonna despawn again or not. With my gear i'm not sure if boss even gonna live till tornadoes ...
yeaaa...
I tried quite a few times but I couldn't get ignite to stack much past 100k before it flattened out. I let ignite fall off first, of course, then spammed scorch until my finger fell off.
ms is always ~80 in case anyone wants to know.
PS - She despawned on me a few times as well. She seemed to do it only when I was really far away from her. It happened a few times when I was falling behind and she took a dive to cleave while I was still getting the last ring in the air. I'm almost certain distance matters, though I don't know why.
Depending on todays loots from DS I'm probably gonna try this tomorrow evening. Could aswell get the achievement ( Do A Barrel Roll! ) for a friend of mine.
on a sidenote, can i assume that the mage is reforged/enchanted into complete mastery after the hitcap and 1505 haste threshold?
on a second sidenote, does somebody have the armory of the mage that did this?

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt
This mage has very good gear including DTR (400+ ilvl thats for sure) - you can see it just from his MSBT dmg output reports.

Armory Link
He would have 1~2 lower avg. ilvl when he did that.
