What are the FOTM in 7.1.5?

Fire is so average that Danish Terrace took 5 fire mages on their first M Helya kill :^)

probably because helya other than guarm or odyn is indeed like tailored for fire
as she needs burst ae and burst single target on a few occassions which is what fire excels in
good that helya doesnt need high single target dps like guarm/odyn do as that is where fire looses hard
but oh well .. why do i even try to explain how a specc works when you guys are only capabale of:'i have absolutely no clue how fire works but: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOVERPOWEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!!!!!!!'

Well, given quite a few blue posts that are stating that the "modern" WoW is leaning heavily towards burst and AOE, I would say that niche is quite a good one to live in.

And anyway: I know that "the world is ending and mages will forever be the bottom of the meters", but let's be honest: burst was nerfed, sustained was buffed. In the end, it's not as bad as you might think. And if it is: Just wait a couple weeks for 7.1.6 for the buffs.

Shadow looks awful for 7.1.5

Everything about it reeks Blizzard haven't a clue wtf they're doing.

Yeah on a fight with an extreme amount of adds that lets us pad our damage very hard........
It's a fact that fire isn't in a good spot, mongrel

Granted I've pretty much zero traits, but my mark of aluneth hits for around 500k to maybe 750k with some arcane blasts I might get to a 1.5mill burst in pvp. I'm probably doing something wrong since I had no experience at all as arcane but I really want to know how to play it since it might be the new best mage pvp spec in 7.1.5

I'm sticking with Elemental/Restoration Shaman and Havoc/Vengeance Demon Hunter, though I do hope Arcane becomes awesome as Fire/Frost are (imo) lame.

I think frost is awesome for PvE. I like the ice lance stacking etc. I don't really like fire since it only feels awesome during combustion. For pvp I really hate fire since combustion can be stolen and frost just feels a lot better. Arcane feels kind of gimmicky right now, for me at least.

Elemental is still not there yet to be on a fotm list, it was close tho but last ptr patch pulled us down again
I would cast my vote on ret pala, haven't looked around about any info on it since I don't play it and I've already seen some sick ass ret dps so I assume 7.1.5 will just enhance that

I have a feeling you won't like 7.1.5 then.
