    But , your fire mage is 512 ilvl and he's last.
    Do you find it normal ? I mean 145k dps with a +50% dps buff at 511 ilvl is indee not good , mainly due to the fact that fire got overnerfed. It was already bad in 5.1 , and now its even worse.
    And the worst thing about it , is that fire is apparently the best mage spec with frost atm , and it's still at the very bottom.

    145k with 512 ilvl is TERRIBLE on that fight... I did 170k with 505 ilvl (higher now) and I made like 5 mistakes. So can't really take that mage as an example of how mages are. But OT: Mages are really low atm indeed.

    Obviously mage players being mage players they will moan like fuck when they get nerfed due to scaling issues but that is a later problem.

    Let some time pass if mages got overnerfed in PvE they will be buffed, it is the pet class of designers
    I don't care if I'm competitive with 535 item level. Only thing that matters to me is being competitive during PROGRESS which only lasts like a month or two, and you won't be high enough item level to be competitive yet then.

    I can get blizzard wants to balance dps when you're at the average ilvl 535+, but getting there is the issue...

    Just finished 12/12 Normal yesterday.

    There's nothing quite like getting 95th-100th percentiles on epeenbot while floating at the middle / bottom of the pack in your raid group. It's almost surreal how even with the most amazing rng I felt like I couldn't push to the top of the meters. Also it feels like our mage bomb is so weak that it's really only useful for the 15 seconds of pyromaniac. In most cases multi-dotting was actually a dps loss for me. Mage 5 target cleave seems very weak, I feel like a big part of that is due to the lack of bomb spread. Living bomb is virtually worthless for fire now. There's a serious problem right now and it's about more than just our crit chance.

    I know that with more gear I will do more damage (duh) but this is a bigger problem than just scaling. Those saying we should just hold out until we are full bis are missing the point. It's our dps now that matters now, and if in the future things get out of hand then that's something that should be promptly addressed in the future.

    - Someone has to fill that lower quarter, at least mages got to dominate for quite a while?
    I am no in outtaded gear and still others classes doing hell of more dmg than me and i am biss 5.1 mage with 516 item lvl. You guys really think gear will fix our dmg problem ? You think thaht other clases doesnt scale too or what ? Yes we might scaled with geat to point where other dmgers are right now. Like this 100k now ---> 140k with biss gear and others 140k now ----> 180k after biss no gear will not fix this problem at all.

    Top Fire parses SHOULD ALWAYS BE #1 or #2 because of amazing RNG. The fact that Top Fire is MIDDLE is pathetic.

    Also, Arcane should be #1 on any standstill fight due to how a "turret" should work. Kinda stupid methinks.

    Locks: Healthstones, Gateways, way better utility, and multi-dotting. Oh and a Battle Rez.
    Hunters: Wild Card on buffs, way better AoE/Cleave and multi-dotting.
    Rogues: Smoke Bomb, way better AoE/Cleave.

    See the theme here? We bring literally nothing but good ST DPS. Fire brings okay cleave on bunched up targets, but only on 3-4 of them.
    Still wondering why I play this game.
    I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.

    Logs show that their damage is pretty low.

    No, I've done 11/12 bosses on live now and my damage has fine for most fights in my opinion. I think since people are not absolutely shitting on everyone else on meters like we have before in this expansion that we are broken or underpowered or something. If anything I'd say we're at the very least middle of the pack and on some fights we can still top meters.

    No, you're wrong. You're only feeling that your damage is fine because the rest of your group isn't giving you any competition. Mage damage is too low and that's an undeniable fact that you can verify yourself by checking logs. Now, it's not so low that it's the end of the world, but it is lower than it should.

    Although Frost is doing better than the other two specs, but it could use another little buff. Maybe a 2-3% buff overall. Maybe even 5%.

    I can guarantee you its not because I don't have competition. I have a feeling that most of the people complaining are trying to play fire without enough gear. Fire is going to be dogshit with anything less than like 510 ilevel so maybe that's why logs seem so bad. Once you actually have gear fire is completely fine in my opinion.

    A good majority of the people with 12/12(or close to that) Normal have an ilvl above 500(heck, my alt without anywhere near full T14 heroic progression is at 500 ilvl, and I haven't valor capped him after the first two weeks of MoP) so that point is moot. Also, logs show Arcane AND Fire doing pretty badly, with Frost doing better, but not great. So, again, moot.

    Welcome to mmochamp! Glad to see another cutting edge mage join our ranks.

    Few things:

    Keep in mind that the ptr testing we did was before the pyroblast nerf. Gearing will help, sure, but we still have a long ways to go.

    Middle of the pack is where blizzard wants dps to be tuned to. I'm fine with middle of the pack as long as I have some other niche other than damage (ie: combat res, defensive raid cooldown, offensive raid cooldown, movement speed raid cooldown, good aoe, or any of the other raid utility other classes have). We currently don't provide something that is already pretty much a given in a 25man setting (crit/sp buff, lust, food). Aside from damage we have no identity as a class, which I feel is the bigger problem. Because of this middle of the pack wont do, especially since most of the time it would probably be better for our raids if we were just warlocks instead. I'm not saying we should always be #1 but until we find some other use in raids other than middle of the pack damage we kind of fall short of other classes.

    I can quarantee that nobody here is going to agree with you unless you post even a bit of evidence. Now ofc you might get incredibly lucky and crit every fireball, but the opposite atm is much more likely. And throwing the magical 510 itemlevel around aint going to help your case. Sure mages do get incredible in the end, but thats due us getting stupid ammounts of crit.. but thats not going to happen at 510, hell not even 515 unless those upgrades you get are said crit items..

    Ya fire isn't going to be good without stupid amounts of crit. I don't know if i just got lucky or something with upgrade but right now I'm sitting at 516 with a pretty hefty amount of crit (13834 rating). I think at crit levels like mine fire is performing just fine relative to other classes.

    I can't link my armory because I don't have enough posts, but my mage is Folius on Zul'jin.

    yes 13800 is certainly something I would consider good, My mage has 10300(515 ilevel) atm so only the crit rating gives you allmost 6% more crit which turns into around 7.5% more crit on fireball, which is goddamn huge

    It is a telling sign when ppl rank in the top 50 or lower out of all ppl of their spec for dmg or healing but cant beat the other specs in their own raid.
