Hello to all Mages!

Let's hear it for the new "Burnout" Talent!
I am glad Blizzard finally gave Fire Mages a "Ruin / Ice Shards" type of talent. 50% crit damaga is jsut fine even tho we do not receive the 100% that warlocks (and now Shadow Priests...) receive.

However.. the Increased mana cost of Critical strikes by 5% is a little "meh"
We as Mages must complain our hearts out untill Blizzard changes it! "Mages have mana gems and evocation.." Warlocks have Life tap GG.

/complain remove 5% mana drain from Burnout! :D

The increased damage will be well worth the 5 percent mana. However it makes little sense to give you a penalty for a talent in my opinion.

Rank 14 Fireball costs like 448 mana with talents.

5% x 448 = 22

22 mana is burned on a fireball crit.

That's not that horrible.

You not helping Javadocs!

STILL for being 45-50 point talents why penalize us at all? "Ruin" (100%) is like 21 talents if i remember correctly i dont reall feel like going and checking it out..

*flashbacks of damage tax*

Yeah... Yeah they'll remove it..... find a happy place.... HAPPY PLACE

what you are forgetting, divinehand, is ignite. ignite is our ruin and ice shards. in fact, it is better. it gave us 210% crit bonus. burn out on top of that is just icing on the cake

burn out + ignite = 245% damage on crits.

Q u o t e:
Yeah man fire mages have totally been needing something that added bonus damage to crits for a long time.

lol. I don't like it either, but it's not Fire's problem at the moment. Hot Streak's Pyro is the problem. You use too much mana using 500 mana insta Pyros every 10-15 seconds.

Clearly overpowered. One fireball crit will kill someone in PvP.

Devinehand, welcome to my extensive ignore list.

IMO burnout should make it so the crits require 5% LESS mana or even more than 5%. It would help while pvping as fire.

Firstly, ignite gives fire crits a 40% damage increase, just over time. And while I like the idea of giving fire even more crit power (up to 90% it seems, including Ignite?) they did just fine with only ignite, since they could crit so fast, so often. So, having a mage, I like how OP it is, but I also acknowledge that it is OP.
