Fire Mage DPS Amirdrassil Raid Guide — Season 4

Below, you can find class and spec-specific advice for every fight in Amirdrassil. If you are looking for a general overview of the Raid that is not spec-specific, check out our dedicated Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope guides.

On this page, you will find information and guidance for each boss individually in Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope as a Fire Mage. These are not complete encounter guides but provide specific tips for any Fire Mage on each boss.

The boss has two distinct phases, one that is add control and the other that is all about bursting the boss. However, trying to spec into any AoE does not really work for this fight as the adds do not live long enough.

Ensure you have all your cooldowns ready before the boss reaches 100 energy. This means you can do use Combustion and then use your second Combustion in the burn phase.

Pop Mirror Image and Blazing Barrier slightly before the second phase so you do not waste the GCDs during the burn phase itself. If you have Sun King's Blessing available closely before the boss enters its burn phase, hold onto it until the boss is about to starts its burn phase, and then begin hard casting Pyroblast right before the phase begins.

Single target.

Try and have a minor defensive up, such as Blazing Barrier for Blistering Spear.

You can Blink the stun left from soaking Umbral Destruction.

Single target.

Knockback direction from Flood of the Firelands is based on position versus center of soak circle. Aim yourself accordingly, and pop a defensive of some nature. Use Ice Floes right before the knockback happens so you can continue casting during it.

This is pretty much a pure DPS fight where the goal is to do as much damage as possible.

Single Target

If you are targeted by the Javelin, activate Alter Time before you get the damage over time effect and re-activate it when you are low.

Ensure you use a defensive if soaking Barreling Charge. Ice Block with Ice Cold is very strong for this, but Greater Invisibility works well as well.

Single-target/cleave build.

Blazing Coalescence is strong buff for us if you have Mage Fire 10.2 Class Set 2pc, so if you have 2-set, you should grab as many as possible, however if you lack the 2-set, you are generally better off letting other people soak it.

Make sure to have a defensive cooldown active for Raging Inferno. You can use Mass Barrier as well for additional defensiveness for the group.

Single target.

Use a defensive like Blazing Barrier when soaking Surging Growth or crossing the Verdant Matrix. You can Shimmer across any line of the Verdant Matrix without taking any damage.

Likewise, you can Blink over Impending Loom beams.

Single target.

You can use Ice Block combined with Ice Cold and Cryo-Freeze to remove the healing absorb from Cauterizing Wound.

Intermission gives you a 100% damage buff if you soak all five of your orbs and starts just over 1 minute into the fight. This means you can cast Combustion on the pull and hold the next Combustion for a couple of seconds to have it line up properly for the intermission. If you get Sun King's Blessing right before the intermission, you should hold onto it for the intermission, but if you get it more than 10 seconds away from the intermission, you should just use it.

For more information, please refer to our Smolderon guide.

Single Target.

You can use Blazing Barrier combined with Energized Barriers to get rid of Mass Entanglement.

Make sure to have Combustion available for the intermission phases. This will mean that you end up sitting on Combustion for short periods of time sometimes, but due the damage buff from Dream Essence and the DPS race to break Supernova, it is worth the uptime loss. Generally, there is no point to hold on to Sun King's Blessing procs for the intermission as you are likely to lose it while flying over to the intermission, unless you get the proc right before the intermission.

Single Target.

If you are targeted by Firestorm, you can activate Alter Time before running out to drop off the meteor, and then Alter Time back into proper position. On heroic, the same can be done for Blaze. (which is active in all phases)

Ensure you have some stacks of Alexstrasza's Fury ready for when the adds spawn so you can quickly do a lot of damage to them. Otherwise, this phase is pretty much just a "dodge the fire" phase.

This phase is very much a "dodge the fire" phase. We do not have specific Fire tips for this phase, however, ensure you use your stacks of Ice Floes wisely to ensure you never have to interrupt a Pyroblast hard-cast as that is a very large DPS loss.
