Fire Mage Leveling Guide from 1 to 70 — The War Within Pre-Patch
On this page, you will find our Level by Level Fire Mage leveling guide for The War Within. Make sure to use the slider to make the guide adapt to your level. For more general leveling information, please refer to our Mage leveling guide.
Gear Options
When leveling up, you should always choose the piece of loot with the highest item level. The only exception to this rule is if you have a Ring or Necklace with a slightly lower item level, but 2 secondary stats on it instead of 1.
Level by Level Rotation and Talents
Move the slider below to make the guide update to your level!
Talents to Level Up as a Fire Mage
Below, you can see the suggested levelling talent build and the order in which to pick the talents while levelling.
The below build is focused mostly on solo questing and outdoor content.
Rotation to Level Up as a Fire Mage
Starting at Level 1, you only have one main attack
ability: Frostbolt.
- Make sure you keep
Arcane Intellect up at all times. Keep in mind, if you die, you have to re-cast it. Otherwise just cast it once per hour.
- Cast
Time Warp when you are about to go into a big pull or boss fight. Keep in mind, you can only gain the benefit once every 10 minutes, even though the cooldown is 5 minutes.
- Use
Fire Blast on cooldown.
- Cast
Arcane Explosion when there are 3 or more targets.
- Cast
Combustion when it is ready and you have at least a couple of charges of
Fire Blast and
Phoenix Flames.
- Cast
Pyroblast when you have
Hot Streak.
- Cast
Fire Blast when you have
Heating Up to get
Hot Streak.
- Cast
Phoenix Flames to generate
Heating Up if you do not have
Hot Streak.
- Cast
Scorch when the enemy target is below 30% health.
- Cast
Fireball as your filler.
Fire Mage War Mode Talents for Leveling
In this section we will rank the PvP talents best for leveling and doing solo / small group PvE content.
Glass Cannon gives you a significant damage buff. The reduced health is usually not a problem in open-world content.
Ring of Fire puts up a relatively large circle that burns enemies who walk into the outer part of the circle, doing significant damage.
Greater Pyroblast is a very hard-hitting spell, especially on high-health enemies, and it will greatly increase your damage against high-health enemies, like world bosses or rares.
Congratulations!
Congratulations on reaching Level 70! Now that you have hit Level 70, we recommend looking at our Easy mode page and Talents section to learn how to play at max level.
