Best Gems, Enchants, Food, and Flasks for Fire Mage in Midnight
This section covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Fire Mage, please visit our dedicated Stats page.
Best Gems for Fire Mage
We highly recommend using Raidbots to sim your character's ideal gems and enchants, as they might differ from our general recommendations.
There are both Epic and Rare gems, with Epic gems being significantly more powerful. However, you can only equip a single Epic gem, so you will have to fill out the rest of your slots with Rare Gems.
Gems can be applied to a Helm, Bracer, or Belt via the
Radiant Jewelbinder item from the Great Vault, alongside
items that drop with a socket, namely Neck and Rings.
Indecipherable Eversong Diamond is the best Epic Gem to use.
For Rare gems, generally
Flawless Masterful Peridot will be the best
gem. The exact best gem can differ, but the difference is
usually very small. For the most accurate results, I recommend simming gems,
but this can take a long time because of how small the differences are.
Best Enchants for Fire Mage
Not all Enchants provide damage, like Helm, Shoulders and Feet. You can
choose between Speed, Avoidance or Leech for these slots. Fire already has good
mobility, but more speed never hurts, especially as it allows you
to move further during the instant-cast
Pyroblasts or
Scorch casts, allowing you to save mobility spells for when you
really need them. However, Avoidance Enchants are also a great option for
these slots to simply reduce the damage you take from various enemy
abilities. I generally do not recommend the Leech enchants for group content,
but it can be quite nice for solo content.
| Slot | Enchantment |
|---|---|
| Helm (non damage) | |
| Chest | |
| Shoulders (non damage) | |
| Legs | |
| Ring | |
| Feet (non damage) | |
| Weapon |
Best Consumables for Fire Mage
Flasks
For Season 1, you should use
Flask of Thalassian Resistance.
It is the best option because it provides more secondary stats
than other Flasks.
Potions
Light's Potential is the best DPS potion for all content.
Silvermoon Health Potion is our healing potion of choice.
Food
Any of the highest rank feasts are optimal, like
Quel'dorei Medley or
Blooming Feast. But master tier personal
food like
Champion's Bento can be used just as well if your
group does not use feasts.
Note: if you are doing content where you will die a lot, like
progressing a raid boss, you can use Hearty variants of
food, which last through death but are more expensive, like
Hearty Quel'dorei Medley (feast) or
Hearty Champion's Bento
(personal).
Additionally, you can use a Tea for a movement speed increase, like
Argentleaf Tea. This buff can be used alongside the normal food buffs.
Weapon Buff
You should be using
Thalassian Phoenix Oil.
Augment Rune
Augment Runes are often quite expensive, especially early on,
but do provide roughly a 1% DPS increase when used so can make
the difference when doing hard content.
Void-Touched Augment Rune
is the only available Augment Rune currently.
