Fire Mage DPS Simulations — Midnight Season 1
On this page, you will find a number of useful simulation results for your Fire Mages in World of Warcraft — Midnight Season 1.
New Patch Warning
Early on in any new patch, especially big patches like a new Expansion, there might be some limitations on simming, or changes happening frequently. While Mage is lucky to have a very active theorycrafting and simcraft community which generally update simulations very quickly, the first few weeks of any new patch tend to be turbulent with many APL optimizations, bugfixes, and more, happening consistently.
If you want live updates on simcraft/raidbots work for Mages, you can check out of the #Research channel on the Altered Time discord.
How to sim your Fire Mage
With the advent of certain tools such as Raidbots, simulating your character has now become simple enough that we can recommend even the average player to do so. It is through advanced simulations that many of the recommendations in this guide are found, and by doing your own you can easily figure out what talents you should be using with your particular gearing combination, what gear to equip, what Legendaries to equip and more. Below there is a video guiding you on how to sim your character.
