So you nuked some stuff and at 80 you'll nuke them for even more. Fascinating!

Original Post:

So I've been dinking around with my new mage alt and having a lot of fun with it. I never thought throwing Pyroblasts at things and watching them lose half health before even getting in range to attack would be so much fun.

I'm also going with a Fire-heavy build that can raid but is also focused on letting me have some

-style fun. I settled on this:

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

Enough straight Fire DPS talents to not be useless, combined with PoM and a few other things so I can have some "

I totally just PoM-Pyro-Fireblasted that Rogue for 8k

" moments when I want to dick around.

But then I decided to see what I should do at 80 for comedy. And, uh...

That build I posted, take that point off of Imp. Fireball and slap ten more levels on it.

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

All of a sudden it doesn't look so comedy. This will have a base crit range, without crit rating or buffs, somewhere in the very high teens to low twenties. It also weds Combustion to Arcane Power, and for boss kills allows you to fire off Molten Fury'd Arcane Power'd instant Pyroblasts followed up with several AP'd fireballs.

Now yeah, we're going to have new talents in the expansion, but they'll have to be fairly beastly to match this. I didn't think my comedy build would lead to something that could be a perfectly viable raid spec at 80.
