Fire Mage Spell Rotation

I'm a total scrub at this game ;x and I'm doing all I can to get better... can I get any help with a good PVE spell rotation for a mage? I want to atleast do a little bit better. I've been reading a lot of forums and stuff but I just can't figure out a good spell rotation. Help!
Also if you could just screenshot your spell set up that'd be kewl too :)
Okay, go with a frost spec or something else entirely for pve. Fire has way to much of an RNG factor.
Fire, it's simple really.

Glyphs: Fireball, Molten armor (use that not mage), and Pyroblast

Addod: CombustionHelper => get it. Helps with keeping living bomb up and tells you the optimal time to pop combustion.

Rotation: 1x scorch => LB => Fireball spam
Keep LB up at all times but don't clip it (refreshing too early) Use hot streak procs, but don't cancel a fireball cast to use it. Only use scorch if your critical mass is about to fall off or you're completely oom (Mana gems > If your in a long fight use it when you get to about 80% mana and you can use it again before your oom most likely).

Pop Flame Orb and mirror image as much as possible during the fight. Pop combustion only when CombustionHelper turns green.

Good luck, and Fire scales with gear a lot.


Thank you! Do you think I should stay fire for DPS? Elitist Jerks suggested fire, but I mean if Frost is easier for nubs then I could change back. But, everyone has been suggesting fire for top dps
The difference between the two, unless you're raiding competitively, is negligible. Play what you think is fun.
Frost is a lot more hectic than fire, but if that suits you then go for it.

I find it amusing that you have the impression that Frost is easier than Fire. I'm not saying Frost is especially hard, but Fire single target equates to fireball spam with LB refresh, and maybe two combusts per fight and Flame Orb whenever it comes up. And then of course, if you happen to get lucky, a HS will proc.

Frost consists of mostly frostbolt spam, but you need to use Pet Freeze, be smart enough to save 1 charge of FoF whenever possible so when BF procs you have a charge to use, Frostfire Orb use without wasting FoF procs, always having Freeze or a FoF charge ready when Deep Freeze comes off CD, etc.

I honestly don't believe Fire is harder to play in single target situations, but quite the contrary.
