Introduction to the Fire Mage

The Fire specialisation is brilliant at delivering both burst and sustained damage on a variety of fight types. Fire cleaves efficiently on stacked targets. Fire really shines on fights where a multitude of stacked targets all have equal or high priority.

Like all Mage specialisations, Fire has high mobility and is fantastic at doing encounter specific jobs and baiting mechanics. Overall, Fire is performing very well in a lot of situations, which makes it a great choice to play in all content.
