Best Race

Shadowmeld can immune incoming projectiles like Mortal Coil and Chaos Bolt, and instant abilities like Blind and Kidney Shot. It also removes you as the target, preventing enemies from interrupting your casts.

Blood Fury is an on-use racial that boosts your spell power. Pair it with Combustion for devastating burst windows. Hardiness grants a passive 10% stun reduction in PvP.

Stat Priority
Haste > Versatility > Mastery: Ignite > Critical Strike

Haste is extremely valuable for Fire Mage, reducing cast times and providing more Fire Blast charges during Combustion windows. Versatility increases your damage and reduces damage taken, essential for PvP survivability. Mastery: Ignite increases your damage over time by giving you more Ignite throughput. During Combustion windows Ignite can tick pretty hard. Critical Strike synergizes well with Fire's Hot Streak mechanic.
