Why it works

This is a deep Fire raid build with 3/3 Elemental Precision, so your Fire spells need only 10% spell hit from gear to reach the boss cap. Fire supplies the core damage package: Improved Fireball, Ignite, Improved Scorch, Master of Elements, Critical Mass, Fire Power, and Combustion. The Arcane points are there for Clearcasting, better Arcane Explosion in dungeons, a little casting regen, and Arcane Subtlety utility.

The gear set is chosen to land exactly 10% spell hit from items while pushing crit and spell damage hard: Frostfire Circlet, Cloak of the Necropolis, Frostfire Robe, Dark Storm Gauntlets, Ring of the Fallen God, Band of the Inevitable, Neltharion’s Tear, Wraith Blade, and Sapphiron’s Left Eye provide the hit. The remaining slots favor high-impact crit/damage pieces such as Gem of Trapped Innocents, Rime Covered Mantle, Eyestalk Waist Cord, Leggings of Polarity, Frostfire Sandals, The Restrained Essence of Sapphiron, and Doomfinger.

On bosses, keep Mage Armor and Arcane Intellect up, open by applying Improved Scorch if the Fire vulnerability is missing, then cast Fireball as your main nuke. Use Combustion when you are stable on mana and can stand still for a full burn window; pair it with The Restrained Essence of Sapphiron when possible. Fire Blast is mainly for movement or finishing casts without losing uptime. In dungeons, use Flamestrike on 3+ targets, then Arcane Explosion when enemies are stacked and safe to stand near.
