Experimental hybrid. MythicSim simulates it with 29 points in Fire and 22 points in Frost, race Gnome, and ranks it among the damage dealers.
A Fire tree completed by Frost
The Fire Mage deals its damage with Fire spells, Ignite and Pyroblast among them. Frostfire keeps those talents and opens the Frost tree on top, notably for Fingers of Frost: the simulator’s rotation checks that effect before several of its Fire spells.
Damage, opener and rotation of Frostfire
Frostfire Bolt (52.5% of the damage), Pyroblast (18.6%) and Ignite (15.6%) weigh the most in the simulation.
Before the fight the character uses Pyroblast (6 s before). The simulator’s priority list starts with Evocation, Scorch, Pyroblast and Fire Blast; the full list, with the condition of each line, is in the Rotation block below.
On the talent side, the build takes Improved Fireball, Ignite, Incineration and Improved Scorch to maximum rank in Fire, then Ice Shards, Elemental Precision, Frost Channeling and Shatter to maximum rank in Frost.

Simulation details
What the simulated character does during the 120 s of the fight, where its 804 DPS without trinkets come from (841 DPS quoted above with the trinket pair), which effects it has and in which order it casts.
Damage breakdown
Each line is an ability: the damage per second it adds, its share of the total, how many times it is cast in a fight, the damage of an average cast and, for a lasting effect, the part of the fight where it is active.

Buffs and debuffs
The percentages are coverage times, meaning the share of the fight during which the effect is active: they are not proc chances. “91.0×” is the average number of applications in a fight.

What the Frostfire simulation does not tell
MythicSim plays one scenario only: a single target, a short fight, the gear described by the credit line. Neither a multi-boss raid nor PvP enters the calculation, and its simulation engine is not the game.

To compare with the official Mage trees, see Mage Arcane, Mage Fire and Mage Frost. Frostfire also appears in the WoW Forever Tier List, and every build of the section is on the hub.
