Greetings,
I was looking into the class list and there i couldn't find anything relating to fire mages.
Maybe im getting it wrong but with combining your primary and secondary, you get one of 8 subclasses to your primary class.
Will there be a way to actually have a mage with mostly fire set of spells like there is in WoW?
Because on the list of subclasses,there is nothing that sounds remotely to "fire" mage.
Sorry for bad english.

Imo a mage should have access to a variety of spells from all types. The whole idea being to figure out and use the specific element the mob is weakest against. Some would be obvious like a fire boss being weak against frost or a water boss being weak against lighting but a humanoid mob could have resistance in their gear for a specific element and it would be up to the mage to figure this out on their own.

Mage players will have acces to variety of elements (fire, water,..) and players will receive skill points as they level. These skill points can be used to level up skills within their skill tree skills (like for example on pic below). It will not be possible to max all skills in a skill tree.
In WoW the mage is split into Fire, Frost and Arcane, as you know.
Here it will be just mage, and then 8 subclasses to alter your primary. I imagine all 8 of the mage alterations will have frost, electric, fire, arcane and all sorts of goodies.
If you want to be a fire themed mage, I am sure there will be cosmetics so that you can look all awesome and red and you can limit yourself to firey spells and modifiers.
.. But there won't be a class of mage that is limited to only fire. That will have to be your own personal choice as a player, if you want to limit yourself to only fire themed things.
Still, sounds like a cool idea. I totally wouldn't mind a pyromaniac mage, that refuses to use anything but fire spells, in my group.
the simplest answer is that you just go mage-mage and pick all the fire-based skills
however if you go any other class you CAN take mage as your subclass and augment your skills to FIRE
e.g a fighter with fire may have a big greatsword swing that when augmented to FIRE is leaves a big burning AOE on the floor
