You can tell, as a mage i'm soooo looking forward to 3.2

moar mage nerf?

I've been looking forward to a faction/race change for a while, it's funny its coming up now. As Nau was saying in the other thread, the changes coming up seem to be with the express intent of reeling in more cash. But, with that said, the changes they're making to an engineering are fairly decent and they don't 'need' to do that but they are anyway.

We'll see when it actually releases, but I wouldn't necessarily expect any sweeping changes to any more classes until WoW reaches the end of its life span. Or else you're just getting your hopes up

Im actually looking forward to 4.0, when they introduce a new class, and stop messing around with the DK class, and finally have a new classs where every PVPer QQs about. I dont trust EJ for DKs anymore, haha, not accurate.

Btw bro, I thought 3.2, Mage gets a buff, albeit small one.

I don't see much wrong about the mage class, the ONLY main thing I hate was the fact that Mana Gem and healthstone share same CD, other than that, which they have at least acknowledge that as something they are looking into . Which is funny though, because now my health pots are on my mage more than my other classes .

Also, I hope the invisibility spell would be like before, where it is close to the rogue's vanish, and can actually get u out of combat. hehehe.

Gimme Far Seer as next hero class!

Ooooh, wait let me think ........we get 1% extra mana back on crit, thats like, so uber

On more melee inclined fights, why we we so heavily taxed? while SP and locks are unaffected?

Why do we still have 3 sec casts?
- inst it bad enough that our main nuke has travel time, as well as a 3 sec cast?

Why is scorch so useful as a raid debuff? which takes 6 secs too stack w/o glyph...

Why is evocation such a "come and hit me i am defenseless and cant move" spell? and the CD on it? pffft

Why even bother to AOE, with mind sear and FoK!!

This is just PVE (there are a few more, but this is what comes to mind atm).

In PVP, ret pallies 2 shot us ............... DK's do thier click and pull and place a guzillion dotz on you, then whack your dead ........locks dot you up and fear you into submission ........rogues have thier stun, stun, stun, dead moves, if that fails and you get them to 5% they use thier "i win button" (CoS)

Its no wonder the number of mages is declining.

-pat Zouke-

You know, I agree with you on a lot of the points. Especially the 3 sec cast thing. & the travel time for the spell. I mean like WTF?!

But personally, it's about sticking by that class, no matter what the nerfs are, because it's about the gameplay. (I'm sticking by my pally & my mage. & yes, I get damn annoyed when I get pwned on my mage in PVP, but it's not how many times I die, it's how many people I KILL! Muahahaha!)

Hang in there Zouke! I'm cheering for you!

No more DW Devastate spam...

Devastate: Weapon damage and bonus per Sunder Armor on the target increased by 100%.

"The other part of the change that I suppose hasn't been data-mined is that Devastate requires a shield. We hope there is very little interest in an Arms or Fury warrior doing dps with a shield equipped, while we're thrilled if Prot warriors dps with a shield.

But, we'll see what crazy builds clever players come up with. " -GC

You know, back in TBC, with the right group composition in a 10 man, I could outdps people in t5 gear with DW devastate.

The problem with devastate with a shield "dpsing" is you can't generate enough rage to maintain a solid rotation without taking damage even in DPS gear, and if you're taking damage you're tanking. I suppose you could intervene the real tank and risk taking a hit every so often, though if you're wearing DPS gear, that never ends well (I remember intervening the tank on Prince back in Kara, ouch).

But we'll see, especially since they nerfed our mini-shield dps trinket 100% devastate damage means a slower weapon might be utilised better, time to steal them from our rogues!

anyone know if we're going to get a full talent refund at the next patch... I could really do with losing lightwell

Only for certain classes, from what I've seen. Death Knights are getting a full free respec, you'll have to refer to individual class notes to see if you get the privelage.

Based on the latest PTR patch notes, only DKs are getting a free respec to help all the nerfs go down more easily.

YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE TO RESPEC GIVEN THAT YOU'RE GETTING... AXES?
