The mage trees are a mess. This was a stupid mechanic and they were right to remove it. They need to make other changes in the tree to compensate.

No one should care what streamers think, man.

“Just use rank 2”

Yeah but who gives a fuck what Xaryu thinks tbh 😂

Beautiful changes. Mages needed to be humbled for once.

Xaryu is overreacting. He can still downrank. He just can't exploit it.

Yeah ice mage is way to broken. Should get more nerfs

It's like they don't know that rank 1 is 1.5s(1s imp) cast time vs 3s(2.5s imp) at max rank So the amount of proc that can be fished for is also 2.5 time less, and we can't kite anymore because we have to stay in place an extra 1.5s each cast. +mana It's a triple nerf...

They need to stop fucking with the classes dude

I understand the frustration but that’s a dumb ass mechanic. It should be designed differently not to rely on rank 1 spam.

Using rank 1 spells more than the high ones is silly game design. But Blizz should absolutely compensate for removing it and then it becomes a win/win, bad design gone and compensated.

Down ranking should be gone forever. Stuff like this holds back future buffs. It’s the same with “power shifting” with Druids and the old seal twisting with Paladins. I’ve never cared for having three different ranks of one spell bound. I’m glad the change is in.

The most powerful class in the game getting a few nerfs is expected, no?

Mages are broken and OP always have been this was a much needed nerf

Okay then, make level 1 frost bolt cast time same as other ranks, and add back in frostbite to it. But they want their cake and to eat it too.

0 fucks given what he thinks, he just wants his easy half second cast spam ability so he can abuse the talent. Fuck xaryu

Go up a rank?

Always good to see some mage tears xD

He’s right

good, imo mage should not get ice lance in classic +

Lol, I want fixes for classes but keep it 2004... Blizz changes frost mage to not be so fucking conceptually retarded. NOT LIKE THAT!

Game already dead

very good, no one cares

Weh weh my class got nerfed. The class that has been good for 20 years. Anyway......

Frost Mages needed some change, prior to this they could reset endlessly via polymorph and get back to full health and full mana until they blow through the opponent’s cooldowns and win the duel. That doesn’t sound very fair to me. At least now there’s a chance they’ll go oom and not get to reset.

With changes like these it's DOA.

Give mages healing back or revert this

Who is this little gaylord anyway

Lol it really is no surprise why modern wow is the way it is.

In shadowlands they gave us an insta slow just give us that

It’s stupid gameplay. I love it!

minmaxing shit
