It’s not helping Clark. Trying to spin people up over silly things. It’s also an alpha build and more changes are bound to happen.

Was it really that bad in bfa lately? I havent tried pvping on my mage.
When i did use greater pyro, every single time no matter where i tried to position myself people would swap and focus me. I would only get maybe 2 off before the other team would tackle me.

I don’t PvP. Not an expert. But I did watch a fire mage doing arena’s and basically they just stood there and spammed Greater Pyro/Fireblast and CC’s, only really moving to secure kills with Scorch/Fireblast and normal Pyro procs.
Seemed a bit degenerate.

Should have been deleted but its a start i also agree with others its not gone per say
Yes
It means a fire mage has to actually do damage for the remaining 65% health and not rely on it

long cast time, was easy to interrupt. for melee not a huge problem with their short cd but a spell that can take away so much health shouldnt be spammable
Exactly, interrupt it and now he can’t cast it
Not much more than melee mongos pveing a healer till they die

I agree, but that happens (usually) due to a lack of team support. The amount of times a Frost Nova or Fear or Roots would’ve save me over these years…
Sheep, GPB, RoF, GPB, FB x2, instant PB, dead opponent. Not much room for an interrupt there unless you get some outside help.

Fine with me, as long as fire gets adjusted in other ways to have reasonable damage outside of cooldowns and when we get all our buffs purged-spammed away. The biggest allure of gpyro was that it actually did damage and couldn’t be purged or stolen.
Seriously, anybody who hasn’t played fire doesn’t know how devastating it is to get Combustion, Hot Streak, etc wiped away and/or made moot with CC.
In most BGs I don’t even have to cast anything, just standing within eyeshot of the enemy team with Blazing Barrier up is all it takes for all their melee to jump me and focus me down. On a good day I might actually get off 30% of attempted gpyro’s, if that many.
I’m sure gpyro sucked in 2s arenas, but arenas always have been and always will be the ultimate cheeseball form of PvP in this game – WoW was designed for larger form PvP and despite the efforts of the devs largely still is. There will never be a version of WoW in which arenas aren’t tilted toward one set of specs or another, it’s a simple function of the dinky team sizes.

It’s a good start, but it’s now time to hit rogues and dhs.

Finally someone that knows how it works lol
Assassination, obviously
It does when gp is now a 4.5 second cast and 1 shimmer charge. You’ll never land one.
