At this point can we get some sort of update on whether this talent is ever going to be fixed to consistently work for Arcane instead of going entire games with the secondary effect immediately breaking upon using Blink/Shimmer.
We had our mobility and spec exclusive tools nerfed early in to this season to compensate for the addition of this talent and the bug that let you cast while in the Invis effect patched within a few days however the talent has simply just not worked at all against some match ups for reasons unknown.
Please give us an update on the state of fixing this talent or get rid of it and undo some of the mobility nerfs you did to Arcane or design something new; I’ve almost completely stopped playing my Mage altogether because of how infuriating this talent is (and no, this has nothing to do with how strong Mage is or anything like that, I just don’t find the class fun enough to put up with my major defensive answer being bugged the way it currently is).
Unlikely this will get fixed in the near future tbh.
Several pvp specific talents have been bugged / broken for quite a while at this point. Bane of Havoc + Mayhem, Rallying Cry, OP Barrier, the list goes on. They’ve not indicated they are interested in fixing any of them.
Very few people are impacted by this bug existing, and sometimes it does work, so really you’re chasing a fix for an issue that is intermittent
Most bugged stuff that solely impacts the pvp playerbase is extremely unlikely to get attention compared to the massive amount of issues plaguing the rest of the game.
Brotha, I want you to think about the total number of people that play this game, and then I want you to think about how many PvP. What would you say that percentage is?
Okay, then I want you to think about how many people play Arcane mage and used that talent in general.
When we are talking about the game as a whole, because that is where bugs exist, the whole game, the number of people impacted by this bug is
I am explaining to you that bugs get resolved, typically, on a scope & impact scale. What is the scope of the bug? What is the impact? How hard is it to fix after triage and investigating it?
Scope and impact of mages intermittently not getting the benefit of ONE honor talent is not that big, at all. Especially when they continue to dominate in Pvp.
Not really, but they basically gave every single Arcane exclusive ability to the whole class over the years that we no longer have anything unique apart from the other two specs outside of Kleptomania/cheap Spellsteal and a completely useless Arcanosphere if this talent were to be removed.
The spec is defensively dull when that used to be the strong point of it years ago.
What if arcane got a flaming polymorph pvp talent, that makes poly a fire spell (maybe add a flame effect to the poly target - could be funny). That would at least solve the problem of being basically useless if you get kicked on arcane
Avoiding getting kicked on Arcane shouldn’t ever be removed from the spec.
I’d like to be able to take Mass Invis again without giving up both Mass Barrier and a PvP talent slot. They never should have made it class wide or PvE.
Someone at blizzard clearly thought it was a cool talent and to an extend I agree. Maybe we havent hit the sweet spot tunning wise for it.
Just like back in SL triune ward sounded AMAZING and such a leap for mage and it ended up making them the tankiest class in the game only on par with dstance warrior. Tunning has always been an issue between cool ideas and how they were actually implemented
You’ve spent all your replies arguing a point you made up in your head vs the one I made. Wild to think you’re the person to deliver that type of remark to anyone.
