Not 30, not 40…not 50!
90 casts.
Nobody is going to use Cold Front at all and Freezing Winds is basically dead now too.

90 is excessive. Sounds like an oversight to me. I understand it may have been way too powerful in PvP though - having 8 frostbolts/flurries and then a frozen orb dropped on you would have been annoying as hell to fight against.
I’d settle for 20-25 for PvP, so that is what - 40 to 50 in PvE? Seems fair.
Funny enough, on Altered Time the nerfed legendaries are basically in line with the rest of the spec specific legendaries. So maybe that ridiculous number might actually make sense, at least from a numbers perspective.
Do you have a link? Curious
I don’t think it will stay at 90 casts. Blizz even said that the legendary nerfs were way too excessive. I think it will probably be anywhere between 25-30 casts.
As for Freezing Winds, it’s hard to tell if they will cut back on the nerf there. Maybe 1-1.5 sec CDR is reasonable, but imo FW didn’t really need a nerf to begin with.
The research tab in the Altered Time discord has new sims posted today considering the legendary nerfs.
I remember reading that a nerf to Cold Front was likely but this seems excessive.
Cold Front was also listed as one of the main reasons Frost was an A tier spec in the new raid.
Guess I’ll go arcane now … though they nerfed Arcane Harmony too lol.
Anyone else think the mage legendaries don’t feel very legendary now? Great job Bliz. Just when i thought you were getting your sh*t together …

I couldn’t believe it went from 15 to 90. so basically once per raid boss (maybe).
Blizz please switch it to 20-30. I was looking forward to this legendary in SL.
I don’t understand why they straight up removed the orb CD reduction portion.
Just wait till the next build for now. I saw the changes and decided not to hop on until they either hotfix them or the next build. They basically memed leggos this week.
That has to be a mistake? From 15 to 90??
Did Khadgar pick these numbers? 89 would be too few and 91 is just absurd. 90 it is.

Freezing rain changing from 2.5seconds to 3seconds for fnf procs is not bad, at least I am not losing procs now with the lack of haste I have. The removal of the cdr hurts the most at least when your not able to blizzard. I barely noticed the change when blizzarding. Adding back 1 second cdr seems to like a good change at 2.5 seemed a bit too much.
Cold front is just unplayable at 90 casts, target dummy testing without doing any proper rotation just seeing how fast it takes to proc took me around 2 minutes. 30-40 casts seems like a good number if you could make it to proc 1 extra FO per minute.
Just seems overall the legengaries are lackluster and not very unique or fun. Before they really added value and a fun factor. Unless they are intending to allow us to equip a second legendary then those changes could make more sense. As it is I do not really see most of the legendaries ever being used seems like each spec is going to have 1 or 2 legendaries depending on the situation. Unless you can pair one non spec specific with a specific which will add some variety.
