90 Frostbolt=Dev not playing own game

recent beta change for Frost Mage legendary clearly showed Dev did not play their own game, 90 Frostbolt to get a proc, that is every 4 minute. Its 9.0 not Classic for pete’s sake.

if ATVI could not handle this IP, sell it to google, like Micorsoft for Bethesda

first delayed expansion in a decade and wow team is still wasting time on stupid things

Frostbolt has a 2s base casting time. With haste it’s less than 2s. So 90 frostbolts is roughly 180s = 3 minutes. If we take flurry procs into account it will be less than 3 minutes.
It is a big nerf in comparison to the its previous state. The orb we lunch after 90 frostbolts can be avoided in the same way FO can

To be fair on this note, things are kind of bonkers right now. Shadowlands is hardly the only game / media to get bumped back due to covid.

I’m hoping with the flurry cast this would be less painful but 90 still feels absurdly high and some of fires legendaries got nerfed and they’re already doing terribly to begin with lol

Worst idea I’ve heard in a while.

You heard about shammy’s nuking teams in arenas? They really do not play their otherwise how would an effect that wipes out an entire team actually make it that far?

I’ll never understand why fire is so damn difficult for them to make even competitive.

I think I misread this post, are you saying fire isn’t competitive?

They made a blue post that the legendary tuning is off and that they are not as strong as they want

Anyone would be better than activision. Even EA would be preferable to the horrible, ego-fuelled, narcissistic embarassing failure that is activision. Selling WoW to Hobby Lobby would be a good move at this point, just so long as those crazy activision people stop flogging the joy out of this IP we love.

I’ll be honest, I’m more annoyed by the WC change causing you to have to cancel your frostbolt casts to be able to double IL.

Often isn’t. I’m aware it currently is - it was not for a lot of BfA, and it will not be in SL as it stands.

Ah yes, get your conduits through lootpacks only. $5.99 for 3.

Some of the mage legendaries being a 1% DPS increase is pretty funny.

Didn’t you hear? If everything is useless no one can feel bad for making a choice that gives them something useless.

Totally agree. Activision should sell the game to Google because they nerfed a legendary (and then posted about reconsidering nerfing legendaries.)

Was fun while it lasted, oh well.

Well unless they use the conduit that stacks and reduces frostbolt cast by 50% during icy veins, use thermal void to increase duration of icy veins, use other conduit that reduces cooldown of icy veins when it crits on frozen targets and suddenly you have a frostbolt machine gun

They just want to make sure everyone’s legendaries are as fun as Balance’s are currently.

Did we miss BfA?

What a crap legendary. Lmao
