funny u mention that and i was dueling my affy friend we go back and forth on. He always wins off randomly doing 2-3 mil dmg in a haunt global.

almost 2.7 mil in a global randomly with nightfall proc and all the other crap. Haunts airborne and shadowbolt follows it
They do that every 15 seconds lmao and you gotta wait for a massive scripted/telegraphed surge/magi and all the globals you spend in that window to match it.
I donât even think Aff should be doing that kind of damage, but arcane feels super limp comparatively lol.
Itâs okay. I hope the rework lets us do more dam.
My mage is 631 ilvl and while i understand im not fully geared yet, i have like 6 to 7 639 pieces and as many enchants as i can afford, and fire right now feels sickeningly underpowered lol.
My lock, which is like 636 i think, has incinerate hitting around 400 to 550k. Shadowburn around 400 low end to 750 high.
Why on EARTH is scorch hitting 300k on a CRIT, fireball doing around the same or less.
What is this right now. Its laughably low. Meteor 400k? A 30s cooldown that does 5% of someones health? Loool
Even kubzy quit 
Arcane mage down tremendous.
I messed around with arcane tonight and the tooltip damage alone is ridiculous. Arcane blast baseline forâŚ100k. lol.
It requires 4 casts and cooldowns to do anything. I canât believe what they did to the spec. Its terribly sad.
Arcanosphere used to be so fun to charge up and now its a 4 second charge up for 800k
Somethingâs gotta give, and I think theyâre going to give it the olâ devoker special of consecutive 10% buffs until itâs crucifying people for being in the open, but by then itâll be season 3 or 4 and they wonât nerf anything because theyâre too invested in the next expansion.
Iâm still mad theyâre nerfing gravity lapse!!! Thats the COOLEST button!!!
Idk, but for me on fire, I am usually hitting about 900-1m scorches with execute up.
That being said, my meteor still hits less than comet storm and I also have pyroblasts hitting for about 5% of someones hp still.
I canât press bust and just hurt people in a 3x poly on the healer, it still comes down to my ignite damage padding into dampening (full mastery stack on one of my mages usually has about 250k ignite ticks)
The fact that they said it was a stun and now itâs a root is sad because it was the last hope for sunfury PvP after the nerfs, and now spellslinger getting a clear casting buff and some other stuff makes it superior again.
But I think spellslinger is more fun for the base mage kit anyways. The extra shields and extra movement speed and extra distance on displacement are all great tools.
Kubzy quit???
Ya this is what feels awful for mage tbh. Fire is like a low/med pad dam support class majority of game. Not a showstopper with combust and CC.
Most classes can shrug off combust on their own without even needing a healer. Toss a hunter and ROS into mix they are def not giving up anything for the mages CD lol
Once combust is over they are def not worried about you freecasting anything. Heck you could turret fireballs and I donât think anyone would flinch or bother to kick you before they would win off raw parsing your team mate while you standby doing zero pressure and trying to peel with polys when it gets bad
