Changes proposition for Mages to survive high end-game content

Classes Mage

Since it seems that Blizz don’t really know what to do with Mages, especially arcane (my main) and fire, i post this to help them until their attended rework in 12.1.

So we need a bit of dmg buffs but we REALLY need is survivabily vs other specs. This is easily achieves by the following changes :

  1. Buff Shields by 25%
  2. Ice cold now has a 1min30 cd instead of a thousand years and 40% dr instead of 70% (change the talent accordingly).

This is not hard to do, and idk why it takes 3 full months for Blizz to do. This way, Mages stay the glass cannon Blizz want without rigging high end-game content player of the awesome specs.

Thank you trollin’ blizz dev !

The mage armor spells could definitely stand to be buffed, even to 100% of HP in PvE. However, what would really make an impact is a flat stamina increase talent in the class tree like pretty much every other class. We can’t continue to be the class with the least HP, least armor, and worst defensive toolkit!
