If you get your combust purge them you are doing something wrong dude.
Even tho if it was as easy to purge as you state them what about classes that cant purge? Is not fair and thats why the game is not balance is stupid mechanic.
They should nerft its damage output and make it so is not purgable.
Them Get rid of tripple shield legendarie because mages are not supose to be the tankiest spec in game . And boom everything is ok

close… mastery is only increased to 50% of the rating… was 100% equal in BfA.
tells me all i need to know about your knowledge of the game… how tf can you even have an opinion on something and you literally don’t even know what you’re talking about lmao… There is no possibility a mage is getting a 45 second combustion in PvP my G.

Geared mages are doing 40+k damage through high vers targets in <2 seconds.
Yah, its not a gear thing
No one is dying to Combustion in 1 second. That’s a flat-out bold faced exaggeration. You get no points, and may God help your soul.

Idk if bad is the word speaking I been on the ladder since the season started. But that doesn’t matter. A good team will make sure the mage is clean even if their not going him so they can purge it within the first two global see it’s takes things like that to counters mages
Consolidate the shield into one buff and sure. Going through heating up procs, 3 shields, healer buffs, arcane int.
Lol just purge bro!
So against teams that dont run a purge class, there are only 2 with spammable purges mind you, they should just auto lose?
If you’re using Mitch and Xar doing a corny Pyroclasm build where they have to line up every single CD together then you have a point. Otherwise, literally no one else plays that way and that build isn’t gonna work outside of double r1 fire mage.
They did the same crap last night as frost mage. I don’t see anyone in here complaining and crying that Frost is busted because a couple r1s found a cheese build that 1 shots.
I remember double SP being oppressive same as double lock for a little bit while until you learned how to beat it
Think about this: Mages get to run a full-defensive legendary and still one-shot people. Every other spec has to run a specific covenant, conduit, and legendary to achieve what Mage has baked into their kit, giving them to freedom to just pick the best defensive legendary for the class.
Fire needs a considerable nerf to force them into a specific covenant, conduit, and legendary combination like all of the other specs.

Got stunned last night on my DK with 25% versa and 36k hp.
Trinket was down.
14k meteor, 12kpyro 12k pyro dead. That is not counting the random fireblasts thrown in that somehow still remain off gcd.
Where is the counterplay? Legit died in 2ish seconds
Think mages are getting nervous after watching the AWC quilifiers legit having a mage on 90% of teams

They nerfed rogues damage when everyone was in blues still. It’s long over due for all the other burst to get nerfed too. Hopefully they nerf hybrid heals too

1.) Wasn’t <2sec. like you claimed.
2.) You saw the stun coming for you. If you didn’t its a L2P issue.
3.) Press Icebound and become immune to stuns pre-emptively if you know they’re going to go on you. If they go on you and you didn’t know they were going to, still press Icebound Fortitude and instantly get out of the stun and become immune to all incoming stuns.
3.) Press AMS/AMZ right after you press Icebound.
4.) use your stun/blind/slow to either CC and get counter pressure or kite.
idk… this screams you just didnt do anything and sat their taking it on the chin…
I haven’t seen these numbers yet where were your teammates ?
For the record, I am not for Combustion being nerfed. What needs nerfed is Rune of Power. That will literally fix your gripes with Combustion damage being too high.
Other mages may get upset with this take, but idc, i dont like the RoP build I’m forced to play in order to be meta. Makes the class feel gimmicky and 1-shotty. Rather have fire have consistent pressure with a decent burst than be an all-in class every 1:15-1:30…

they both need to be nerfed lmao. its not one or the other
You’re the kind of guy who makes assumptions about other people without actually looking into what they’ve said on prior posts. 
so who’s the bigger d-bag here? pretty certain it isnt me…
oh, but it definitely is.
Before people started playign the Rune Of Power talent everyone went Arcane because Fire didn’t do insane burst. It was just steady pressure. Then once the word got out about Rune Of Power working directly with combustion on goes everyone switched back to fire, including all of the r1’s who were maining arcane.
