completely miss the buff they need which is in surviabillity

Does anyone aside from MM Hunters even find that fire mages easy to kill? I can’t think of any time I see a fire mage and think to myself “oh nice this should be an easy kill”. Having what like ~150k less health? doesn’t mean they just die. They still have the full mage defensive kit at their disposal.

The only thing I’d really agree to with regards to their survivability is they’re the easiest mage spec to kill (which isn’t saying much as none are easy to kill) and they are slightly more susceptible to burst (have a cheat death to cover that though). I honestly think their damage can be a bit nutty already and don’t think people realize what’s in store for them after these hotfixes today.

You’re just slowly sliding into Moom Guard territory now.

I just wanted to make an Austin Powers reference!

That being said, I have a friend who named his character “Utherbolvar” with Arthas in the guild title and just intentionally RPs the wrong lore on moonguard in between shuffle Qs and people lose their minds.

I’m just ready for shadow to not suck in playstyle!!! I know it pumps but Jesus it’s so bad to play imo , compared to other versions.

@Nasrajin-sargeras

wrong lore on moonguard

There’s a guild called The Stormwind Guard and they have people who go around publicly executing someone for talking bad to a guard (after the guard tried to arrest someone for not being a Paladin or whatever) and they get really pissed if you don’t go along with whatever they’re doing.

So honestly hats off to your friend lmao

Edit: like legit in BfA they had one of their “sergeants” come in with a pistol and write paragraphs of them pulling their flintlock out and blowing this guys brains out because he was a warlock with his pet out in some RP situation or whatever.

Unhinged behaviour lol

This is simultaneously so cringe yet awesome.

Id say outlaw DH and Warlock finds fire easy to kill

[Exalter-malganis (Exalter)]

Well I have a feeling we’re going to find out if that’s true in these next few weeks.

[Ärete-tichondrius]

They were true as of this post prior patch .was your question asked post patch only?

[Exalter-malganis (Exalter)]

My original question was rhetorical and applies to both. None of the changes for those classes would take them from finding Fire Mages easy to kill to not. Sure they help some, but not to any significant degree that would now allow Fire Mages to thrive if they were easily killed yesterday.
