I just played against multiple different frost mages as a warrior, in War Within the discrepancy is even higher than before.
My experience is just 90% downtime, doing nothing, i coulnd’t catch any target because mage slows and snare are unbearable.
I cant loss any player because im 80% slowed and/or rooted.
I can’t hit.
I can’t protect myself because my only defensive parries nothing.
100% Instant defeat.
How is this allowed? why class X can stop 90% of class Y uptime? This is crazy, is just like a disconnect… no other class has this kind of balance and limitation.
Arms isn’t in a hot spot right now, try fury, it does just fine.
Stop trying to make the only playable (still not S tier) mage spec garbage. Frost mage generally counters warrior, deal with it or reroll. They get crapped on my dragons, shamans, hunters, and locks, and they aren’t particularly great against dks, rogues, and priests either. It’s just a matter of rock paper scissors to a large extent.
Affliction warlocks are 1000x more broken than frost mage as far as dps specs, and preservation evoker is so far beyond busted for healers it’s free elite already for any remotely decent one.
Notwithstanding that you’re complaining about your hard counter, instead of reflecting on everything you can’t do, how about try to think about how you could have played better, or maybe even offer an idea as to what you’d change (e.g., beyond, nerf my counter so I can mongo harder)?
I love posts like this. The exaggeration(s) is/are so extreme that the post invalidates itself/precludes itself from having any credibility (the fact that a dk posted this is just sweet icing on the cake kekw).
before it was already a joke, i had to reflect about the 30% that i could do… now is 10%… mage frost are in the worst state in their whole history, theres no excuses anymore.
ALL SLOWS should be 50%, no slow removal on blink anymore.
Assassination rogue, another spec that if played well, should have no problem with frost mage.
It’s strong/solid A tier I will give it that. Unholy dk dunks on frost mage though if played even remotely well.
I think what we have here with all these whine posts about frost mage is a noob-stomper situation, e.g., yeah frost mage is going to dunk on you when you waste your gap closers and just randomly press your cooldowns/just try to tunnel the mage with zero regard given to your healer.
Even fury warrior tbh can hold it’s own against frost mage if their partner is on top of purging/dispelling alter/shields.
Frost mage being op is only a thing if they can actually get value out of their shields and alter. In the vast majority of arena matches in any given bracket, someone can purge/dispel the mage, and when they are good about doing it, mages, including frost, flop.
I’d personally rather do the 600k+ sustained dps just from applying affliction dots, or 1million+ dps that devastation currently does when bursting, as opposed to doing a few hundred thousand with a lot of annoying slows.
I’m not saying it’s a good matchup, but idk, when you guys are paired with a healer that can purge/dispel, and you just train the healer, I feel like fury can do well.
In a 1v1 yeah mage absolutely dominates warrior I get it, and it’s a 0% chance to win matchup if the warrior doesn’t have an offensive purge/dispel on team (unless they can mongo the healer down), but complaining about frost mage in this scenario is just like a frost mage complaining about marksmanship hunters, unholy dks, etc., in that every spec just has some hard counter(s).
They don’t.
Every time i see a frost mage in my lobby i just leave arena and went check my auction house. I’ll not waste my time with this kind of garbage anymore.
