Background on myself is I’ve played many thousands of hours of mage at a Curve/occasional CE level and generally plays what I consider the most fun over what may be the best to a reasonable degree.
My perspective is from the frost and fire side of the talents and the big issue I’m currently having is pretty much shared with every combination hero talent and frost/fire mage base and that’s just too much happening when it comes to procs/resets/refunds there’s just too many things I’m having to adjust gameplay to there’s no flow it feels more like don’t overcap/get on cooldown whackamole and I’m just not having fun with it because whenever you overcap on a resource even if its the correct decision it still leaves you feeling like your doing it wrong.
This has been been very prevalent in pretty much every combination of frost/fire mage and their hero talent trees and the only suggestion I really have is to really pull back on the amount of things give you a free spell, refund a spell, proc a thing or reset a cooldown because right now its just too much the cognitive load playing these feels harder to play than live which I believe is the opposite of their intended goal.
