Mages had to lose their AoEing privileges by changing rules in dungeons but now you decide to let them heal. Mage’s only weaknesses are they can’t heal and they lose mana. And now you patch up one of them.
How about allow warlocks to become healers. Imagine allow warlocks to drain life from enemies while healing allies. That would be a completely new take.
Shaman being retooled to tanking that’s enough to add into tanking. Make paladins tank better ok. If you looking to bolster healer ranks (we already got 3-4 healers) go with warlock healer.
I think newish info has the mage heal pretty much railroad you into only using arcane spells if you want to use it though. 50% reduced fire and frost spell damage and cannot use ice block for five minutes, and the heal reduced/mana cost increased.
I think it will be fine, they basically disabled firw and frost spells if you use a heal.
So you essentially have to be arcane to heal.
I agree. Mages should be tanks only.
IMO they should make Warriors have healer runes as their only new options. Telling them to put on a dress and heal would be poetic justice.
That’s kind of a weird kink. Just sayin. 
Warlock player here. 2 words… Life tap.
every class is a hybrid now. we can make mages tank instead. spam arcane blast for threat with ice barrier on steroids.
actually that’s true lol. Their the only pure dps class now. They need to be top dps imo then.
