Greater pyro out of control

Discipline is getting nerfed in a week. Fire mages are the next most broken due to greater pyro.

I take it you’d have no problem with Aimed Shot getting doubled cast time and doubled damage?

Can you pummel an aimed shot?

Do you have to take a pvp talent to get aimed shot?

Umm things like cbolt and gpyro don’t instantly hit once cast… they fly through the air before hitting you. Not saying you can los it while it’s travelling, but you do still have to factor in air time, so it’s not just a few seconds.

Seeing the huge CB/GP coming is an indicator to use defensives.

( I’ve seen my GPyro take almost 4 seconds of travel time to hit a DH scooting away from it!)

“What is Shimmer?”

Okay so interrupt it, reflect it, immune it somehow (almost all melee have something to prevent magic damage) or just eat one and heal back up.

Interrupt 15s cd
Reflect (not sure about cd)
Immune def has a cd

Gpy can be cast again and again. It’s a terrible design and should be removed. But this is Blizz. Sooo.

Lol. This actually made me laugh out loud. I mean i guess we ARE talking about random bgs so this is possible. In any rated game a semi competent mage will make sure you’re eating a gpy, meteor, combust, etc. while your healer is in a poly/ring.

You won’t even need to; the stun that comes with charge will take care of it.

You have to take one to make aimed shot useful in PVP. But sure, put the modifications on the double tap talent instead of on the base aimed shot.

Quick browsing Fire complaints.

Not true. The animation takes a second, but mechanically, the hit is instant. Same with warrior charge, etc.

1v1 sure it may be rough, but shimmer has a cd too so you just don’t make the mistake again and hope you have better teammates to stop them from happening.

Fire mages aren’t as popular in rbgs as boomkins, aff locks and spriests though.

Doesn’t change how OP they are or how badly designed they are.

Yes, I said they could be a problem in arenas paired up with rogues. That’s due more to the instant damage they deal as gpyro hits… it’s not just gpyro

Yes, it’s all part of a problem but gpy on it’s own is still not something that should be in game. I wonder about the upcoming Aimed Shot.

Badly designed? Sure… OP? Nope. fire mages do nothing when I’m around

Badly designed and OP. That’s what Fire is right now. I think they save being not-afk for when you’re not around. :wink:

Or people are letting them free cast and wiping teams.

Freecasting or not doesn’t change that it’s OP.

Do you think CB is OP? I can pump out 2 in the time they get 1 gpyro off
