Just watched a Youtube clip showing that Regeneration now reduces mage frost and fire damage by 50% after use for five minutes. Also prevents Iceblock. So it seems the devs are still tuning abilities just two weeks from launch.
Was probably already tuned tbh.
After the datamine Blizzard came out and said there were remnants old information/runes in there.
And I’m sure the information we got from the demo was all from a previous build and not what they actually had set for launch.

The more they balance and tweak things, the worse SoD is going to be. They’re not good devs. Just take a look at feral in Wrath.
They had to make this change though. A full 31 talent frost mage with regeneration would be very OP in PvP.
Well I’m not really talking this change specifically. It’s also not fair to assume data mined stuff already hadn’t been adjusted.
I’m just saying going forward I have no faith in these guys and bowls of fruit. I honestly think the less they do, the better it’ll be.
That’s not a fair comparison. Wotlk is supposed to be “no changes” or very minimal… plus arena changes blah blah
Since SoD doesn’t exist they have far more freedom to do what they want.
wew, imagine doing some world content and topping yourself off with that heal just to be forced to afk for 5 mins with that debuff. Mages forever chewing on mana buns

I’m kind of skeptical about the current datamine state for mages (meaning the accuracy of whether or not that’s really how it will launch). The mana cost for regen and mass regen is absurd for example.
In the original reveal regen was 32% and mass regen was 21% of base mana for cost. Now regen is 42% and mass regen is… 69%. The devs are either trolling or you’ll be OOM at 25 in two casts of mass regen with buffs and gear. Maybe 3 casts once you’re in blues?
The massive nerf of temporal beacon also doesn’t seem reasonable. It went from 100% to 40% and the tooltip still claims it’s split on top of that.
You might want to tell Blizzard that. Because according to them that’s not the case.
Those numbers cant be final…
This is good, im glad you cant spam heals as a frost mage.
Its meant to be an arcane like temporal healer kinda like a evoker
