Wdym? He’s the best frostbolt only mage who exclusively Qs with 1600 or below healers in only 2v2 while Qing during the work day and streaming while bald and wearing a flannel.
Have you gotten higher rated as a frostbolt only mage who exclusively Qs with 1600 or below healers in only 2v2 while Qing during the work day and streaming while bald and wearing a flannel?
If you haven’t, then you can’t day that you’re the best frostbolt only mage who exclusively Qs with 1600 or below healers in only 2v2 while Qing during the work day and streaming while bald and wearing a flannel.
Except Frostfire does not use Frostbolt, it uses Frostfire bolt.
Frostfire is fine, it has enough haste, but its also not built for organized 2v2. It’s a crapily engineered spec for organized 2s and 3s. Filled with dynamic cast timers, buffing mastery instead of verse and other crappy mechanics like CC breaking without cancelauras, and instant FFB procs that throw off your rotation without having WA to track them.
Elemental Builds always have been bad in 2v2 and 3v3 organized situations. They really only got by in 1v1 due to higher amounts of damage. Were also harder to pull off compared to pure frost builds. In world pvp/bgs where multiple players are present, they were decent at pumping high damage numbers.
With 2-3 players, we typically got owned due to having less survivability, RNG procs like impact or ignite not allowing us to CC and random CC breaks as compared to pure frost.
The same thing is present with current Frostfire build, to bee frankly honest.
No, not me. Though just ask Aluneth Master, Vultz, etc. We all have the same views for Frost Mage, lol. There are some R1s that are the exception, but many of us believe powerfully in the risk/reward of hardcasting and proper CC. Proper use of frostbite when and when not to use it, etc.
Retail Mage feels like dog water right now. Yes, its more viable now, but its not more fun than it was in DF.
It will be the perfect beginner spec in 11.1 because there will be very little variation in specs due to the new Frost tree arrangement and changes.
For 1, instant FFB should do less damage than casted FFB, not more.
Mage is doing great. Unfun? Maybe, but that are most specs. No clue why you want to do great and also have a lot of fun!
Fix those specs first, that aren’t even viable or nerf those, that are the reason for it. But hey, seems like the devs don’t learn, as they massively buffed warrior on ptr. No skill needed buffs of course, just flat 20% more dmg on basically anything that matters.
frankly honest.
