I want to vent about fire mage

But I feel like I’m beating a dead horse if I type the paragraph of vitriol that I want to.

It actually makes me want to stop queuing arena entirely, along with a handful of other things. Why can’t this be addressed?

Was gonna ask man… are you a dk main and are they frustrating you on your dk? Because if you hate queuing against them with ams, amz, deathstrike to negate the damage, and 4ish interrupts… imagine any other class and our frustrations >_<…

imagine if every kidney wasnt a guaranteed major defensive cd and stopping the mage actually meant something

remember when fire mage hpal teams had to use cds early and fast to win because they were on a timer

now they use cds early and fast because they can because blazingboost i mean blazing barrier

now i’d rather q into prot wars than fire mages
100% shorter games vs the prot wars

No I’m not a DK main I just love this transmog.

Idk what I would do to get a fire mage nerf though, Ion Hazznoclue needs to get fired

Edit: while we’re at it, can we nerf mut and buff sub in PvP please I’m getting better at this neat class and I want to feel more like a rogue and less like an arms warrior with daggers

If you buffed sub, you wouldn’t even need to nerf assas… Everyone would play sub. evisc already hit for 50k + last season, I imagine you can get close to 75k in there with dark, big badge, and symbols.

As a mediocre fire mage I have to say I’d be happy to roll frost if they just gave us deep freeze back. Gpyros are either hard to cast or game breaking if they hit. Id rather have stronger fireballs worth casting, but if gpyro is the onlu way to have a spell worth casting, ill use it.

Sometimes I think gpyro is a bandaid fix that blizzard doesn’t want to nerf because then they’ll see all the glaring issues with the spec

Mind you I don’t play fire so I don’t know a lot about it, but it seems like gpyro is a serious crutch that the spec leans on. And blizzard is afraid to kick it out from under them and then try to balance them without it

Wouldn’t it also be nice to have Phoenix flames baseline. Like probably top 5 gorgeous spells in the game. Not have it break cc would be beautiful.

Delete gpie completely. Or make it non useable with shimmer. Effectively making it almost useless.

Thug is already good as SV Sub Disc

MM would be worse but I mean that would actually be the spec holding things back, not the sub rogue

Increased heart rate and panic every 20 seconds.

Yeah but thug is so much more fun with a MM hunter, it doesn’t really play like a real cleave it’s almost like RMP of old in a lot of ways.

SV is kinda cool though, I just wish it didn’t go squish. I wonder if reintroducing spirit bond would help any

Plays the exact same with SV as it does with past MM or old RMP

SV being “melee” doesn’t really change all that much, you still have a good toolkit and a bunch of ranged damage so you kite the exact same way hunters always would have or go offensive to survive the same way hunters/mages would

There’s actually no difference in what would happen since people are going to usually be cross CCd anyways you just would have an actual mix of magic+physical damage and better utility compared to MM
