Arcane Mage for the last 2 months has been the most fun I’ve ever had playing WoW. Does anyone know any games that play in the way AM played since the rework but before this latest batch of neutering? I want to go play that instead.
Are you being this dramatic over a 10% nerf to Arcane Pheonix and a 1second nerf to Arcane Soul, the Sunfury specific nerfs? Something that wasn’t even accessible until a week ago?
Or did I miss a blog post?

The Ret mastery change is justified. Ret mastery is almost as good as strength. I did napkin math and the mastery nerf will drop my mastery by 1.6%, but we’re getting a 5% holy dmg buff.
i was over the moon when i saw my main’s class wasnt mentioned in that post aside from a pvp-only nerf.
god i hate those blue posts of doom xD

The latter, I wouldn’t mind a static damage nerf and a shortening of the Arcane Soul window, what bothers me is the Burden of Power nerf. They removed double-dipping for Burden of Power, making the rotation more static than it needs to be, and removing the possibility for high-skill weaveplay which we’d enjoyed since the rework! We JUST went over this exact situation too! They made a massively unpopular change to Nether Precision’s double dipping capabilities and walked it back because it did nothing but make the class more static and remove the potential for skilled play. This is frustrating because it’s as if they don’t learn from their mistakes, and gut a fun aspect of the class I love when a simple numbers tuning would’ve done the job.
