I had mentioned this in a response to an earlier post. I have played this mage off and on since vanilla, and this is the worst performance the class has had that I can remember. Our defenses are horrible, even with upcoming tuning. 3% damage increase to arcane will bring it on par with frost. Fire has just been left behind. Still leaving a pure dps spec in C and B tier for higher keys. Solution, switch to the flavor of the month void mage, I mean devourer DH. Half the buttons to push as a mage, but insanely better survivability and dps. RIP mage class, Blizzard has forgotten your glory of the past.
For all the people complaining about Pyroclasm, just know that Void Mage requires you to frequently stand still to channel Void Ray, and if you move during Collapsing Star it goes on a 5 second cooldown and you might not be able to cast it before Meta runs out so it’s very punishing. And despite this all Void Mage is still meta.
Anyway, Blizzard, buff Pyroclasm like crazy! Fire is so undertuned right now!!
