What and OLD story.
Cause it certainly has not been a question in DECADES.
We had 3 mages in are raid the other day 2 frost and 1 fire mage. All 3 of us were holding middle of the pack with the fire mage the lowest of the bunch.
So while we weren’t the top we were not the lowest.
We were not the at the bottom of the dps meters.
This was on normal and heroic raid bosses using single target.
Fire is doing extremely well right now.
Ice sadly is low tier. Arcane is fighting for last place with ele shaman and moonkin (single target), ignoring aug which has been totally dumpstered.
We’ll see how things shake out after tuning on Tuesday.
I have no idea how you decided that mages were “The lowest DPS class”… But they’re not.
Frost is honestly even stronger than people give it credit for and is fire wasn’t so strong, more people would be playing it (I find it personally far easier to DPS as frost and certainly do better numbers as Frost)
Meh, I still think set tuning is coming, as arcane the mobility is the best it’s ever been. I’m content at my KSH/heroic level and I always have the option to switch to fire if I want to go hard.
Yes, log does not mean anything, your one time experience is definitely the universal truth.
with recent tuning all 3 specs are middle of the pack damage-wise. but mage has such a great kit, it will still be brought even if not top damage
Quote for truth…
