So the level cap is like 25 and a mage can solo AoE an entire level 20 instance basically. I think this is a bit on the absurd side of balance. Mage AoE farming was always a thing but the healing rune takes it to the next level.
I haven’t experienced it first hand but I’ll be making a mage alt to try it out. I have priest, paladin, rogue, and druid at 25. The priest nerf was well deserved at this stage. Priests were insane healing wise. I hope they address the mage AoE issue as well.
That’s one thing you absolutely aren’t doing.
Mages doing what mages always do.
Probably in pvp . I believe no class should ever be nerfed in pve .
I can’t wait until OP comes back complaining that AoE farming instances is too hard.
Mages aoe farming dungeons?
Is this a 2004 thread that someone necro’d?
Half a sentence in, and already cringing.
Frost Mages were getting way out hand with blizzard, but now mages getting insane with living bomb . This is truly getting out of hand , that is for sure .
Mages are bonkers in PvP right now too. 4-5 Fire Mage teams are melting entire squads with Living Bomb stacks.
I ran with a group last night with 1 War, 2 Priests, 2 Boomkin and 5 Mages. The entire enemy team was dead before our Warrior could call a second target. It was wild.
Well then stop stacking together like bowling pins.
Mages are kings of aoe, this is nothing new.
When every person has 5 Living Bomb DoTs on them, the rot damage alone is insane. When the explosions go off the person takes massive damage as well.
Living Bomb stacking is crazy damage, even if everyone is spread out.
I mean, everyone is more powerful. I’m not sure how anyone would come into SoD and not think that mages would be better at mage things than they would be in other flavors of Classic.
Eh if it was up to me, I’d restrict AOE to 10 mobs.
There is an AOE cap in place now for 10 mobs. So if you pull more than 10 the damage gets distributed between all of em and you do the same DPS as you’d do to 10.
What I’d do was to hard stop at 10. Like if you are AOEing 11 mobs at the same time. number 11 receives 0 damage.
And what’s up with mages being able to teleport to two of the three capital cities?
Nerf hunters naow!
you were funnier, when you were 14. Can you go back to 14 ?
How does mages doing mage things affect anyone else? They been aoe farming since vanilla. If you want to aoe farm make a mage alt. Thats all the input i have. Why nerf there aoe limit?
A paladin complaining that mages are OP? How cute.
Yea go ahead try doing that solo in Stockades lets see how it goes lol.
It’s not that they are “solo” AOE’ing the instance. It’s how they do it… which is pretty much the same as usual.
Oh if I stand here then take a step or two then go back and forth I can exploit pathing. Oh and no I don’t want people banned for pathing exploits. They could simply fix the pathing to solve the problem… It’s not like there is a shortage of videos on YT about it. “Hey everyone look I’m going to do this to get 31 in a few hours after phase 2 starts.” I was watching a video earlier and this was what it was about. I had seen the same person post a video of their mage in Stockades previously.
I’m just kind of sick of nerfs (don’t play mage so whatever I guess) etc This is one of those things they could actually solve without nerfs or suspensions.
Hey hey now
