just because youre used to playing fire for the last 8 years doesn’t mean mage is bad
arcane and frost are insane right now on beta and are among the top performing specs in the entire game, both melee and ranged combined
they are also extremely strong in pvp (as always)
fire is lacking, but it’s about time the mage meta got switched up anyway. if you’re gonna cancel your subscription because you have to change your rotation for once in the last decade, you might wanna sub to hello kitty online instead
this has to be one of the worst class forums when it comes to policing themselves and shutting down completely moronic opinions

I’m not surprised nor do I care.
I think this is too dramatic.
Thats some half truths.
Mage in DF was arcane in S1+2 for raid hands down.
M+ rather weak and not part of the meta.
Frost was okayish.
Fire was unplayable until you did like 20+ keys (10+ now) and even then it was not the even the third best DD you could bring.
After the “rework” all three mage specs were good.
Frost was better in mass aoe
Fire was better in prio target damage.
Since shadow and augvoker were meta, fire just fit better for the prio damage with decent cleave.
In PUG keys frost was all around the better choice almost always.
What you are saying is maybe true for the best 100 M+ players. Other than that fire was never out of this world above the other two specs if ahead at all.
And right now it does tank damage and is worth half a DD slot at best.
So I think the “crying” is warranted.
