You took a ranged class that was really strong single target but not so strong in comparison to others in AoE fights… It felt more balanced. Not saying we need to be the best but least the rotation was a rotation and not only depending and playing a completely diff style just to use your “new” talent… Its annoying weve gone this long to learn a rotation that was fun for us too now being forced to play diff talents just to come in 10th from being #1 in raids. This is BS of you to change all this last second. We pay money each month to play a game and for months weve seen good changes coming then last second you just gut us. WTF Blizz
Agree, it is a slap in the face of customers who have invested time in this Class / Spec, to have that time wasted mid season. We all would have made different choices if this spec was known to be in the state it is now, before TWW started.
I don’t under stand why they are tuning the way they are. They could have tuned the multiplicative spell fire spheres buff and it would have been fine. But to gut AB and Abarr is nuts. What’s also nuts is they nerfed arcane SS with that AND directly by nerfing Orb splinter generation (which also has a bug and is nerfing Frost SS generation with frozen orb). Frost ss is now a frost bolt turret, they completely changed its playstyle. Like how crazy. Not to mention fire is still trash and frost Frostfire is now considered meta by pre heat. It’s not just arcane. Mage itself is not in a good spot
This hurts me the most. The past several hot fixes, you see nerfs to Arcane Blast and Barrage. Just let me hit a reasonable amount with all these dang modifiers.
Agreed, just doesnt feel fun to play right now. Debating my next move
