It feels like it hits like a wet noodle.

Idk, I have a suspicion Glass Cannon Fire is about to do some things and people won’t like it
(Might just be a BG meme build like Death Wish though.)

I knew the crit nerf and slowing down would harm mage even more, they made sheep not heal anymore, like 4 expansions late, but now sheep is irrelevant anyway and all mage can do is spam DMG to try to kill someone.
This is not even possible now, people have more HP, crits are lower and mage is hitting for way less.
Just delete that spec.
People don’t even bother to go mage, or let mage free cast, it’s like a kid in an MMA fight, the real fighters, the melee just ignore them. LMAO

Ur cooked every mage spec seems pretty darn good rn
If arcane and fire hit 150k what constitutes a hard noodle

I’m going to say I think you’re wrong
They did this before nerfs and were bad. Now everyone has 500k + Hp
Sat in Durotar for 2 days this week watching Setback smoke everyone left and right in duels. I think Mage is doing fine.

it’s not bad it’s just boring. Every spec is ‘avoid dmg, pve’
watched a few Venruki games before replying, he casted sheep like 3 times in 4 games.
almost never worth to push in for cc anymore, you just sit back and wait for your teammate to carry/spoon feed you a sheep

Even new Shadow Priest is way better, and it’s immobile and nerfed having to hard cast.
I am hearing Balance Druid is good though, was actually my first main, then I figured out hybrids were a joke back in the day and rolled mage, but now mage is a joke.

I would’ve rather had a talent where sheep didn’t break on damage so easily. It makes it hard to use in solo shuffle
I mean, it’s like you can’t do anything else, you just spam DMG and your DMG is somehow low compared to other specs that can silence, stun, MS, dot and spam DMG too.
You rely on crits and people have 500k+ HP and crits hit for 25% less DMG, you basically got nerfed by 25% and they did not give anything in return, just to do the DMG you did to people with less HP you need to stand in ROP.
He said they don’t do damage, I disagreed.

A 1v1 the mage basically has a target dummy to hit. Mages do damage for sure but its not a good representation of damage output when theres no one to stop the combust

Idk im like 2100mmr right now in shuffle with a 50% WR.
Damage feels mostly ok? I do feel more fragile then usual though bc of glass.
I had fury warrior caut’d me off charge in opener with that odyns crap. Then I got flopped by a incin double shadowburn. Shadowburn alone crit me for like 166k lol.
Glass cannon for fire feels necessary to do damage but also a really nasty double edged sword is all I can really comment on.
Every lobby has been warlock/hunters/shaman/warrior so its a bit hard to gauge defensively into those rn anyway lol.
outside of arena? I’ll beat most people though for those who care about other pvp formats. Bgs/open world ez pz
Always a gimmick that is actually trash on a dead spec.
