Mage nerf... sure

LMAO, 25% barrier nerf, so mages have one barrier split into two barriers now, meanwhile Rets heal people to full, have sanct, bubble, barrier, plate.

Hunters will just farm free wins from now on in every shuffle lobby with a mage. Arcane does garbage DMG, Frost doest gargabe DMG, so they want to bring fire in line with those specs. Meanwhile warriors are having a blast 3 hitting people, it is always the same pattern. Mongo melee is always favored rofl.

PS: People are too dumb to just bring a priest (shaman) to dispell the barrier instantly. The way every healer is a priest you can just remove the spell from the it won’t make a difference perhaps.

Specimens such as this are why mages are always so favorably tuned at higher levels of play.

Almost any other class can do the same or more DMG than fire mage, just look at Devourer DH, how long they were allowed to 2 shot people.

Fire mage is currently somewhat more realistic. Arcane needs to hard cast, a lot, and it does poor DMG for it, it is focused every game as it is, now with a 25% barrier nerf, it will just die quicker, it will be unplayable, mark my words. The spec just needed to do more DMG to be fun and viable, instead they nerf it and alienate the players who play arcane. Just burry the spec in the beginning of the season, because why not?

Frost will be trash, with hard casted frostbolts hitting for 20k DMG and depending on a precog to cast Ray, which is also over 100% nerfed anyway, it does not scare anyone anymore. With already nerfed defensives, now with 25% less HP on barriers, just park it, or run a cookie cutter swiss clock comp, where everything happens at the right time, else mage will be just trash.

Fire will still be playable, somehow, because it has combustion, that’s it, but as soon as a hunter enters the lobby it will two shot the mage. Pray for the healer to be good, else you can just go afk.

At 1100 sure

Mage will be S tier, same as always

At worst (purely hypothetically, obviously) A++ tier

I saw you at 2300 that’s it. There is no achievement for 2400+, like I was.

PS: I was top 100 and you were trolling people as prot.

For the record are you citing 2400 shuffle in Galactic as Frost

Especially when you’d tank down to 2050 on a weekly basis and throw up a dissertation on how it didn’t count

Also annoying that the Frostfire OP barrier is nerfed harder than the other mages. It’s 40%, not 60%.

And now a baseline nerf of 25% brings it back to a regular barrier (prenerf) lol.

100k barrier plus 40% OP at 140k
75k barrier plus 40% OP at 105k

What’s the point of OP barrier? More like “Slightly stronger barrier”.

At any rate, nerf if they must, but why is frostfire barrier nerfed more heavily? I’m thinking it was when frost had a stamina buff in the beginning?

Have you thought about using mages crazy mobility to not get hit?

Frost or fire mage will still probably be on winning blizzcon team despite the nerfs.

Only a few melee are really strong rn, rest of us catching strays lol.

You could remove barrier, and reduce mages DMG by 50% and people would still manage to do that.
