Mage survivability/armor nerf in latest patch?

Hey guys. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I searched and couldn’t find this topic anywhere else.

Is anyone else finding it feels like you have no armor anymore when playing arcane mage? Before Tuesday’s update I had no issues. Now I am dying to low level mobs while just doing normal questing in Khaz Algar. Is there something I’m missing or perhaps a bug of some sort? I’m finding it impossible to even play the game at the moment without constantly dying.

Thanks for any feedback!

I haven’t noticed anything yet. I’m sure you’ve checked if you’re repaired. Have you leveled recently, say from 76-77 or somewhere in there? The scaling when leveling can feel rough at a certain breakpoint especially in an alt that wasn’t 500+ ilvl already

Both Arcane and Fire mages are a bit squishy compared to Frost. frostfire spec for fire and frost specs have extra shielding. Spell slinger mages have a potential for stronger shields too, but it is based on your missing health which I personally do not care for.
