Period.
Drinking is not fun. Mages are terrible to play. Evocation needs a shorter cooldown. Mana needs to regen faster. Downtime after every 2 pulls feels awful and not fun. Please fix this and I will come back to SoD.
This is Classic + make some changes to this please.
As someone who mained Mage through all of Classic,
No. Learn to play your class and deal with it.
you got to 60 in classic I assume?
Yeah this is different. Next.
At 25 I am certainly not drinking every 2 pulls, but certainly have to drink less than normal with some of the new abilities.
I do agree mana consumption is an issue for long fights.
It is because we are lvl 25.
As a druid, I basically can only cast 3 heals and I am oom. It is awful.
But the lvl cap increase will fix this
Mages out here not speccing mana reducing talents or clearcasting, and then complaining about mana issues.
Eh, mana is fine. Its all part of the balancing act. Plus it soft-enforces a non-“gogogo” mentality.
This is a huge part of the fun of playing a mage.
Pretty sure this happens in later expansions.
Being level 25 is different from being level 60? A lot of people spent a great deal of time grinding SM with 3 mages, and warlock and a priest. Mana sticks with mana.
I feel priests are the new hunters in regards to trolling. You get some mana efficient spells and suddenly you want everyone to suffer.
except era is literally already aoefest gogogo mentality in any dungeon you go to just like retail 
I seriously find the chutzpah of complaining about the very existence of mana to be very irritating 
Please, please, go back to retail.
Unlike Priest, you have solutions to your mana issues, whereas we do not. As a retired main Mage, who is currently suffering with the lack of mana efficiency that Priest has, get good.
what is this retail logic?
and i don’t even say this from a classic andy perspective, mana is a core part of classic and changing it would require completely gutting and reworking abilities. you don’t have classic without mana, it’s too intrinsic to the game
so why are you even playing?
/sarcasm
Hhhmm … Eating is not fun. As a warrior I should be able to chain pull indefinitely and never have to worry about my heath. Also, rage sucks. My skills shouldn’t cost anything.
/endsarcasm
tl;dr - OP doesn’t want to have to manage resources.
he thinks SoD is a retail expansion. many such cases
im fine with managing resoruces. Being oom every 2-3 mins is terrible gameplay.
I want to play a dps that doesnt need to drink water.
Warrior: No.
Rogue: No.
Hunter: No.
Feral Druid: No.
Mage: PERFECT.
So how long would be appropriate? 4 mins? 8 mins? 15 mins?
Whats that exactly? Evo? 8 min cd? Please you are a troll. Next
Manage your mana better imo.
