what is the damage scale of spell cast by Mirrage image?

Not sure but it’s pretty much NOT recommended for ANY of the three specs. It’s a talent that needs a major overhaul … but we’re mages so that won’t happen.

This info was back in Legion but early Legion IIRC MI was 0.8 for Arcane, 1.1 for Fire, and 1.3 for Frost. Doubt those numbers are still true but the spell is less than useless anyways and should have remained a baseline spell among half the other talents that should have also remained baseline.

Mages are one of the most outdated classes around. We still have to use Rune of unfun and cast 3k damage fire balls.

I would be fine with it just being a way to drop threat and get away.

It’s a pity because I like the idea of mirror image. It’s just not worth the dps loss. The only time I would think it might be slightly ok is in PvP with the hopes it might fool your opponent for half a sec? Maybe?

That whole talent row needs to be changed up … but we’re mages: we’re lucky they remember to give us talents at all.

The mirror images talent is fun but that’s bout it

I haven’t used it in a long time, but it did pull aggro last time I used it, and an aggro dump is mainly what I used it for. It’s great for open-world content and solo questing. Not so great for anything else, especially considering the other options on that row.

I meant if it was made baseline. Take the damage away and just have it be a threat drop.

Mirror Image should be remade to act more like pseudo-pvpers, like the ones in island expeditions

Really, considering mages dmg is low right now in pve, I’d like to see the dmg buffed some. Not sure how it acts in PvP but pve defff needs a buff.

Appearance wise it’s more fun than rune of power too. So I’d hate to see it fall off. With that said it’s a big loss at the moment

Mirror image would be worthy if the CD was like 45 seconds. But other than that, I just use them for “emergency tanks” in PvE. They held aggro long enough to finish a boss after 4 out of 5 died. Since they removed the death voice from them when they die, they rarely fool PvPers. Mirror images would be better in PvP if they cast different spells and move independent of each other and if their health display matched the caster’s, but only as a guise.

honestly just make mirror images like pets and have them always out. The dmg atm is about 1x the amount of dmg you do when they are out.

Should be baseline imo. Can be used as a fun small dps cd or to drop aggro (like always)…why is it not baseline again?

16

The same reason Ebonbolt / Phoenix Flames / Ring of Frost / Flame On / Slipstream / Touch of the Magi / Arcane Orb aren’t baseline, because Blizz couldn’t be bothered to make spells that actually make sense to be talents. :man_shrugging:
