I’ve been seeing more and more double fire Mage, I thought it was just cheese but it’s actually insane how much control and damage they have. They’re survivability is next level, damage is nuts, and too much control. Running two of the same spec shouldn’t be viable. It’s not fun to play against.

Dirty Demon Hunter you shut your mouth.
Dont nerf me bro!
I prefer the term “Godly”, thanks.
Still could be worse, I could point the finger at several other classes.
We’re Mages, its what we do, we dominate things. (also play a rogue, I know I am scum)
Alright kitten, that’s where I draw the line. double “class name here” has been a thing since TBC, and there is nothing wrong with it. It’s actually sub optimal, and only good vs certain comps.
Nerf Demon Hunters too. They’re survivability is next level, damage is nuts, and too much control. It’s not fun to play against.
See…I can complain too without providing any context.

too many pal specs bumping down everyone on the ladder
Once this weekends AWC comes around and all you see is Mage/x/x or War/x/x hopefully some nerfs will be coming.
Says the DH that was OP for the entirety of BFA. Ignorance is bliss.
Never forget Legion

what rating are u playing at? i have never seen double mage at 1800 in 2s
I have at 2k. It’s not common, though. Mostly just Mitch viewers trying to be good. It’s still surprising how viable the comp is.
I guess anything is viable when you both one-shot somebody with CDs up.

Mains a Rsham, not DH. I’m just really not fun playing against anything with a Fire Mage. I ground one Poly, Windshear next, then my Warrior intervenes next then get Dragonbreathed into Poly>Poly>Poly… Then because they’re always playing with a HPal I get HoJed. I feel like even though I outplay them for majority of the game, I still lose the first time I’m in one CC chain.
Mages and all Paladins seem to be the classes who are able to mess up over and over but still win.
double fire mage is because people watch mitch and xaryu play it…
they are really good.
also, lets not forget double DH was a thing even at blizzcon for a whole xpac…
I know, double DH shouldn’t have been a thing either. I’d be completely fine if they straight up deleted DH from the game.

100% agree that are broken
If you nerf fire mage you are making rogue unviable to a casual/lfg player.
We need Fire mages to get anywhere atm
It seems like they need to straight-up go back to the drawing board designing at least 2/3 of the mage specs.
Make frost about Deep Freeze burst setups again like WotLK. Make fire not utterly revolve around a broken ability like combust.
There aren’t that many double fire mages but let’s not pretend OP is wrong about anything else he said in his post lol

SL season 1 is similar to BFA corrupted season, difference is one shotting via borrowed power vs one shotting via class ability in a busted meta. Gearing alt through pvp is absolute bad in this patch, high ilvl fire mages with combustion can kill low ilvl with this instant cast abilities. Some retards will say use defensive and what they being retard is after using defensive you still die in 1 GCD . I hope busted meta is removed as soon as possible, it’s giving the PVE players ability to one shot pvp players. I never expect balance from a pvp in a MMORPG game, but one shotting people like in BFA corrupted season is unacceptable, I hope damage is nerfed hard sooner or later.
Need to nerf a lot of things, and I am not going to say Ele shaman should be exempt. Feel like I can 80% someone doing casual Damage sometimes with mastery procs.
I know I am in rat leagues, but a lot of things need nerfs. At least in BFA/Legion I felt like if I ever fought a Rogue/Mage (it was 2s, but I think the point stands) and lost that there was something better we as a team could do. Currently, seems like there is little to do against it. Again, I know its just 2s, but this whole meta seems off with the amount of damage going out.
Logical opinion but I’m pretty sure every spec/class minus MW Monk and Resto Druid are in a very good spot right now.
Healthy diversity.
Most complaints about specs/classes are usually fixed by the complainer learning to play better.
