The snare nerfs means you’re basically useless in big dungeon pulls and kiting, you can’t boost people either cutting off a primary source of income for most Mage players.
Unless you genuinely enjoy playing a 3 button meme spec, what’s the point of going Mage in WoTLK when Blizzard absolutely gutted their most useful features?
I play my rogue mostly, but I leveled this guy up on a second account to make gold while sitting in bg queues on my rogue. Kinda wasted a lot of time and gold doing this due to the classic andy changes they are proposing. Guess i’ll just use it as an alchemy and tailoring cooldown bot lol. These people are the worst people irl, it’s why we can’t ever keep nice things.
It loses most of it’s survivability that it had in TBC, it dies a lot quicker and the two builds Arcane/Fire are literal 3 button or less specs that just dump out absurd numbers.
It’s fun in the sense that you can play it for a raid or two before realizing that you have to do this for an entire expansion and quit cause you can’t make gold or kite anymore either.
I mean I hate that classic andy’s ruined an entire class pre-expansion for basically no reason, but at the same time, I imagine Ghostcrawler smashing his fist on a table when learning this and it kinda makes it bitter sweet for me.
