Feels like my mage is perpetually at 0% mana and unable to kill anything since earlier today. Main mage player r13/naxx on era, classic2019, etc. On SOD I have two 50 mages, rank 7, exalted ab wsg, and just a serious let down even attempting to play them in PvP. All that time invested can be undone by the dumbest developers ever. Not excited about phase 4 whatsoever with the let down development here. This is a huge change why just randomly throw it in? You broke multiple classes doing this. You have absolutely no clue how this game works.

this is exactly why they should of handled SoD like ERA classic. If something is broken, leave it. It’s classic, not retail. Everything is suppose to be broken and overpowered and gear should be the determining factor or a win. Some classes are suppose to be #1 dps (warrior and rogue) in pve. There’s suppose to be harsh QoL. its classic.
SoD is retail. everyone needs to understand this and let it go. Stop complaining though, you’re just stressin yourself out for no reason. If you complain there is a 100% solution, play a different class, get better at yours or play a different game.

You all know that this is seasonal right? All of us are the test subjects of possible things to come in future editions. Crying about this or that is not gonna help. The devs are still trying to fix bugs from last year when it was rolled out. Something had to be done about the overall damage- Whoever got the first shot in usually won. Being 1-2 shotted is not playing. Now you have to actually think about your spells and mana more. If you can’t kills something then cc it. Get friends to help you. Play smarter not harder- you are a mage after all. Your previous experience in other games as a mage are void. This is SOD not them. if you are not having fun then take the train and go to pve server. Stop crying about the sky falling waaaaaahhhhh.
Lol dude’s getting emo over a four day PVP test.
Can you imagine these people are like 30+ years old irl?

I think the pvp event was the final straw for mages though - they’ve been hobbling.
Yes, gnomer we were best caster and the best for a bit but best damage also masked a ton of QoL issues such as having to spend min 2min between trash pulls to drink.
But this phase - our new set is the same damage as gnomer but with more health basically. They locked a BiS dagger behind a horrid dungeon grind. We are the only caster who were not given any QoL for out of combat mana regen…and I could go on.
Is the class bad? No - not at all. It just feels like a lot of effort for marginal gain this phase though. Probably just a caster thing in general.
Anyway - I’ve been waiting for mages to start raging. Surprised they’ve been quiet this long when historically, our tears blot out the sun (hello rune of hell in retail)

I have seen some interesting ways to deal an existential crisis but this one is amusing.

Damn, you’re not able to kill someone in 2 shots so you’re quitting?
It’s not like that. Mage has always been a class with a lot of tools, but the most important tool the class has is how efficient the mana bar is. It feels absolutely terrible to play the class right now. Water regen should be a lot (when an item like jungle durian improves the class QOL so much it’s evident (but it’s like 20g a stack o n my server). It take so much resource to do anything, right now the class is best played as chrono heal + counter spell + poly + nova. Really takes away from the core feeling of playing the class. This is coming from 99+ parsing in classic2019, full naxx clears, rank 13 chars on both alliance and horde. Just really feels terrible to even try anything right now
Mages should never have had the damage they had. It’s normal now. You just got used to cheesy mode and now can’t play in a normal setting where healers can actually heal and win 2 v 1 and even 3 v 2 sometimes.
You know this was just a test right?
They will adjust it on Tuesday most likely.
What do you mean? The squishiest class in the game should do damage. Mages were never a problem for most players, there are far worse offenders like hunters, boomkin, shadow priest, enhancement shamans, paladins, etc.
Best thing mage could do before the changes were to max range and wear people down, and then heal themselves while staying away. Now you can’t wear people down, you go oom, and running away and healing (or healing something that can actually kill stuff without becoming useless 15 seconds later) is the ONLY thing I can do. And I STILL go oom from it
mages were never even a problem lol are you for real? can tell you don’t play mage in SoD
Literally so many of them it’s honestly sad
Just quit the game all together!
Instead of fixing Shamans dps, everyones dos got nerfed while healing stays at 100%!
I myself has lost hope with this game, wish I knew this sooner and not wasted time and money!
Sure is difficult to read passed the first sentence in a paragraph, but here … I’ll help you narrow it down.
4 days of testing something new for pvp.
The horror. Guess it’s time to unsub.
