Here you go again shouting dumbassery in to the wind. Mage has ZERO BASE SELF-HEALING, you have no idea what you’re talking about!
Absorbs count as healing on damage meters but they aren’t actually healing, Temporal Shield is both a talent and it can be purged, it’s also one of the few buffs in the game that are applied through an ability but cannot be removed by the player themselves, Cauterize places the Mage at 35% health but BURNS AWAY their health down to 7%, no other cheat death ability in this game has an inbuilt drawback but Cauterize while remaining at a 5 min debuff is of course the exception because people like you complain every single day about Mages like they’re at DH levels of broken and Blizzard for some reason listens to your side.
