Arcane Mages kicking your butt sounds like a you problem. Have you considered using an Interrupt? They have one school of magic they can cast. If you’re dying to them, it sounds like you need to… as the young folks say… get good.
And which class has no interrupt? Maybe if you have no interrupt try not getting in their face and you can just move out of range when you see that 2 second cast coming.
Doesn’t just attacking them stop the ability to cast blast? Well except for void elf mages. In any case, I really can’t see them being a problem.
I have heard that statement ‘the side that has more ‘x’ is the side that wins’ in relation to so many things already it really just sounds like sour grapes at this point.
Also, I just leveled up a druid they don’t get skull bash until 70 but they get other things earlier.
Nah arcane mages are literal gods at low levels. I made two and it’s just sit there, spam arcane missles and get top damage. If any melee come near you, just ice nova move and arcane them to death.
The lack of cc and mobility really makes them the new op low level spec.
