Quick Thinking Mage Azerite

Nerfed to 1204 heal on 400 ilvl. So, that means 602 heal for PvP.

I am curious why though, I don’t play arenas, but it was a nice heal to have while solo playing - even old raids. is 602 heal even worth it? Every global of 1.5 sec to heal for 602… haha.

No notes about it.

Doubt this actually happened tbh. But if it did all I can say is good.

It did happen. Why do you think this is a good change?

I guess they really want the blink heal as the staple mage heal, which further pegs specs into shimmer.

Ooof. No bueno. 600 heal sucks.

my 400chest says 6k heal and 370 helm says 4.5k heal. 50% in pvp. i just did a bg. crits me for around 11k with only 2 traits.

Exactly what I thought lol. Thanks for confirming nothing has changed.

What? Does it only affect mages then? Here is an uploaded image:

Not pissed, just surprised that no notes appeared about it. Communication on these sort of things tend to go missed too often, it seems.

The mage forums confirmed, and apparently it is the following:

ilvl 405
arcane: 6,320
fire: 1,264
frost: 1,896

thanks to @Hasylla.

Works to 80% nerf for fire, 70% nerf to frost. I imagine it is because of the instant casts that the fire and frost specs can pump out, but it is odd they would leave arcane untouched. Arcane can still use plenty of instants through nether tempest and arcane explosion.

Curious to know if some of the other caster specs are similar, whereas one spec has reduced effectiveness with the quick talent tree.

Sounds like a serious oversight. Hopefully they nerf it for Arcane too ASAP.

just watch vultz q arcane 2s

it’s nuts 11k-14k heal crits on every instant

I wouldn’t put it past them. Then again, this game gets PvP hotfixes once a blue moon.

Blink heal needs to go. Maybe they can bring back cold snap heal for frost, and a gimped version of evocation heal.

then maybe they can give us all jetpacks and wall run

Those were ok, but I’d just rather combat go back to being how it used to be (i.e. not broken and buggy) and mage food health ticks reverted (they changed it so healers couldn’t get mana ticks immediately from Mage food). That way Mages could “heal” in a healthy balanced way like they used to. Sheep your target, eat, and completely reset the fight. mages passively healing while spamming instants/blink is disgusting. Yes same goes for a lot of other specs I know. They all need fixed.

Why does every single class/spec have a defensive row of traits anyway?

who knows, theyre awful. especially with them being passive

passive anything is awful

I just remember dueling good frost mages who could kill you in a deep and could die themselves in 1 stun. If you both lived through the burst and they could get a sheep off on you they’d reset the fight for round 2. If you had a pet it was even harder for them and they had to save nova for it but could still pull it off and eat up. Depending on if you used too many cd’s in round 1 will dictate whether you can live through their second burst.

it’s been a while but basically that’s how I remember it and I remember slaughtering bad alt mages and getting slayed by ones that played the class for years. Would be nice to go back to something like that again.

i miss being able to kill stuff as well exalter

Remember playing against good Hunters and bad Hunters? The difference was insane, bad Hunters would just die instantly.
