Are you supposed to be on the eu forums?
It’s always the level 10 alts… If fire gets a hard nerf like you want, there better be some serious frost buffs.
Even if fire is smashed in to the dirt, you’ll still have arcane to deal with. People will just swap covenants and farm bis legendaries for it and 1 shot you from stealth with mass invis.

Mages need to go back to being a control based caster instead of the meme pop combustion and spam 15-20k dps for 8 seconds

Nah sorry, you just don’t understand the complexities of mage/rogue gameplay. The execution and mathematical understanding required to play mage/rogue is beyond the mind of the average person, only with an IQ above 140 can you truly stand a chance at playing this composition above 1400.

Control based caster became a meme when every melee gained 300 gap closers infinite uptime, self heals and the ability to 4 shot you
Control based caster became a meme when every other wizard got huge bursts and multiple instant CC
Expecting mage to go back to 1 blink, no stuns, 1 shield and hit you like frost mage is hilariously biased at best.
Your welcome to go hit up some classic PVP i guess though.
Mage is perfect where its at right now. Right up there with every other class/spec in the game barring the outlier demo/fury/outlaw nobody wants us club
Shadowlands is best expansion ever, everyone gets to W key at someone and spam swifty macro 1 shots.
seems to me that suddenly people playing apemode classes dont like other classes able to apemode them back. Boohoo ENJOY SHADOWLANDS

When has mage ever been anything but A-S tier? Much less a meme.

Because mage when its not strong damage wise is S-tier because of how it interacts with other specs?
Was the frost mage the omega carry in MLX? Or was he just a tool in backpocket for warlock to dampen you to death and then kill you?
Its actually quite rare to have patches like this where a mage spec is capable of being the MVP and dropping bodies and not the dampen tool or CC bot to enable another FOTM to claim quick and decisive wins.
Quite the difference indeed!
In summary mage is S tier because
- The mage of w.e spec is good for once and able to kill something
- Often the normal- mage is a dampen or polymorph spam bot for a particularly strong FOTM class. This usually involves a warlock, rogue, warrior, feral, boomy or even ele proceeding to rip you apart while the mage polymorph spams your healer.
- Mage is strong in patch, pairs with fellow strong fotm- collects points and tears entire season.
Once nerfs hit this season warlocks will crawl out from under their mushrooms and whistle.
Once this happens frost mages will heed their masters call and que 3s with them.
You will then be dragged to the deepest most maddening depths of dampening reaching 40-60% threshold while the warlock takes his time taking apart your sanity before collecting your rating.
This is what will soon come to pass. Enjoy SL and 1 shot meta while you can
So I guess you can say mages will spec frost and transtion to control based casters later this season/expansion!
They just aren’t right now
You know you could have leveled up a fire mage in a fraction of the time it’s taking you to do your complaining world tour.
My fire mage is 60 and I’m gearing up
Maybe I’ll have the honor to combust you some day
plz dont nerf mage, i gave up on my affli trash and switched to fire mage, having so much fun blink sheeping healer, pop combust and killing someone within 2-3 GCD.

The biggest issue is they guarantee one shot out of stealth when time it together. Before your finger can even twitch. A good fix would be to not let mages invis anymore.

You just described arena gameplay over the last decade.
the no stuns part, when was deep freeze introduced?
A very wise observation. I’m also waiting and banking frost gear in anticipation of this.
At least games are fast now. Wait till they get a load of 60-70% perma slows and constant roots. 
Ooouuuuuuuuu you got em!
