Needs changed or replaced, no reason a passive ability should counter 2 (maybe 3) entire specs

I agree, delete relentless, orc, and sephuz.

What it should be is an actual Aura, so they can’t benefit from both it and Concentration.
But if it’s going to exist, we need to re-implement various similar spells for other classes. Priests should get Shadow Resistance buff back, Druids should get Mark of the Wild back, etc.
druids have mark of the wild.
Blizzard wants all healers to be paladins for the moment

yeah man that 15% reduction on fire, frost, and nature DoTs and AoE is so oppressive. How will the Mages ever recover from having ignite (doing like 10% of their damage a match) do 15% less. It is a travesty, please remove MotW so Mages are valid again!
-checks every tournament for the last 6 months- Oh, a Fire Mage won every single one. Maybe MotW isn’t an issue for Mages?

hey tardbucket. I said they have mark of the wild, I didn’t complain about it.

he said they need to get it back, and I just so happened to point out that they do in fact have the ability.

You’re equating something that cancels exactly 0 classes out and basically just provides purge protection to a PASSIVE 15% DR for an entire team versus all Affliction Lock damage and most Shadow damage. It’s like equating Polymorph and Frost Trap. One MIGHT be a little better and not worth bringing up in an argument about the other.
edit: so that druid is actually just a tar head
druids have mark of the wild
yeah man that 15% damage reduction fire frost and nature really counters priest huh.
-checks tournament and every team with a priest lost.
Why is that mark of the wild even a PvP talent?
All the real dot classes are shadow damage.

They gave it to us at the same time they gave Hpals ShadowRes aura. It’s only valid versus Ele/Moonkin damage and even then you make 20ish% of their damage do 15% less.
It wouldn’t be nearly as bad if it just flat decreased all Fire/Frost/Nature damage like ShadowRes. It’d be an actual counter to Fire Mage, which would immediately lead to massive amounts tears from all Mages.

Don’t forget inner fire!!
I would use the talent if it did that. Mage shouldn’t cry very much.
Prismatic barrier does the same thing for all schools of magic, and they can just steal this from you anyway.
Would be quite nice but we’ll never get it sadly.
Forgive me if I forgot Mark of the Wild existed, considering it’s a PvP talent for resto exclusively (which itself barely exists), and reduces DoT damage for schools that have mostly irrelevant DoTs.
Agreed. And make it a talent for all druids, not just resto, thanks!
I actually don’t think non-brainless mages would complain, considering they’d just klepto it off and buff themselves even more. lmao
But I do think we need more and more utility in the game in general, not less. That utility just needs to stop being stapled on to other things, like how Shadow Resist Aura is just baked into all auras with the talent, rather than being its own aura (making them switch in and out as necessary).

It’s being its own aura would be nice. It would also be nice if it was a buff that they applied similar to old KIngs/Might that could be purged off. I wouldn’t mind it as much if it was also an aura wide buff that lasted say 10 seconds and was reapplied via casting Holy Light. Basically anything other than this passive “me get talent me take less damage because me remember to turn aura on.”
Sorry you meant a fire mage was in every single team every game?
