SL Arcane Talents

I don’t know why, but the change to AP CD to 3mins just made overpowered kinda super crappy. So now if we don’t choose that, we loose our hard hitting talent, and just to even out? Like did blizzard not pay attention to how Arcane mages were treated by the WoW community in BFA even with AP CD at 1.5min… Getting kicked just for being arcane, now I just don’t see how these are improvements.

I’m going to be mad if they nerf our “mastery” because all spells are baselined off it now. Blizzards reasoning? “oops, made arcane slightly competitive, time to roll that back. lols.” I can see it happening.
Like so if we choose not, to go OP and go into the other two? How can you play more off the mastery? By going into NT and time anamoly to make up for the AP nerf?? ugh, blizzard why you do this.

also, screw the new enlightening talent. I guess that would make sense if you spec into OP, but not happening with AP being 3mins.

Arcane mages have been screaming to make Overpowered less effective so they’re not stuck with it. By making it less impacting, it allows for Arcane Orb to be chosen which can help fill in the non-existent cleave arcane sorely lacks.

Enlightened is a Godsend as it addresses another major problem with BfA in that you were forced to sacrifice St or AoE damage for the other.

Arcane mages were blacklisted in BfA because they had no cleave, only theoretical top ST damage, were limited in their mobility, and the aforementioned ST vs AoE dilemma. Anything they could do, a fire mage could do better.

I just want the shoulders so I can double dip on orb and OP

:joy:
