HAHAHA BLINK INTO AN ENHANCE SHAMAN/ Rogue/ Warbringer warrior TO LIVING FLAME LMAO
Please at least play a mage a single time before you say such ridiculously stupid things.
It also has a movement speed nerf so you can simply walk away from it
You are suggesting mages, the squishiest class in the game, just soak melee damage, LMAO
You also failed to do simple math. 20 sec up time 60 sec CD, 10 sec up time 30 sec cd, it’s the same except you are penalized by having to cast it twice and ANY travel time is doubled.
You stil dont get it. I never said the dmg per tick hasnt changed.
I said if it ticked 100 dmg per sec lets say and the old version is 20 sec.
Travel time is 3 sec. at max range that mean you only get 17 ticks out of the old one = 1700 dmg (as an example)
New Version lasts 10 sec with same travel time 3 sec that means you only get 7 ticks out of it = 700 dmg. But you can cast it twice since cd is shorter that means total dmg is 1400 vs 1700 in old hypothetically.
Please do yourself a favor and subtract 1 gcd worth of damage of another spell from that 1400. Since you’re casting it an extra time, you lose the opportunity cost of another spell.
It’s just honestly hard to care about this thread after seeing all the actual % damage nerfs every other class gets. Like try going from viable to bottom of the charts. Mages are fine.
I know you’ve displayed you don’t understand math at all but assuming you are hit capped (not hard to do atm) you have a 99% chance of this not happening. You are making an argument for 1% of the time. Just pick up a book and stop playing so many video games if you cant figure out very basic math.
So your entire argument is that it can be avoided? So now that its half the duration and significantly slower what do you think will happen far more often? ITS GOING TO BE AVOIDED DURRRRRRRRRRRR
They only difference is they no longer need to trade a 5 min cd to do so
Hey goofball, you wait till they use a gap closer on you, nova and living flame. And I do play a mage bud. Not gonna boast about all my titles but your over reacting big time. You can easily press living flame in melee range after a nova . Just get better and work on your positioning
