Oh, interesting. I’m curious to see if we get PvP tuning notes this evening.
I think that it’s possible to get them into a reasonable spot, but I think they’ll sadly always suffer from low mmr perception issue things where they’re bullied for “no damage”.
It’ll just be a mandatory or high priority spec at upper tiers of play and bad at low tiers, which…is tragic for people who enjoy the buffer/empowerment/bard fantasy, I think. 
So does this “damage of all abilities reduced by 5%” affect fire spec in pvp also? Or is this just a pve nerf?
Wait til they look at guardian druids.
I have a really good player I play with and I kept making fun of him for out dpsing him as a healer last night. The logs did show him as #1 though.
Aug does need nerfs but to its utility, its doing a bit too much there. Second, come over here and make me uninstall.
If it’s good enough for warlocks, it’s good enough for mages…
Seriously though, this is why PI is cancerous to fun in the game, and why the decision to block augmentation evoker contribution damage being reflected ingame in damage meters was a terrible, tone deaf decision.
Just remove PI or make it a self only buff. You are continually nerfing classes around PI and it’s a joke.
Is this for PVP or PVE?
It’s for PvE which also carries over into PvP unless otherwise noted.
These single digit tuning passes are frankly doing more bad than good. If you overshot the mark by a few percentage points just leave it. It’s not going to break anything, I promise. But these buffs followed by immediate nerfs are a bad look. Makes it seem like you didn’t do enough testing in the first place and brings out the “fun detected” comments.
P.S. Maybe look into the absolute mess that are Time Rifts atm before doing stuff like this? Again it’s a really bad look.
Welcome to the wow player base.
and Here I thought things were just getting good 
SORRY WHAT?!? mage is getting nerfed after two days? Was mage even an issue? but the real problem classes Holy Paladin and Augment are untouched. What is going on???
Are these changes for PvP as well? If so, the Subzero nerf is not warranted.
I genuinely don’t understand how they arrived at this decision so quickly. It’s Friday, most people haven’t even done the raid yet this week. What data are they looking at? I know it’s not the data from the Time Rifts, ROFLMAO!
Mages are still going to do insane damage even without externals, ya’ll are dooming for nothing.
They took mage from OP to S tier.
Personally, I couldn’t care less about the damage. My issue is with how they decided to do this in 2 days time? I also take issue with this being a priority over the Time Rifts which are literally unplayable and one of the lowest points of WoW, ever. Like, literally nothing else should be worked on until those are fixed.
Not nothing, but yeah I likely agree.
I haven’t touched them, but they sound like more of a train wreck than fun right now.
no
uninstall
time and place
Literally like watching a slow moving train wreck because of the truly insane lag.
