Urgent attention Arcane Mage

Arcane mage can pull 165k dps in arena. It is instant death. Watched it happen numerous times last night at 2k rating. Its two buttons to do this burst nothing more. Not counting your trinket and evocation before you go invisible.

We need to stop this kind of non sense in arena. This is why healers quit the game or just quit healing period.

Im watching 2700+ rated healer players pressing every button they have and cant move the health bar of their team mate in just a few short minutes of the match.

I like they are mixing changes up with PVP, that is refreshing, but I do believe they should actually have an Intern test the game at some point in Wargames.

All testing should be unbiased on class, spec as well. You dont want some R1 streaming all they do is play wow day in day out swaying your judgement either.

The game needs to be tuned for new players, casual players and competetive players.

Anyone stepping in to arena, or solo, is just going to get wrecked almost instantly without ever learning what to do.

A more diverse and larger pool of players is always best. Never make a game around people who are un employed sitting on wow all day min maxing, like their life depends on it.

Make the game fun, interactive and give new or in experienced players atleast time to react to spells and damage.

I try to help people as much as I can with PVP but when they say “What can I do to live 80k dps.” I say nothing. So then they quit being a healer and go back to doing what ever else they did not pvp wise.

Do you have any clips of this? I would be curious to see it.

Look up bakerice, on twitch, he may have clipped it. He didnt have to do anything, the rogue didnt have to hardly do anything, and the Mage who is also 2500cr on solo…was just pressing two buttons, GG was rediculous.

Ktp is the mage who was doing that dps,

Rofl, arcane mages just die when you look at them. I think they should at least have their DMG buffed.

Edit: Further.

Also check top Solo spots i think only one other class is higher than arc mage. But they just die right?

No they dont

Really, just attack them? They drop so quick, they have 0 dmg mitigation. Attack them with whatever. What class do you play?

I just dispel their miserable shield, dot, and DPS, silence, dispel block.

Mage will take full DMG from everything. I just focus mage in Solo, when you see one, which is never.

Edit Just kick/interrupt surge, gg, no DMG, no blink, no CC. Barrage only does DMG when people are low, and they have 10 stacks (10 STACKS!) of Harmony.

You must be new. lol…thats all i can tell you dude, you will die before you can react. 165k dps is no joke.

Mage cannot cast from stealth, any action will cancel it. Just need to pay attention to the surge, that’s it. Start casting surge will cancel invisibility.

I would simply reply to you as you are still in the learning phases of the game. Just because you cant perform at a level as another, does not make it not true. I am telling you what it witnessed, over and over. You can deny facts all you want, it does not make them false. Maybe to much CNN or something.

I remember when I tried killing an arcane mage and he just blinked around like a lightning bolt on crack while his partner parsed on us then when we finally gave up chasing him he turned around and blew us up. Fun times.

Arcane has 1 blink.

lol Hunter can aim from stealth, mage cannot, the mage will appear the moment he starts casting.

Arcane can full burst from stealth actually, I watched an Arcane mage Ring of Frost in stealth which also made the Ring of Frost invisible as well. Then while still in stealth they cast Arcane Blast for about 150k. Yes they can cast while in stealth.

You obviously don’t know about the Mass Invis bug going on lol.

Here I’ll even link you a video on it

Every mage can get this. Only blink frees you from stuns

Mages can indeed cast in mass invis. They can ring of fire or frost into their burst all while stealthed.

Neither of these have anything to do with what I said or what you said. I never said only arcane can blink around like a maniac and I never said shimmer frees you from stuns. That’s completely irrelevant.
