Where are the mage nerfs?

PVP Arenas

Are we ever going to see nerfs to these grossly broken demi gods?

best cc in the game
best kick in the game
top damage in the game
shimmer
way too many outs
I rather face double destro or double unh dk every game than face one mage team on any of my healers.

Same place where vendors are. A magical land where nothing comes to fruition.

Like just put a cast time on poly. Like add .3 sec to it. Or put a cd on it. Or don’t let people shimmer it.

I switched from holy paladin to resto druid. Being able to avoid polys alone is worth it.

Bet you not bring punished for bad play is a deciding factor also.

Ya, it’s great not having the game decided on whether or not one ability crits. Druid so nice :slight_smile:

I havent played anything except hpal in arena before. Shamans do seem to get destroyed while they chase me around purging.

Personally… i feel like mages do really well into melee and are average to bad into other casters(lock/ele/spriest/boomkin). Am i wrong?

edit: dont get me wrong gpyro hard carries but i feel like most casters have answers for them.

I’m honestly fine with gpy. It’s easily kickable. But Polymorph is the issue. Sitting in pollies all game is not fun at all. You can’t LOS them now due to shimmer so it’s even more frustrating. Dodging those and 8 second kicks is too much.

8 second kick? when did we get the upgrade?

Remove shimmer. Make deep baseline

Mage cleaves traditionally have some trouble with other caster cleaves, especially with destro. But then RMX can annihilate some wizard cleaves with ease.

Deep being back would be fun but a huge problem would also be mage lacking shattered damage any more. Deep going was a problem but imo so was frost mastery being shifted to icicles. Makes the playstyle boring. Also shimmer is far stronger than deep ever was at boosting survivability and CC.

Actually takes a bit of skill to play a mage. Isn’t just as simple as “lol shimmer” against anyone with a brain. There’s just a huge gap between average and good mages.

Don’t act like they’re the only class in the game with a ranged kick.
