Mages rarely get changes. I think they’re a very simply class to use as a happy medium for middle ground PvP and balancing. Blizzard potentially looks at them as a way to judge what to do with other classes. They are strong, especially if you’re the type that gets mad at particular abilities, resorting to “this is OP” instead of challenging your own gameplay. Especially as MW/WW, so much counter-play. “Best kick in the game”? What do you mean, it’s on a 24 second CD haha. Anything unholyDK or ele means I canNOT I repeat canNOT cast, I have to play incredibly well to get any damage out. “top damage in game” In high rated arena (1800 + say). the mage will always be out dps’d by anything else, especially Destro. They are more about “go’s” and learning to counter those “gos” will leave a mage struggling to breathe. We have great CC sure, however that’s what our gameplay is centred around. Take that and we don’t have very much. You really want to take Mages CC to amen your life easier? Look at your gameplay. I’m sure you can improve somewhere, as can I.

If you can’t beat a mage in damage, then you’re not even worthy of posting. GTFO
WAY TOO MANY OUTS? LOL.

If you as a melee, in this game that HEAVILY FAVOURS MELEE, can’t train any caster into the ground, then quite frankly, you’re so bad.

This game CATERS FOR YOU, and you still can’t win? WOW

Imagine people complaining about sheep when fear does the same thing, doesnt break, and doesnt full heal the target.

fear vs poly is pretty balanced though, fear is 6s instead of 8, breaks slightly later but still low threshold and pathing can either screw up your follow up fear or be a blessing

Yes and no. In the current meta with how strong destro is. Fear into life ending bolts is alot scarier then poly.

One tops you off the other doesn’t.

Yes fear pathing can screw you, but they aren’t getting full healed off it either. I’ll add fear pathing is a boon since you aren’t worried too much about cleave busting it. Poly positioning is critical so you dont break your own polys and waste dr with 1 single point of damage.

and for all those relative downsides, poly lasts a third longer so that’s why I said, imo they’re pretty balanced

Stahp. Let me enjoy someone thinking mages are top damage with best kick.

Make shimmer only usable with arcane spells.

Mages have a spell without a CD called polymorph. This is by far the best cc in the whole game. Back in Legion when I played mage in rated BG I was told to spam poly. Over damage.
Warrior repeatable cc is hamstring. I kind of wish they had a stun that was repeatable. Or charge Juggernaut. Something that makes opponent’s dread the class instead of auto attack damage being high.

new pvp player learns that control > brainless dps pve race

more a 11

new pvper doesnt understand you can kick or stop poly and knowing which ones are important is a baseline entry level skill in player vs player and wants a no counterplay stun with no cd to make up for lack of intelligence

this has been ur daily noob report

Funny you should say that. Are you stating that no DPS with a mage cannot kill someone when their healer is in a full duration poly? Sure you can claim it’s a git gud situation. But if the heals makes a mistake and this occurs, it is very punishing to that team. On top of that, you can have a rogue or rdruid continue the cc with their own ccs.

You are a dk. Not only are you flavor of the month, your toolkit counters mage.

Also, I have never heard a BG leader say spam hamstring over damage.

you are a new player

Based on ilvl and achievements
I think you must be very confused. Please tell Nathanos to fix your undead brain.
