WTF was that nerf on mages?

The post literally says tuning? In between seasons is when you tune stuff and try to get DPS in the same ballpark.

The Warlock/Hunter meta was fun for one season, but it certainly wasn’t just the high end players, It was the majority of the playerbase blowing up the entire levels.

I for one would like to start in a somewhat level spot before things get wonky. I dont even mind the wild DPS swings, if we get shorter seasons with tuning going into the next.
