Sorry to say but I stop playing fire mage because it became an insatiable submachine gun of instants, personally I think that Pyroblast lacks impact since you shoot it all the time, that having 6 charges of instants with guaranteed crit is too much, and so on. I'm grateful that they decided to take a few steps back.
@ Sure, but it's not what the mage was, and I don't think it's what it should be, if any class was to be like a middle ground between caster and melee it probably should have been the Evoker, the short range dragon class, at least at fantasy level :P
@ They can't because it's something you cast too constantly to make its damage significant. Do you want it to hit hard? Its rotation frequency must be reduced
Barriere, Mass Barriere, Mirror Images, Ice Cold / Ice Block, Greater Invis, Alter Time, Cheat Death -> probably in the top 3 of most tankiest classes when you know when the dmg is incoming - even when you dont, you are mostly fine
All they had to do with fire was buff hard cast damage, add a little more viability to a hard cast build, don’t nerf a whole playstyle that some people love. Mage has been my main since 2004. Blizz seems to have trouble balancing. They could adjust talent trees to just add more viability to a different playstyle.
i love mage so much! best class! it feels so good and fast pace when ever i wanna take a break and shut off my brain i play BM haha i love bm also i am a fan of slower fire mage
@ i would agree if Blizz wouldn't kick fire like a dog sometimes :) with fire is so hard for blizz to figure out what to do, buff -> OP, nerf -> Trash, where with frost it seems to be very stable, arcane had 5 mins during rework but similar to fire it was nerfed dramatically, when other classes are very popular *cough* ret pala, beast hunter*cough* Blizz is okay with it but when mage is popular - nerfs are matter of hours.
... Nerfed? I was expecting a giant, ridiculous BUFF to fire mage. I even found this video by googling "How will Blizzard buff fire mage in 11.1?" Nerf? Are you serious? It's the worst caster in the game.
*cries in arcane* blizzard killed my spec a while back after it was super strong at the start of TWW, and now we're just a wet noodle caster. it's sad. the frost favoritism is obvious lol. ridiculous.
Bro, a class, so op in PVP like Shaman, Hunter, Druid, and Mage getting buff and the rest kida nerf ? They may have needed rework, but no more buff please, it makes the competitive games kinda one sided. 😅
That shaman in the background cooking 3:10
Imho shamans are OP now xD I have shaman alt and it pumps better dps than my main.
Blizzard broke Mage? It must be a Tuesday.

It’s the reason I picked up fire mage this past patch, It transitions well from playing melee

Pyro hits like dogwater they should just buff it

I really miss the build where Flame Patch proced Living Bomb and Living Bomb didn't suck... 🔥
Traditionally fire mages are the glass cannons of the game and anything going away from that is fail .-spitlana 🐐

@@davidw.5984 They're the squishiest class in the game right now.
None of what you listed changes that.

Dont forget just how much they nerfed it at the start of season 1. Now they are nerfing it again and for what?
Another class blizzard spent the entire beta fixing gets more dev time.

whoopty doo, whats this? Blizzards 400th mega revamp buff for the only class they pay attention to? MAGE WOWOWOW
Its soo fcking obvious which mage spec is Blizz fav kid, Frost is already superior to other 2 specs ( all data show that ) yet gets buffed? WTF
Who cares, just play or unsub
Have you seen the 11.1 Fire tier bonus? Take a look and tell me about "favorites"
Wow players try not to complain about everything challenge (impossible)

They took away some instant casts and added damage.
