Havoc needs a buff.
This made me stop playing mage, other specs are not fun for me and there is no real reason for 20% of DPS difference between specs of the same class.
Is there any reason why frost mages havent been allowed to be decent for 3 tiers straight?Guess blizzard hates us /shrug
Fire is not broken, its just super easy to gear. Crit, crit and more crit!
Assassination needs love. Send money soon.
first time i pick a pure dps class for expansion and it had to be absolute shait. ( frost mage )
Do you remember when frostmage was top 3 and everyone on wowhead was talking about how the venthyr covenant was the best one and blah blah blah ? Well, suck my frost orbs.
won't happen. this is every bit as bad as the UBERNERF of TBC. we'd get invited to a raid or instance just for mage food then get kicked.
RIP frost mages!
That's a really poor way to look at spec's performance according to the article its the number one performing spec in mythic. However if you go by the fight to fight data its only has parses on Shriekwing which its underperforming on and Huntsman which it was Hotfixed on mid week all other fights there are 0 arcane mage parses on and like you said in theory its our single target spec. Also known as fight to fight data is way more relevant then looking at the entire raid for data use your brain before you start passing out this information because im sure there is other classes and specs with similar data points in this.
What a shock that Assassination Rogue is near or in the cellar. Here's hoping a 5% buff does the trick, though somehow I doubt it.And while my Arogue is feeling depressed, my Arcane Mage will be cringing at the nerfs to come. (@m2geek I'm pretty much enjoying leveling my Arcane Mage, now level 59. As always, good sight line and the ability to engage at maximum range are key, so built up areas are not so much fun.)
Afflic locks representing!
The arcane mage thing is a really sketchy analysis. If you look at the actual logs, arcane mage isn't even represented for most fights. But they destroy on Huntsman, and that's one of two fights they're on*. And, actually, if you look, arcane is pretty mediocre on the other one, which is Shriekwing.And that's not to mention how skewed the sample is right now. The only mages represented are very good ones. We don't have a good picture of how arcane does in the hands of a good but not great player.*But look at that range, whoa. Either there's a neat trick there or there are some cheese parses skewing the data.
