Last time I checked class forums weren't restricted to an individuals class so they can do exactly that, if you really think changing a sub-forum on this website is going to stop people from posting things like "mages are fine" then you have another thing coming buddy.  I understand I might of posted this on the wrong sub-forum but shouldn't we leave that correction up to the moderation or did it really bother you that much.

The difference is that nobody outside of the 5 mage crew you've got running from thread to thread really wants to read about how upset mages are about the changes.  This garbage belongs in the mage sub forum.

I mean I don't really need to say anything else, you guys are calling me a retard because I am of the opinion that mages are fine and will be perfectly fine even after these changes.  Nobody is going to be upset to see you stop posting crying about how underpowered mages are when in reality they're actually pretty strong.

I shortly came back but will either be leaving agian or rerolling. Besides the fact that i cant do shit in an arena becuase im so outgeared, mage is no longer fun to play. Running around instant casting NT and ice lace along waiting for instant cast FFB procs while having 0% reason to hardcast anything is boring. Frost died when frostbolt stopped being our main nuke.

5 mage crew running from thread to thread? You realize how ridiculous you sound right? Nobody has a 5 mage crew and no one is out to get you.  It's unfortunate that you've been harassed to the point that you consider my insight to be garbage and I want to apologize for whatever I've done to make you feel this way. To clarify my post was never about mages being underpowered but about nether tempest becoming the only viable spec after 5.2 and to explain to the community why that is a bad thing.  Abilities like nether tempest are inherently detrimental to the game, instant cast dots that provide more instant cast procs?  How is that healthy for the arena scene?  I'm promoting a spec that requires casting, if anything I would expect your support.

the only comp that mage will be able to play will be rmp cuz of rogue stuns, cuz if this shit comes live then 99% of mages comps will die.

mage shadowpriest pala will work, but replacing the mage for an ele shaman will make it a far better comp, cant see mages playing rmp really since if the priest specs shadow and they get a resto shaman or druid healer the comp is 1000x better just from that

Just because a mod can move the thread, doesn't excuse you from not reading the labeled sub forums. People on this site are so damn bad about posting in the right section. It's actually unbelievable.

You shouldn't cast stones from a glass house.  My warlock is a solid 3 months behind in gear, and I'm playing with random people or alts in contender's gear for point cap every week.

Basically there's a few people real mad at me for posting in 2 different threads that mages are fine.  You can't really call me paranoid because it only takes 2 seconds to see the same like 5 people crying and calling me retarded.  What exactly did I say that's so inflammatory?  Mages are fine?

its ok to throw stones from glass houses

[Protosnake]

Changes are good but I'm still a bit worried about mage/lock losing their silence while every healers but Disc can spam Instant non-stop

[Hyrmine]

I think even if the season would start with Mages being bad Blizzard would buff them during the season. Just don't think they could be bad a whole season.

I've seen a few people in this thread talking about how Ele Shamans are gonna be good next patch... How so?  I don't understand what's changing to make them good.  They seem to just die atm...

I'm not necessarily disagreeing, I just haven't seen anything that suggests they'll be good.  Are people trolling about Ele?

Oh.  They're getting Shamanistic Rage, huh?  Hmm... that's a pretty nice buff.

A class causing problems to your comp/class does not necessarily deserve losing their core abilities.
This mentality brought the dispel system change, cyclone dr, mana burn removal, blanket counterspell change. All reliable healers gaining freedom and melee classes getting additional stuns, snare breaks , the mage class needed blanket cs more than ever but it's getting removed.

I would like to see how people in this thread would feel if stuff like the following happened:
-Holy paladin instants are too strong, so were removed freedom.
-Warriors can stack offensive cooldowns, so we removed charge stun.
-Blood fear was too strong, so we removed your healthstone.

Mages will not be ok next patch, they will be borderline bad and this will hurt the caster comps that require the melee prevention tools of the mage. We'll see how people like the game when it's kfc/melee cleave 30 games in a row, tunneling healers until crits / stuns are aligned.

The problem is that they won't hotfix imp CS back in, all they can really do is tweak numbers.  A Mage without imp CS plainly lacks a full toolkit, and buffing us to do stupid damage again won't make us any less incomplete.

There's just no defensible reason to get rid of it in the first place.

That's all it is right now. I love how people are calling S12 a wizard season, when in reality I maybe see 1 wiz cleave every 15 or so games and they're always 1850-2000. Every other game is KFC or kitty cleave slapping their cocks on the keyboard till they find their one swifty macros and target the healer.
