The state of the Arcane mage seems to be... super bad

[Frost1129]

it's about a 1% single target buff after you take into account the OP and AMP nerfs.

All 3 specs seem very lackluster, even fire which is top of the pack right now of the 3 specs. In the grand schemes of all dps classes, fire, and mage in general, is low on the totem poll.

Mages in general are terrible right now, but I'm sure there will be people saying that we are only low because blizzard loves mages and they want to buff us later.

I love the designer notes, "Arcane has been doing well in 7.1.5". It's the 3rd worst spec in Nighthold overall, fucks sake Blizzard, are you really this clueless?

[sjuk]

Yeah lol.

I think they're afraid of our setpieces+legendaries being "op".

That nerf to op tho..

Kinda wish they replace arcane explosion while we're at it, have to be in melee to cleave/aoe. Kinda disturbing with some mechanics..

Hey, I think you're the clueless one: I totally own the DPS meter in time walking dungeons!

With the destruction, feral, and hunter buffs. Arcane and Frost might actually be tied for the worst specs in NH.

Yeah I'm really sick of this shit. I didn't switch before because fire was at least middle of the pack through en. Now it's just swimming at the bottom. Leveling my priest now. Good thing for AK catch up boa.
