Well, missing mages and warrior nerfs IMO, they are quite over the top right now.

Still, pretty well guided changes, hope they will take another go later.

Thunder Cleave sounds like it will be a lot more fun.

Those are mostly buffs, only Maelstrom was nerfed a little bit.

Warlock 4piece bonus gives destro wl some options now. Not too bad.

There are no such thing as mage nerfs.

Mages over the top? Try playing one right now and dealing with ferals/rogues/enhances (or really any melee for that matter), let me know how it goes, pal.

RMD is hard, I hard... Indeed, the second most represented DPS on higher ratings! Definitely needs buffs, pal!

He didn't say Frost needed buffs, but he's right. Frost isn't as easy to play well as a lot of people think. It's a lot of trying to fake cast and dealing with melee. It's often pretty miserable lol

Huh? Did i miss something the last 12 months? Mage (Frost) IS easy compared to any other caster in the game. Mage has the most tools vs melee and is therfor the easiest and best specc/class to play. Hows mage not easy currently? Then try playing another caster vs melee, tell me how it went, pal. compared to Mage.

I play Frost/Arcane, Shadow, Ele, and Affliction/Destro. Mage is hands down the biggest pain in the ass, neither of those other casters have nearly as much as responsibility as Frost because of the tools you mentioned. Wanna get off a Poly/ring with a Warrior/DK on you and the healer's a druid? Have fun with that, and if you don't get them off you don't win. As other casters you have less CC that you're responsible for and more mobile DPS, so you being trained isn't nearly as bad.

your acting like you're the only one on a team, call for partners to stun when you go for sheeps, its not hard. Mages are way over the top atm, and need to actually start casting their damage again.

Interrupt on frost -> cast polly
Interrupt on arcane -> cast blazing speed

Yep, a lot of fake casting envolved...
