Does this only apply to player targets?

Of course. Edited.

Does this mean getting 4 Pyro's back to back in PvP is "dumb" too? What value isn't "dumb"?

Simple fix, remove shatter from fire mages. No bullshit 100% crit chance.

100% crit chance requires the player to have 25% crit chance. Roll with a Paladin and the Mage will never crit. No bullshit. Problem solved.

No, it was a good change, you gotta know when to channel it than mindlessly macro into one button.

No, you just have unequip everything with a proc before channelling Evo pre-pull, hardly requires any rocket science.
But no matter, I leave you to enjoy your shallow victory since mages can still destintegrate your sneaky hide with great balls of fire mwhaha.

Going by the forums a mage being able to kill anything is "dumb" they should be free kills for anybody who happen to come across them, and drop a extra present for melee classes.

Nice to see it cancelled, was already going to reroll or unsub because of this.

Just remove deep freeze from fire mages. Voila, fire mages are fixed.

I've been posting this on all the discussions on live forums which even had blues in them but apparently blizz find it too hard to think of such easy fixes.

Putting a diminishing return on Pyroblast was always the best option. It came to mind about 1 second after my friend told me about the 3 sec CD on Pyroblast. I have no idea how the 3 sec CD idea didn't get the dev who suggested it beaten up, much less implemented and put into live use on the PTR.

That doesn't even make sense..

Maybe put POM on a shared cooldown sort of thing with Alter Time like they do with engi gloves and On use trinkets.

This will reduce burst and not make POM so mandatory for raiding. Yay!

speaking as a mage myself, they could just change POM. "After activated, the next Mage spell that has a shorter base cast time of 3 seconds will be instant cast". Solves the PoM pyro problem because pyro is longer than 3 seconds as a base cast time

PoM is a powerful tool for PvE mage combustion.

that's why I said it. if pom is one of the issues with our burst, that seems like the easiest thing to nerf our burst

People are looking for a solution that fixes it in PvP without also lowering PvE damage.

[Spectral]

they actually listen to mages when they complain about nerfs because GC's main is a mage.

Do people actually believe shit like this?

Why do Fire Mages need to be "fixed"?

Well I have to admit that if you are lucky enough, the dps you can do with alter time + pom+ heating up+ hotstreak is pretty hilarious. But does it make it op, prolly not
