    Yep we scale well just like any other class.

    Fire
    Allowing fire and only fire to spread its dots to say more than 3 targets including living bomb. If locks can take their whole dot set and move it to a pack fire should be allowed to do the same. Its fire for gods sake, it spreads! This should fix fires AoE problems. Possibly reverting the Pyro nerf and buffing combution could fix single target issues. RNG of fire will not be addressed this expansion.

    Arcane
    Demage modifier to the spells I suppose. The whole play style needs a revamp, not this expansion.
    Completly agree, especially with fire point. Fire need an AOE buff. Also i don't get why [Flamestrike] have a 2.0 casting time.

    Because not all specs take Mastery as a stat, and as such it would not buff the class equally. Buffing Mastery would leave Haste Arcane and Crit Fire where they are, and it would only affect Mastery Arcane and Frost PvP, making all the Mages flock to Arcane again.

    GC said they wanted to keep the parity between the specs.

    Any buff in any spec is welcome. Don't need to be OP, just competitive.

    Wierd, I saw Zomgdps talking to a different Logix last week on these forums. Something seems a bit fishy...

    Just pointing out that less then a week ago the almighty wizard of oz also said that mage dps would be fine..../we all know how that worked out

    I think they wont buff Invocation because Frost (pve/pvp) is quite fine atm. 10% more Dmg by Invocation could be a little too much.

    I could imagine:

    -Arcane Blast mana costs back to 1.5 (from 1,66)
    -Arcane Blast/AM dmg increased 10%
    -Pyro 10% nerf reverted
    -Fireball dmg 10% increased
    -Frostfirebolt dmg 5% increased

    I'm guessing something lazy along the lines of XXX Armour also increase damage done by 5/8/10%.

    Just give me scorch back for arcane, undo the fire nerfs and give FFB a small dps increase...

    My bet is on flat percentages in the categories of the previous alterations. They will not stray into mechanics territory, and will want to change spell dmg % or coeffecients on spells that will have the smallest impact on pvp.

    I wasn't claiming that GC was infallible.

    ...
    Oh please, crusade back to your paladin forums. Can you tell me one other class that has had all of their specs being the worst in tanking, dpsing or healing?

    OT: Will be interesting to see what Blizzard decides to buff not to have mages become even better in PvP.

    No fire spells for Arcane, Mages already have too many off-spec spells as it is.
    Rather add a copy of scorch as Arcane Bolt with different graphics that is in the Arcane damage school.

    Also all Arcane spells need their 22% nerf reverted. And every stack of Arcane charge should add 2 targets to Arcane Barrage, so that it hits 9 at full stacks.
    Arcane AOE was already weak with 7 targets at 6 stacks, the 4 stack system indirectly nerfed that down to 5 targets.

    "We think all 3 are low compared to say lock and hunter."


    Please let us do Lock damage. That would be amazing. They'd have to buff our AOE too though. AE spam on Ball Lightning on Lei Shen wasn't getting it done, and that was with the 15 yard glyph hitting everything.

    Very possible. Note that my name is LogixTN on the forums

    Calling it now: 3% or so buff to Abarr and a scaling modifier to Fireball.
