Oh how I miss old spells...

[Bemlikanz]

Hey bros...
I was watching my old videos of cata and I was having some fun watching some old spells on... So, post some old-mage spells that you miss!!

I miss fire orb so much... Even playing as arcane, and that frozen orb was just a talent in frost tier.
I miss focus magic... I..I..I dont have words to say how amazing it was... I remember when I was doing Dragon Soul and there was another mage on my team and we focus magic each other and it was so amazing!!

I miss getting DI from a warlock. No. I'm kidding, I hated being balanced around single skills from other players, that usually werent even given to me, I also hated one mage per one fire mage having to play arcane for FM.

Blastwave, mana shield, those you mentioned were also quite fun.
A lot of things really but would throw me into a rant Dont like the direction the game has been going for a while now but its silly to complain.

blastwave : /

Fuck focus magic fuck dark intent. All they did was cause arguments from greedy players and scumbag dps.

OT I miss spammable flamestrike.

[Kraenen]

i miss eyes of the beast!

Blastwave and the old Blizzard with the extremely slow on it I remember farming Scarlet monastery and the pirates in tanaris on packs of 10-15 which was awesome back then...

[Terahertz]

Blastwave had to be one of the most entertaining abilities mages had. I also liked old combustions better. Besides that I miss Icy Veins for fire mages

I still don't undestand why they got rid of blastwave.

Although I like the cata version of blastwave better, i still kinda miss the old BC version.

- Blast Wave (when it knocked back)
- Instant Flamestrike
- Focus Magic (gave us SOME level of raid utility)
*- Any time we didn't have L90 talents
- Improved Blink

^^ This, so much this. Those talents alone made me reroll after playing mage since 2005.
Like many others, really miss Blastwave.

5.0 combustion

[mrgreenthump]

Impact stun, Dampen and Amplify magic, Rank 1 Frostbolt, Bomb cleave, Blast wave with knockback, Incanter's Absorbation.

I think that's most of them I miss, but can't remember everything really. Imp. blink was something nice, but I'd rather have blazing speed as baseline or something, its kinda fun spell to have, but mostly its just annoying cause on some encounters its good and you get used to it, and then on some encounter something else is way better and you switch and then boom dead, cause no speed ^^

And in some weird way, I miss the old wards and even mana shield, I know mana shield was kinda meh for a while, but it was still THE shield we had for a long time.

Spreading combust to millions of adds in firelands

two words: detect magic - back in vanilla days, you couldnt see what buffs enemy players had on.

Thats more than 2 words...

Anyway for me its Blastwave too, its just a easy and quick AoE and i felt it was the fiery lil bro from Forst nova.
