So yeah, I want Arcane (and Frost) to have no DoTs, but a complete overhaul for Arcane is in order.
(Frost I'm actually okay with assuming they remove the DoT, remove L90 talents, and make it actually competitive against Fire/Arcane)
I, personally, am always snippy because of how much Blizzard has fucked us, and ignorant people who either blindly defend their choices (Really tempted to use the "L-Word" right now...), call us OP purely because of DPS/Simmed DPS, or think our class design is fine just piss me off.
Trust me, I wasn't like this during BC-Cataclysm. (Well, okay, I was pissed during Cataclysm, but excluding Fire being garbage in Firelands, me being pissed had to do with Cataclysm, not Mage in general)
As far as this thread goes, people are being derp with what's helpful and what's not. I mean, come on, we wouldn't be Mages without Portals.
