Fire Mage Survivability

[chazus]

Unless I missed something, is there no way for a Fire Mage (or any?) to regen health in combat outside of the pithy Cold Snap?

You didn't miss anything. There's a glyph for ice block, but it can't be made until WoD hits, and at 4% per second that you're in ice block (up to 40% max hp over 10 secs), it's fairly underwhelming.

Don't forget about Leech on gear in WOD.

Indeed, besides that you will unfortunately not gain much self healing. The best bet as always is just preventing damage as much as possible, which obviously sometimes just cannot be done.

As if fire had enough RNG to deal with, now it has to hope gear drops leech stats as well : P

In all serious though, Fire and Arcane lost most of the CC they had, so either Ice barrier needs to absorb more or simply buff and reduce coldsnap to a 45 sec -1 minute CD.

Hopefully Dev's gutter druid CC now, to spec oriented. Seems only fair. - Entangling roots, Cyclone, Rake Stun, Mighty bash/Vortex, Mass Entanglement/Typhoon. Especially the talent CC's. they need to be spec oriented somewhat. That's not including the amount of heals all the spec's have.

Why even bother saying "Fire" Mage? It's all Mages.

Leech will be all our healing.
