You Failed to actually read they said that the exp is being lowered but with the extra honor you gain players won't notice

Since GC is too dumb to split game mechanics as should happen, any change for PVE's sake has to come at a cost in PVP.

And quite frankly, fuck PVP if it means PVE gets balanced.

Yep, mages just got buttraped.

The Incanter's Absorption change is like a nerf/buff sandwich, the 5% limit was lifted (buff) but mages can only gain IA when using their own absorbs; Fire Ward, Frost Ward, Ice Barrier, Mana Shield ((instead of PW:S and the like).

At any rate, I know a lot of mages who don't even put one point into IA, let alone fill it out; really the only fight I noticed a huge increase in sp/dps due to IA off the top of my head is Twins in ToC 10/25.

As someone else stated, the fireball glyph change is kind of a nerf. 5% crit > .015 casting speed increase. But I think whether or not that is a nerf is entirely subjective.

The Frostbolt buff is nice, but most only use frost/frostbolt for PvP and frost mages were sitting pretty in regards to PvP before this patch.
