So the 4.0.1 patch is probably tomorrow...

Are they really pushing it live with the Burning Soul talent as is?

I am a sad gnome magelet.

[schwarzkopf]

And with all the mage glyphs screwed up...

Don't take it then. I see nothing wrong with it.

I like Burning Soul! Makes me feel like I'm something special DD

Every other class/spec in the game has passive pushback resistance for free now. Ours is 3 talent points.

Burning soul in ICC is highly situational.

Marrowgar during bonestorm.
Shadowbolt/frostbolt volley on Lady death (assuming you're not being shielded by a disc priest).
Frostbolt volley/the fire AoE on Dreamwalker.
Infest and pain on suffering on LK iirc from my arcane days, but infest should be shielded and you will most likely have a shield on you for P&S as well.
Possibly the shadowbolts on Bloodqueen as well, but I'm not sure about this.

All other fights do not have a pushback, in Cata the talent might be more useful depending on the fight design.

I'm pretty sure that the reason why most mages dislikes Burning Soul, is because it is boring, which is against Blizzards new talent philosophy, and it is something that every other caster (even hunters) gets for free, which seems quite unfair.

It also looks like the Glyph of Eternal Winter is gone. Byebye permanent water elemental.

Frost mages get it for picking frost, no need for a glyph. You also keep freeze.

[zacell]
