The day tanks get a legendary, is the day wow ends
Normally I'm not one to post on these forums, but I had to make an account just for this.
ARE THEY KIDDING ME WITH FROST MAGES!?
If I'm not mistaken, they wanted to remove the blanket CC on counterspell, and originally added deep freeze breaking on damage (which didn't even make it to the US as Euro mages QQ'd too fast for it to be announced here), and were going to lower cold snap to 15%, while "buffing" to compensate by increasing FoF proc rates and increasing the dmg on frostbolt by 25% (and removing the stacking buff, thus being equivalent damage at all times instead of needing 3 stacks of the debuff).
So what happens? Mages QQ to kingdom come, blizz reverts the change to imp CS, to deep freeze, and now to cold snap, but is leaving in the "compensatory buffs" to FoF proc and frostbolt damage. So in the end, they BUFFED FROST MAGES. Does anybody else see a problem here?

The map of the new area, looks exactly like the layout for Zul' Drak.
So is it just me or could those legendary meta gems be a downgrade over the current ones for rogues. Going from best stat, agi, to worst, crit, cant be good. If that proc isn't fantastic and on a short cd then I don't see it.
Nice tunnelvision there laddie, the silence was given back to Warlocks as well(but you convineintly don't cry about that) plus Hunters and Priests never lost theirs to begin with.
I don't know where you got the cold snap part, they buffed the FoF rate of frostbolt because the Freeze from the water elemental no longer grants FoF charges on immune targets, meaning even with the buff to FB there are less charges (so even with your reasoning it would not compensate).
Wait wait wait... 2 handed caster MACE!?!?!
So, the three PvE legendary meta gems proc on helpful spell cast, melee damage, or spell damage.
Guess hunters just aren't supposed to use them, eh?

I think theturn was comparing these gems against the ones that are currently used in-game, ie the +216 agi and 3% crit damage one.

Too talented to do this, get back to making Mute, Jones.
how can they put in a legendary meta gem for pvp? how is it attained?
Cool, OP Asphyxiate gets a buff. Can Druids get the CD on our stun reduced? What's that - you're increasing it to 10 minutes? Thought so.
