I'm just curious, so I have to ask: how are you people still playing this shit? No seriously, years ago when I quit mages were OP to hell. Every time I log here I see threads about how op they (and usually ferals, but it's not the discussion here) still are. So Blizzard doesn't do anything for literary YEARS now. And you people keep eating this. Why do you hate yourself so much?
Infracted. Post constructively and don't troll

i have been waiting and wondering when this thread was going to show up lol. On its own its not game breaking but seeing as how mages have gotten along this season just fine with lance spam and frostbombs and giving them another way to deal good damage at the sacrifice of nothing is kind of crazy. If you want mages to cast more, sure buff frostbolt but y not nerf instants a little. Watching venruki stream rmp on 5.2 ptr and all i can do is shake my head. If your not running rmp good luck
what is the verdict on blazing speed vs blink.

they needed this change to they actually have to cast again
I'm pretty sure 2 ice lance is equivalent to the buffed version of frost bolt so there still isn't a need to cast.
because its weak as hell, even with the stacking debuff it gives on live, please pay attention.
Examining numbers in a vacuum is both misleading and counterproductive - what buffs did that mage have, what gear was/were he/you rocking, what debuffs were you exposed to, etc. etc.
Those numbers mean absolutely nothing given no context.
Be clinical about this - I now may be duped into casting frostbolt, and all my opponents know this. Therefore, my prediction is that a lot more of us will be trying to juke cast again (remember those days?) to insure we're not spell locked (no competent frost mage is going to risk being locked out of his spells just because they buff one element of our toolkit) while attempting to cast a frostbolt.
I've watched a few mages' streams on the PTR and I still see huge amounts of pressure on mages in arenas (i.e. contrary to popular belief, frostbolt spam wasn't as prevalent as most people are claiming).
Again, the sky is not falling...
the whole 'you can interrupt it' is kinda pointless (though I agree with most spells being instant these days everything that has a casttime deserves mentioning) - since no matter what you can't rely on interrupting every single one of the casts it doesn't really help the argument
It's being fixed, this topic is irrelevant.
