Spell steal needs to be nerfed.

Mage steals Wings and blessing of might - Fair enough they wear cloth, they take damage easily, its almost fair.

Shaman purges blessing of might and wings - What exactly do you do?

Horay. Zealotry, one of our least useful PvP spells, cannot be nerfed. Thank you god?

mage spell steals all your buffs. mage is out of mana. mage dies.

quit crying about mages and learn to play.

[Oweena]

wait, start again from the top and explain where your argument is inbetween those two lines

[Jerion]

GC doesn't play a mage, Kalgan does. Aim your hatred in the correct direction please.

You can't rationalize the removal or changing of spells in extremely small-scale narrow comparisons, involving very little of the other abilities of either class or other classes or the PvE ramifications or the Arena ramifications, etc etc.

That goes for the OP as well as the people trying to prove him wrong or right.

Ontopic: afaik spellsteal costs a buttload of mana.. could be wrong though, I don't PvP except for the odd rated BG with my guild. :x

Smartest thing I've read on MMO-champ. I think this needs to be posted in every random qq/nerf thread.

Ah! That made me lawl. The base of every pvp rage forum.

But seriously, Mage steals your wings, Feral druid eats Mage's face, Ele shammy 2 shots Druid, Warlock dots shammy to death, Warrior MS's Warlock, Warrior is out lived by Priest, Rogue ambushes priest, DK Deathgrips and 3 shots rogue, hunter kites DK to death, and Pally Bubbles and chips DK to KO. So really, in a round about way, YOU FRICKIN OWNED THAT MAGE! grats man!

Don't be like that you know that's not true. I managed to catch a oom mage in AB yesterday and so i pounced like a cheetah on a gazelle. Only this gazelle was on speed. First she blinked, then i judged her and was chasing her, i quickly popped wing and fired of a hammer, used repent ( so i could close the gap and click of wings) she blinked again and stole my wings before i had time to even click them off.

Then she did a cheap pitty macro 4/5 times as she kept playing cat and mouse, until a DK came and helped me smash her face in. Honestly it was like an episode of Benny Hill..

Yeah, you should learn to use seal of justice and not truth(wouldn't have blink speed or fire mage lol proc speed). You repented and she just blinked away? Except, that can't happen... well, she could have trinketed the repent and binked, but then you have just caught the dumbest mage EVER in a FULL HoJ. At that point you can proceed to zealotry TV spam her to death. Also, upon further inspection, you got wings stolen from you after you used repentance(you fired off a hammer, this means that HoW + Repent = 2 gcds). Then either you seal of failure ticked and broke repentance or the mage used a trinket and blinked(another 2 gcds) and stole wings from you. You sir, have a slow reaction time if you can't, in a 3-4 second window, cancel aura your AW.

Sir this is by far the most brilliant thing I have seen ( this week) and wish to subscribe to a newspaper.

On-Topic: SpellSteal is ok but depending on the situation you are facing it can either be really good or bad

[Frog]

i have just one question to all the mages here:

how do you go oom while only spamming icelance?

have yet to see a mage go oom in 2on2...

I agree with you and yes in my own opinion, now that i thing back.. I was slow and lame, but still getting your wings stolen is not a nice experience.

\thanks for your input it helped me quite a bit.

Jon.

You won't have that problem in 4.0.6 when Repentance won't break on Seal of Truth, at least. Some mages aren't specced into Improved Blink, so keep that in mind and watch for it, too. Not all mages have movement increasing enchant, either, but that is probably more difficult to tell.

I really wish we had a slow, though...

This would be a QQ thread, and I'll be closing it now.
