Did I miss something... are we not getting new mage abilities?

I would also resheep a mob to a non sheep too if I saw one lol.

I actually have a polymorph macro that randomizes between all the variants I have, lol.

To be fair most of the new abilities they add are terrible.

I'm alright with this, reduces bloat and ability creep.

Constantly adding new abilities is how we got to a point where melee had 8 gap closers and ranged had 8 escapes a few years ago.

I remember warriors having charge out of combat in battle stance, intercept in combat in berserker stance, and intervene whenever in defensive stance years ago.

I still want a non combat ability to mass teleport like antonidas from warcraft III.

Why, if you have portals? They're effectively the same and are less troublesome in dealing with other player's agency in the mechanic. Of course it could work like a reverse of the old guild summon, but that would require a confirmation popup, which is awkward because it could be accidently clicked away and then the person would be left stranded. The portal avoids these problems very elegantly, while it's not exactly the same spell fantasy, I think for a MMO portals are generally better while providing the same benefit. Maybe as a cosmetic glyph. But that's hardly crucial.

Not many classes are getting new abilities, isn't just us.

Agreed. Hopefully they stop adding abilities all together and only do azerite/artifact type systems. Game was a disaster for like 10 years.
