Blizzard: Mages Can Do No Wrong

I feel I made the right choice unsubscribing.

Facepalm to the highest degree, you clearly play a mage and don't want to not be able to faceroll the keyboard and slaughter everyone with no skill at all.

only noobs get stunned, shouldn't have put themselves in that position to start with, l2p. < mage logic.

Implying hunters, rogues, and dk's take more skill to do the same thing? Mage would be beyond unplayable in pvp now days if DF was on a 2 minute CD and they couldn't blink out of roots. Stand there and hardcast while every class facerolls you? gg

Yeah beginning to think that way as well, PVP in MoP has been the worst pvp experience I've had in all the online games I've played (including playing an assassin in AoC).

Icebound Fortitude. But its CD is over 10x as long. Then you have DK trinket Talent, desecrated ground. Hunters also have their trinket ability as well, what is it The Beast Within.

Wow, I'm dumb. Obviously my three or four month break has erased most of this years WoW PvP from my brain (maybe it's trying to forget?). I play a Hunter and DK, though not as my mains. You think I would have remembered those abilities.

Ah Age of Conan, I dont think pvp in WoW has ever got that bad. Nothing like a game that ties your resource bar into your ability to stay on a target.

Mages can already get trampled by many melee classes with half a brain if they can't get away from them. Remove blink breaking stuns and roots? You just lost all credibility. Have you ever played a mage?

They removed it from Blessing of Freedom and look where Paladin mobility went after that. Let's call it "Justice"

And Holinka posted on twitter that the major MAJOR nerfs/buffs would come in 5.4 as 5.3 is mostly number changes and much needed nerfs (see Cloak and Dagger+ShD > Ambush spam from 30y)

Mages have been OP since classic, from PoM pyroblast to the introduction of icelance, to dying in a few arcane blasts... If you want to be a winner roll a mage. The former nemesis of the mage, the rogue, is quick to be fixed within a patch of being slightly overtuned in 1 spec, once a minute ( A needed fix however, rogue openers were pretty silly) But meanwhile mages have been lolling their way through seasons since their inception and nothing is being changed.

All classes have had their moment of glory. DK's were disgusting in WoTLK. Hunter's kicked ass during MoP launch and they are still pretty bursty ass is. And who can forget warlocks in TBC, taking 3 players with them to DoTs everytime they died. Warrior videos in classic show them wrecking entire BG's with a single pocket healer, weapon scaling to extremes. All those classes are / are being fixed however. Not mages.

Maybe these classes weren't played by Ghostcrawler (long enough)?
