Ok, let me start: SV Hunter and Destro Warlock AoE still untouched.

[Steelangel]

Holy is still not particularly nerfed. Mage's fire shield is the least problematic thing about them.

Frostbolt being 50+% of dmg log as frost mage shud ring bell

its actually rly big nerf for holy if u play the class.. mages nerfs cant ever be enough.. id nerf dmg but shield shud work too

[MrFrag]

I don't see any ww monk nerf. 4 seconds stun in to 120k burst, okey don't nerf it. ''Balance'' is a myth for Blizzard.

[OrangeJuice]

Shitty changes made by someone who clearly hasn't PvP'd once this whole season. Oh btw nice job nerfing the pally conduit in a season that everyone is complaining about MLP.

not sure if ur cluelss or just dumb

[socialmaker]

Blizzard dev: uhm we don't know what to do with Monks. Another Blizard dev: just increase COCOON

Unlikely to be neither

If you interrupt frost bolt the mage can do nothing, not even Ice Block. If he gets interrupted, he is useless other than sheep. If you can't interrupt, you line him so he can't spam frost bolt and kill you. Maybe you just don't understand the game. Literally, the only thing you need to do is not eat snowballs for 30 seconds when he uses cooldowns.
