Come on now

- Arcane

Arcane was good back in WotLK, a bit OP, if you must. So, you think changing around the AB stack debuff to ONLY AB will bring us down to everyone's level? No, that nerfed us into the ground completely. You guys see this problem, and yet you just bypass the fact that you could just change it back to the way it was, only make the damage stack a little lower. But no, you want to just keep on lowering the mana cost of AB by 1% every week. -.- That isn't going to make Arcane better, and the more you lower the cost, the more you're promoting the same fact you tried to diverge away from going into Cata (Spamming AB). There is one simple thing I can tell you right now. The only way to FIX arcane is to completely trash the current system of it, and make a new one. Plain and simple.

- Frost

Frost has usually been spamming Frostbolt for it's "rotation", we all know this. But I think you did a great job fixing it to make more viable in PvE at the launch of Cata. I really do, and I enjoyed playing Frost while raiding. Imo, the priority system was much harder than Arcane and Fire, and I liked that. Then 4.0.6 came around. Yes, I understand Frost Mages we're OP in PvP. I knew that nerf was coming. But if you look at the "nerf" closely (cause personally, I don't think you have), all you did was change it back to "SPAM MOAR FROSTBOLT". You nerfed our Mastery, but buffed Frostbolt's damage by 15%, THEN went and nerfed Deep Freeze's damage. Deep Freeze had no reason to be nerfed whatsoever. That was the one big hitter that we had, now it hits like a buffed Fireball.

- Fire

Fire has always been one of the most RNG dependent specs in all of WoW, without a doubt. Reasons for this are:

1 How you so heavily revolved Fire around crit, which has to be the worst stat to make a spec dependent on. You get mana back from crits, HS procs from crits, Ignites, etc.

2 You're bright idea of changing Combustion ALL around. This would be a good change up, if you actually fixed Ignite munching. Combustion's new form revolves around having a big Ignite up THE SECOND you hit your Combustion. And with dots rolling all over the place, there's honestly no telling which Ignite your Combustion will be using. So, bring back the old Combustion, or fix Ignite munching. Plain and simple.

3 Probably Fire's biggest problem is Ignite munching. This has been promised to be fixed one too many times. There have been SO many solutions suggested to you to fix this, and we have yet to see this even touched. I'm not even going to go into the ways to fix it, because there are literally too many.



What are your guys' opinions? Do you agree, or do you believe Mages are in "a good place" (as Blizz always says) right now?

If I recall correctly, FFB was better in Ulduar, and Fire was better during ICC and RS.
Forgive me, haven't been playing this game that long.

Started raiding ICC around when 4.0 hit (when arcane was ridiculous)
