from the Book -
Mages: Students gifted with a keen intellect and unwavering discipline may walk the path of the mage. The arcane magic available to magi is both great and dangerous, and thus is revealed only to the most devoted practitioners. ( I recall the BCC and Wrath description decribing Nukes anc cannonons - do you?)
I think the underlying message to their description is " L2P!" Thats basically what Blizzard's response is to all mages QQing about how messed up this pure dps class is atm. Blizzard has not responded once to any threads regarding the issues of dps and mage specs in general. Only that PVP Frost mages got buffed because they attempted to make it a viable raid spec. Bottom line they f'd up and are too scared to admit it let alone deal with the other classes QQ if they fix it - This Pure DPS class should be OP or give them a utilty ofspec - matter of fact why not make all classe hybrids.
After Wrath - ICC - they (developers) aren't going to take any chances soon on getting flooded with more QQ about how ridiculous mage dps is. You have heard all the nobleness in the threads - "its not the dps that matters its if the boss dies" " I pull top dps in my guild raid runs" "Mages are fine" "L2P" "Your gear is bad" and blah blah blah... wait one other one outh there i like "DPS will scale with gear" you got to love that one - haha - so does every one elses - duh. I roll this boomy less geared than my mage and do equal and more aoe damage easily - again not near as geared - are you saying that when i outfit it in epics its not going to scale? Really? Hmmm.....
Arcane - Mana Adpet is actually Mana inept. I mean who isnt trying to manage their mana - if you end the fight with no mana that means arcane is doing less damage at the end of the fight - let alone during the fight if you are not above 1/2 or at 3/4 tank - mana management - meh - manage fixing the class bliz - maybe its developer adept -err- inept.
Fire - RNG and fish for a proc then have it ignite munched - whawhooo - yeehaw - awesome. Get out your lucky charms and hope you get one at the right time so you dont wipe the raid from not droping those adds. Hey but that trink has a chance to proc too - oh boy - it will really do some serious damage then.
Frost - It is still PVE raid - meh - frost bolts FTW - forget about blizzard - thats a complete joke - really - you all know this. PVP - wow developers really opened a can of worms trying to make the spec raid viable didn't they - haha - nice going - with that one.
So whats positive - mages have hero - lol - well i suppose the developers have factored that into mage damage some how and maybe now realize that - oh - it doesnt just buff the mage - so there isnt really a factor to mage dps buff from it all. They can have it back imo.
Mages are fun when - They do BIG damage - and BIG numbers flash up on the screen - you would be lying if you tell anyone or yourself that it isn't fun seeing BIG numbers on your screen - That is fuin! That is what I liked about my mage and I could care less if it was one button - BIG numbers equals - FUN!!
I digress though - those last few precious months of icc are gone and blizzard doesn't have the bones to admit or even respond to say they will look at whats going on and make changes - and do the right thing.
But good news is they aren't getting beat over the head by every other class now complaining about how overpowered mages are - haha - problem solved and a few less responses to make.
Blizz I feel sorry for your many issues and priorities -its a lot of work - trying to make everyone happy - meet your goals - make improvements - make a lot of money - sure - but I feel real sorry for mages and I really doubt that you are unable to hot fix and adress the issues - I really think itis more about the grief you will get from doing that after the beating you took in ICC about mage dps.
Ehh well - Boomys are a lot of fun!!! You should try one out if you are frustrated with your mage.

I love and hate you all equally.
tl;dr?
your frequent use of buzzwords (L2P, QQ) and hideous spelling precludes me from thinking this is anything other than a 0/10 troll attempt.
lol - troll - no - but obviously you are the spelling and english police ariving to the scene - gg - you got an A+ captain and can now work at Bliz.
The point is - Mages are broken and blizz is absent on the issue. The end.

I read it all, Yotakin, and agree with a lot of it, but I suppose you could lose the sarcastic, somewhat whiny tone of it. I'm right with you on the sentiment, tho.
The devs and the people who have the power to fix us seem to be remaining silent on the issues we mages are voicing. I find that odd (to use a politically correct word) after Ghostcrawler wrote that arcane mage damage was too low. I'm not totally understanding why fire mages are complaining quite as much as they are about the RNG dependency, because their damage output and DPS is good - usually in the top 6 in a 25 man. But arcane is always in the bottom 4 somewhere. This is just unacceptable for a pure DPS class.
I've read other mages posts that Blizz just doesn't care about arcane. I wish I truly knew what Blizz was thinking about it. I don't like to speculate about what's going on in their heads, but the fact is I don't see any evidence that they are trying, at least, to fix us. I'll keep playing, because my tall, stately, elegant mage is my main, and I LOVE arcane, but I'm definitely not happy about it and not enjoying it as much as I used to. :-(

LOL. You just make me laugh. Mages are broken and blizz is absent on the issue? LOL LOL LOL.
Honestly?
I read the first two complete paragraphs and I'm noticing something very wrong with your reading comprehension. Oddly enough, this is great foreshadowing about the rest of this post.
I appreciate the sentiment, dude. But seriously.
