I don’t think mages are OP at all, and I have both a main character mage and a main character rogue. Mages have such little HP. I actually find mages real easy to kill on my rogue. If you are having THAT hard a time killing mages on your rogue then you must be doing something wrong.

That being said, I enjoy playing my mage more now due to the more variety of abilities it offers, however I worry what this mana adept thing will cause. Seems more like you are mastering in something that nerfs your character vs giving it a boon.

some rogues are idiots at playing the class jsut don’t mind him

Mages are an extremely versatile class, but their huge downfall was evasion from a group. Since melee has “ranged” silence abilities, as well as stuns once a mage blinks out of a stun they have no evasion from a group. Between rogue shadow step, warrior charge, and fear, a mage cannot remove themselves from a group even with both frost novas available. The new attack of “Wall of Fog” will allow the mage the ability to control groups in a BG rather than, just being mobbed and die. It will allow them to escape from a group by escaping through the fog, or going invisible, or iceblocking and blinking away. I think this is very ingenious for the mage. Since the spell basically costs 2k mana and has a 10 second duration, I don’t think any mage out there is going to be “spamming” this spell any time soon. Its going to work similarly, like a hunters AOE frost spell, and will allow the mage to get out of a hunters range, as well as slow the “sprinting rogue” thats coming for u and the DK whos just out of range to pull you. It allows for a regroup, and an execution of what the class is made for. Crowd control of a GROUP. Not of single players. Go blizzard A++

mages should be op cause they wear cloth. and mages are usually the first to die always!

@hate4mages i do agree with u some parts, but disagree mostly. yes, frost mages got a huge ammount of diffrent spells. may be used well or bad. but its really needed for mages to have them all. a mage is one of the most squishiest of all classes. if they didnt had any1 of these spells, any melee would kill the mage within the first 5 sec of combat.

yeah, they are great kiters! the best in the game. without it they would lose to any melee. a mage isnt a dk or a warrior, huge hp and need to stay near their enemy to deal dmg.

and duels will never be equal! it just wont happend, get over it. all mages beats warriors. unless mage just stop kiting and using all abilities, just to take the warriors lolstorm dmg. sounds fair? right?

and what about frost mages dmg? its worse than rest of the mages spec’s. frost mage doesnt really got any good dmg, just look at destro, ele bursts and hunters. all got alot better.

i agree with that some spells might be op, i would like to see frost mages with a huge ammount of spells. HUGE, but u need to use them good to be of any good. so no screwing around. all must be perfect.

and pls stop QQ about mages if they beat u, just find a weakness and a strat against them. skill up, gear up, grow up!

These changes honestly make me fear that I will hate my mage which has been my main forever. The idea of damage done being based on the amount of mana you have left it absolutely retarded, whoever thought of that idea needs to hide in a hole when cata drops because I’m sure MANY people will be seriously pissed when it goes live.

Deathfrost may be the biggest joke ever. Increases ALL spell damage! except on the spell you use most! (ok…really blizz, what are you people smoking that makes you think this is a good idea?)

Ignite is probably the only decent one.

I have a mage and a pally, and the next comment is xposted on the pally changes as well. Blizz is making a ridiculous amount of changes to the came to both dumb it down by removing stats and involve more strategy in play style. They’re basically dropping WoW2 without calling it that. I was excited when wotlk dropped, right now I’m just hoping that i don’t waste $40 to hate the game 2 weeks later.

@hate4mages u idiot you dont even know what yr talking about. Yes blink is a nice spell…warriors have charge that gets them into combat in less than a second. Ice block although helpful is a shitty version of a pallys bubble and i dont see u complaining about that. on yr complaints about frost bolt… almost every class can slow people down. hell some can stop tem from atacking or even moving all together (rogues im talking about you) and everything you refer to is pvp. have you ever considered that if mages are op then it will help you in pve to be in out groupes. ok and anyway were clothies, we need some defensive spelles or we die… thats just how it works. It sounds like you just want your own toon to be better than everyone else. We pretty much just have a couple abilities similar to other classes. besides yr prolly a prot pally or somehin… talk about op… tho u dont see me whining about pallys do you? If you really think something is so op why dont you roll one yourself if you think there soooooo good. You make it sound like were the only class getting any enhancements in cata. that what an expansion is… enhancements for the game and for the classes. Of all the enhancements that the classes are getting mages are on the lower end of the spectrum. Mages are far from op and are one fo the hardest classes to lv. Everyone who says mages shold me nerfed just cant stand to see another class other than the one they rolled have anything good happen to them. grow up guys warcraft doesnt revlove around you.
