Another unhappy Mage

Classes Mage

I can’t face levelling with this class, this just isn’t fun. I’ve gone through the levelling grind every expansion since vanilla, 20+ years, but I’ve done 10 quests in Midnight and I just can’t do this. I really tried to find something to hold onto, but I can’t.

What on earth have you done to this class? The worst change for me out of them all is the removal of Cone of Cold if you spec Ice Nova, this has fundamentally changed the entire experience for me, it seems small but this was one of those utility rotations that helped make the “go kill 20 of these generic things” over and over and over again less painful. Single mob, ice nova from a distance and shatter blast them. When they group up, cone of cold to slow them down and then kite. It was a satisfying enough amount of variety to the gameplay that it made the tedious levelling process that bit more bearable.

Odd analogy but I feel like a kid sat in a room with all my toys confiscated, sat there staring at the floor in boredom, looking for something to keep myself entertained but there’s nothing there.

I’m fully aware why they’ve done it, but it’s made this game worse. I’ve sat through multiple previous prunes and bloating of the spellbook, but this is too much.

They came with Mage way too far with pruning. They did it to other classes as well, but not that much. Mage lost defensive toolkit and offensive stuff got fused so you don’t have a feeling that you have a choice. I am talking here about Glacial spike/Frostbolt and Ray of Frost/Comet.

Whenever I sit on my Mage, feel so weak. Not in the way about my damage, it is more about how vulnerable I feel. Maybe vulnerable is the better word.

As a casual player, I am always for simplification, but never over the fun. This class lost the spark for me and needs some design changes that will get me back to it, sadly.

Vulnerable is the last thing I feel as a mage; you have so many answers to a potential threat

The only thing we really need defensively is a bigger health pool; other than that we are fine
