Arcane mage?

Classes Mage

So recently I came back to wow after a long break, tryd out arc mage, played the story for tww, did a lot of questing and finally decided that I wanted to go and raid (mind you this is like 2 months ago.)

I’m not the best player in the world and need alot of replaying the same content/raid to understand my class and rotation! U can say I’m a semi casual.

So I joined this verry friendly guild. Did the raid a couple of times, got some upgrades and started to feel the rotation for arc mage better and better. (This is with meta talents for Sunfury)
At the end of last week i finally feld good about my class rotation i was topping the dps meters in my guild/raids and then this new patch comes out…

Damn they did us dirty I can’t even play spelslinger is a boring 1 button baiting ab rotation.
Single.target damg is nerfed into oblivion that I’m barely above the tanks with DPS.
I can’t even be arsed anymore to look for upgrades because they changed Priority stats mid season who does this?

So I’m basically back to square one here but not having fun.

They need to do a full 180 degrees on this matter otherwise alot of mage players are gonna fall of.

They got balanced.

Welcome to being normal and not OP

Who wants to play a normal class these days? It’s all about that power fantasy.

Being just above the tanks with DPS is not balanced and not fun at all, mage is supposed to do top dps that’s whats the class is all about. And given the rotation of Sunfury I would say it’s only fair that it performed like that.

We didn’t get balanced, we got nuked.

All specs are solidly in the bottom 40 % and arcane is relying on RNG procs to do good damage.

Meanwhile all 3 rogue specs are comfortably in the top 10 with 2 in the top 5.

And let’s not talk about the 4 reworks.

So you are doing like 500k dps with raid buffs, flasks etc? In my opinion spellslinger didnt change arcane mage gameplay and the dps is still good. In my guild mages do like 1m-1,5m dps against single target. So either your tanks are doing phenomenal dps or you are doing terrible dps.
