Its not like mages dominated the entire shadowlands expansion from start to finish.
Mage has been an arcane intellect buff bot since nyloatha where bringing more then 1 was valuable, the most recent tier saw mage get benched for the first time in years on lords of dread world first. We can talk about pvp and m+ which to be fair mage was pretty good at in season 1 however mages got nerfed accordingly by the kindling nerf and conduit nerf to infernal cascade scaling
Mage in dragonflight is looking like an pretty solid arcane intellect buff bot in raids for another tier and for m+ progression past 20-23 its with current tuning better to bring another dps over them GG

Dont know what game you have been playing the last few years if you belive that crap.
dude raiku is always top and blizzcon always win by mage
LOL. Frozen Orb damage is not even close your major DPS as Frost. Also Ignite always blows in early expansion until you can stack mega amounts of Mastery in last tier.
DF Fire Mage AoE is incredible. Bombs exploding, almost permanent instant Flame Strike casts with Fireblast and Phoenix Flames returning charges to you all the time supported with Scorch against lower than 30% HP targets.
Dude a lot of us give zero cares about pvp, who tf cares if someone is doing amazing in pvp, majority of us are here for pve.

In that case fire mage did some of the highest keys in the world and was used in lots of WF kills.
Man, reality is normally so different from the qq around here.
Dread lords was the first WF kill we missed in several expansions. Mage was the meta spec for m+ twice in the last 5 seasons and been in and around the comp meta a lot besides. We’re spoilt.
A lot of mages don’t realise how hard it is pugging as other classes/specs.
~30% of your damage in keys, so by far your biggest damage source. unless you mean in raid, but these nerfs are clearly for m+
if only going down the right side of the tree wasn’t 100% griefing. dealing damage to a single target and spreading ignite is still way better even after these nerfs
And I should care because?
People like you always like to jump in with X did Y and thus we are tops, tee hee hee.
Fact is raiding the last few expacs mages do not feel like a top dps class, they feel like a try hard to get middle of the dps for each fight.

Probably becuase what youre saying is objectively drivel.
But post truth era and all that. You go with your feelies, dont let facts intrude.
Ah you mean like majority of your trolly posts?
Forgot muppets like you lurked on here.
You cant speak the truth and you cry when you get called out on it.
Yet in your head im the muppet…
What?
This build is incredible.
okay, feel free to play that and deal less damage on aoe and significantly less damage on bosses. there’s no reason to play flamestrike unless you’re consistently at like 6+ targets with no bosses, and there’s no reason to play living bomb period. the damage just isn’t there with current tuning, and you’re wasting points that could be going towards actually useful picks.

This is dungeon build and you switch to single dps before boss pull. This is NOT for bosses.
you can’t swap builds during m+, and once again you’ll deal less damage than by just spreading ignite
