At this moment im gearing an alt… a simply druid… now its at 372 gs
I have done vault of incarnates six bosses no prob
i have run 7-8 times mythics+ ( 6,7,8 )
I can not explain the suffer and pain that caused me to did this with my mage with 385
Really blizzard ???
Do u want mage frost spec only for elitist… that upload videos to youtube… with premades at his service ?? tank prepared… perfect pulls…
Really blizzard ??? i have not seen this in more than 10 years… but actually i dont fell confortable with the service that i pay to play…
If i see upcoming tunnings with… [Skillnobodyuse] 1% i will thinking the same.
Mage frost needs more IV uptime… and more flat damage ASAP.
Probably anyway i will quit playing… or… changing to druid ( it feels really masters o damage… and… master of healing… and master of tanking ) … Mages frost are master of suffering your terrible class design for Dragonflight.
Mages never got much attention. It’s a pure dps class with no special abilities anymore. And I’ve played it for over 16 years but this is a new low. When even your own guild mates avoid taking you to M+, not because they think you are bad but because of the class you play it’s getting stupid. Arcane has a few options to make it at time but u gotta time a lot of abilities right to make it work. I do play frost cause I enjoy that spec but this expansion so far makes me feel like I’m wasting my time. A lot of other classes literally faceroll over their keyboard and do more dmg with worse gear.
This is actually recommended…
As a mage everything below a +12 to +15 range is Frost Mage king, as mobs die to fast for Arcane or Fire to be played.
EVEN MORE?
You already have 80-85% uptime…
^ fixed it for you.
Doesn’t happen.
It’s probally a more you problem instead the class…
Arcane absolutely pumps M+ keys, same with Fire if you get higher up keys…
I’m not even going to give a proper reply here since u tend to jump on every post and tell people they aren’t playing properly or using the wrong spec. If people want to play frost they should be able to without suffering the huge dps gap.
You can though…
I’ve seen Frost mages in my pug runs that outdps everybody in the group around +15 and +17 ish keys…
I am not a big fan off “the easy specs should do the same as hard specs” mentallity, but even I can see it’s uses for Frost or Fire mages…
If your guildmates discriminate like that, maybe it’s time to find some descent human bieings to play with…
Even in our semi-hardcore “ish” guild this doesn’t happen…
Isn’t it sad, that a class with basically +30% haste is still so underwhelmingly bad? The baseline abilities just deal no damage.
It’s sad that the uptime is so high.
It doesn’t feel like a cooldown anymore, just a buff ability.
How can they balance stuff when your “cooldown” is hardly ever on a cooldown…
Because off this Frost’s damage profile is as flat as a man’s chest and therefor even less wanted.
Both aspects are just sad.
Needing a (near) perpetual 30% haste buff cuz of a poor baseline is sad.
No longer having an actual CD cuz it has an extreme uptime is sad.
The solution is obvious though; buff the baseline so it’s no longer dependent on the CD being up all the time & lower the uptime of IV so it becomes an actual CD again that can be used at important moments. That way both problems are solved…
Make icy propulsion and thermal void a choice node. IP would be better with 100% uptime, TV better on fights with downtime.
Blizzards “ensure 1 of 3 speccs are good” policy is the issue, blizzard simply get one specc on par snd forget the other 2.
Throughout SL it was fire, now we are seeing arcane getting all the love, but in every situation the other 2 have turned out bad. The last time i saw all 3 have their place was MoP. (I didnt play WoD for long so im unaware, i remember fire being bad on WoD launch atleast)
Frost dominated before getting the right stats, then fire / arcane were better dps when u were geared.
I dont see why buffing fire or frost right now would be “too much work” their pretty low down tbe meters which makes it pretty damn safe to do.
Yoy could prolly just add a flat buff of 15% to all their abilities and neither would pass arcane.
Dude all love is above mediocre dps at best for arcane.
They are good at 10-15 keys and normal/hc raid.
Above those arcane is like tier F at best.
thats because they’ve spam buffed every class around it though, arcane was hgolding down well to begin with tiul they launched that… the problem was, they left arcane to fall further and further and didnt buff its other speccs hard enough.
Its because its so awkward to play. Massive setup time for burst aoe that relys on mobs staying grouped and no casts interupted. Ench shammy is taking its stop which isn’t reliant on timings and positioning.

mobs staying grouped
How ANNOYING it is when one off the bosses off Council walks off.
Oh MY GOD I want to smash my monitor when that happens!!
