Bring back water elementals

Community General Discussion
1

water elementals are an iconic element of the frost mage spec. they have been associated with mages since at least Warcraft 3 (I don’t remember them being in the previous games but can’t say for sure) when Jaina used them. having a talent point to chose whether to have a pet or not worked perfectly fine, yes it needed a little balancing but balancing does NOT mean taking away one option entirely. that would be like removing an entire faction in order to balance PVP

yet every time we get a change to the PTR patch notes there’s no mention of fixing this blatantly obvious error. taking gladiator stance away from prot warriors was bad enough but this makes even less sense. now mage is just like every other caster and just isn’t fun any more. and isn’t that what the game is supposed to be?

We have to get used to it, this is current developement policy, put in 1 new thing and take away 2 already existed with the same move.

Mage no longer has the water elemental, really??

This is very true.

I badly miss my Elemental for my character’s integrity.

And I badly miss my Freeze for playstyle.

Giving mages an option to remove it was fine.

Give us an option to keep it.

You have it, but only during the time you have Icy Veins running. It got removed otherwise.

ok but if they add it back, you still won’t use water elemental bc lonely winter is just a straight up better upgrade.

if you are a role-player, you can use the water elemental pet, its the same thing.

and chakras for priests
and smart healing
and my observer…

i mean, a lot of stuff has gone missing. adapting is our unique skill, so we better get used to it.

not all players are obsessed with min/maxing, in fact the majority of players (and especially characters, since even the min/maxers don’t always get as obsessive with all of their alts) pick the build they find the most fun, even if it might not be as high DPS
