I understand the aoe nerfs and I honestly don’t mind, the spec is fun and we’ll still do good damage.
But living bomb is a talent that we sometimes pass through but never press. Conflag does the same amount of damage as a half decent trinket, it’s nothing special. Maybe it needs a target soft cap? It’s never high enough on my meters to notice it.
Those changes just feel a bit lazy. Nerf the passive living bomb talent by increasing the internal cd or something, maybe just cutting out the spread part of the living bomb. Living bomb as an active talent needs a buff of sometype, not a nerf.
I love the changes 10.1.5 made to fire mage, the rotation feels much better but SKB dominance is still there. As well as that we still have many dead talents, it still feels incomplete. I hope you have another pass at it and finish off the good work in the next patch, like you did for our paladin friends.
