I truly just want to understand how it is that you can understand 0 about the game when it comes to buffing and nerfing certain specs.
Like in 9.1.5. specs like feral, survival and enhancement have been obsolete this entire expansion whereas frost is one of the best specs in Mythic+ right now, but instead of buffing the 3 specs I mention, you instead go and buff the best spec in all of Mythic+? How do you people still have jobs? The mass exodus from WoW needs to continue until you fix stuff like this and I will also be leaving the game now.
Also, this comment is directed to Blizzard employees, not any players. (although the two are mutually exclusive it seems)

Frost needed a buff to the single target. It’s not op or anything in m+ either, people just generally want mages in the group.

Mage master class.

That’s all you need to know.

I am Fire main and i love Fire so much. But it´s nice to read that frost mage getting buffs. Bcs in Mythic raid its terrible spec compare to skb fire or kyrian arcane. I mean on single target.

Feral’s ST dmg is very strong. Survival’s dmg is very strong on cleave and aoe. Won’t talk about enchament. Damage isn’t the problem with these specs, they just don’t bring anything to the table that other specs don’t (except ench). It’s not an easy fix.

Finally a buff to frost mastery. It was very ,very weak compared to fire spec Ignite mastery.

Latest PvP tuning:

Icy Veins and Arcane Power are no longer dispellable.

Yay!

I miss the old mastery when it was % more damage vs frozen targets

They’re both boring.

In my opinion, they should keep the icicles, but now, icicles also have a chance to proc fingers of frost, and mastery also increases that proc chance.

Also fingers of frost should have 3 possible charges, and they need to do something about stacking mechanics, like brain freeze and fingers of frost.

Like seriously, you lose so many procs because of this, it’s ridiculous.

When you have brain freeze, it should not consume finger charges, or something like that.
Or maybe if you have both fingers and brain freeze, it should further increase the damage of your ice lance.

Basically think of it like this, you have 2 fingers of frost and a brain freeze proc, you use flurry and the next 2 ice lances will be buffed by both the fingers of frost and by brain freeze, so you would do 600%*2 damage as opposed to 300%*2, wasting the fingers procs.

But maybe that’s too much short burst damage for pvp, so it would probably be better to make it so that if you use brain freeze, the next 2 ice lances work as the target is frozen, like now, but also don’t consume the fingers of frost charges you could potentially have, so the effect is the same, but the overall burst is reduced, which could be a problem to hit for 600% in pvp situations.
