Frost mage damage

At 18.88% resilience I have got a shot from frost mage which took 50% of my HP. Next shot took next 50%.

So what is this gear for if my fight looks like that I cannot do anything except healing. And risk my life with fake casts to avoid silence otherwise I’d be dead very quickly. My bubble can be also easily stolen and even if mage goes away to eat his OP cakes and I want to do the same - his mob does not let me to eat.

Don’t you think it’s exaggeration?

PS: I do not know if mage needs nerf - I think that mage shouldn’t steal the bubble from discipline and holy priest.

Sounds about right :man_shrugging:

Mages take a lot of damage too

I think you did not understand not only my previous posts but even this one. What damage are you talking about if I have time only for healing? He gets huge dmg maybe from hunter, not from discipline priest. My two DoTs take a lot of mana and do not do much to him.

Sounds like you’re talking about a 1v1 scenario, in which case, a Frost Mage won’t lose to you.

Frost spike damage is predicated on freezing you in place and then launching attacks. If these attacks aren’t being interrupted, or you aren’t dispeling/getting out of the freezes/los, you deserve to die.

Im sorry to break it to you, but theres way more powerfull stuff around than fmage or mage in general rn.

Wotlk aint that easy tho. Try to improve on yourself before you ask for changes to the game. Not that they’d happen anyway.

Mages are the best. Posting for claim character in logs.

In a 1v1 situation there’s no way a frostbolt hit you for 10k.

Was this wintergrasp, and did he have the buff?

Wotlk is when pvp and gear got out of control… and pvp went down hill

thankfully blizzard have FINALLY realised this and is changing the gearing system in DF…

look into it if you like pvp it could be good for the game!

90% of dmg increase for frost mage comes from dispellable stuff …

If you keep yourself unfrozen and keep removing their fingers, brainfreeze etc … mage will deal 0 dmg to you …

Thats if you are healer …

If you are shadow you can wipe the floor with frostmage …

You mean 25% nuke on enha shamans and 40% hp bloat ? …

No thanks …

nah… but if that is what you are concerned about …

im talking about the fact the pvp should be less about gear in general.

less ganking newbs because lol i have triple their health because i play all day and they have jobs.

hurrah for that.

Getting and managing your gear was part of the PvP skill … thats what blizzard didnt understand and thats why they ruined pvp becuase “topkek ppl cant find vendorz” …

Everyone in the endgame has same gear anyway, crying you lost to gear, is same like crying you are not top dps on boss with green gear while everyone has T885974 set …

If there is something where gear shouldnt matter its PvE, lets give everyone same stats and see if you can deal with the boss and tactics …
No skill in PvE when you roflstomp everything because you bought epix from AH …

no… only the people which made it endgame got the top gear… the people who began late got ganked on the front doorstep and quit the game.

or resorted to buying boost carries.

pvp vendors are in pvp hubs, yw

you dont get how the gearing process works i guess… nvm… you dont just go to a vender and instantly have fully level’d gear…

anyway regardless of that … it should hopefully be addressed in the coming expansion for anyone interested…

lots of people talking about returning to pvp again because of it…

just sharing the news.

Mages are fine. They are far from top damage. They are very squishy.

The only good thing they have got going for them atm is their cc. Rather fight a mage than every arena game being either dk/war/ele.

season 5 is especially bad.

Very low resilience and hp in general. On top of that, bugs over bugs.

The game will feel way different with season 6 onwards ( + hopefully bug fixes)… and while s8 fullbis endgame pvp will be as bursty as it is rn, there will be trinkets and stats from gear to compensate.

From a PvP perspective, especially 2s at the moment, we’re probably at the worst spot wotlk will ever be in.

I say probably cause I have no idea how buffed Ulduar items will pan out.

For PvP you need to learn how the other classes play and counter them, or get trashed.

Thats the class and if u take 2soell from mage as disc priest go look at your character again. Mage cannot take down a disc priest without tare his … Apart. And for stilling thing when u still all classes but dispell it and mass dispell the only bubble of paladin its ok? And spell still of mage with 1000 mana cost its OP?! Dont know what u think about :))

That was another BG, probably you are right, he had been buffed for sure but anyway what is this resilience for if I go down like in PvE stuff. I think I should win with skilled rogue and even he does not deal so much damage.

I am not saying frost mage needs to be nerfed. I think that bubble should not be stolen by mages - only let other classes to break it like in case of warriors or dispel (other priests, shamans).

I had a teacher with 2200 rating (discipline), he told me that disc priest should win a duel with frost mage. So if I play with very skilled mage and he run away from me to eat OP mage cakes, I cannot because his mob keeps to attack me.

That’s why I think it is exaggeration.

I can also ask why retri paladin cannot use lay on hands on arena? I do not have problems with paladins as a priest - have you players that u’ve taken his skill away?

So why mage can use everything and paladin cannot?
