Hey i play solo shuf with my frosty, i get jumped by 2 melees or 1 melee 1 hunt and GG there is nothing i can do on this planet to survive for longer than 2 mins… i cant cast this fancy ray of frost you forced me to play on pvp if they are on me, which they always focus me cause they know i will die… and they will get the win. Just check how many frost mages are high in solo shuffle, do your math blizz and see yourself that the spec sucks for pvp. Dunno about the rest since i play frost only but its supposed to be the most survival, yet there is NOTHING i can do to survive or fight back, they are on me no matter what and i die always. Before rework frost was way better… at least i could fight back with instant casts and there was not that much need to cast, Ray of frost is pure trash for pvp channeling with 1 min CD is not meant for pvp unless they are stupid enough to not focus on you, in the begging they where but now they all learned to focus the poor frost mage and kill him dont let him cast. I simply dont have enough tools to keep them away or survive so i can cast frostbolts and get icecles, wait what? iceblock? ahahahaha mass dispell and warrior throw removes that just like that, wait what alter time? purge and spell steal its gone also. yeah i am sitting duck it just sucks. Hey i guess its good for BG if they dont focus you or if you have 2 healers on you… no wait hey! its good for PvE! oh wait it got nerfed… >.< Yeah PvE nerf was fine i guess but PvP 3v3? or even 2v2? nah its underperforming, or i am a cripple? or both i guess… Maybe i should try another spec? maybe frost is not for me? maybe blizz fix frost mage for pvp?
Mage was never an easy spec to play but it’s far from trash, I myself enjoy it now more than in the past. And you have to learn to e.g. use Ray when they try to retreat behind pillar - it channels through pillar so they often will die then xD
yes i know thats a rare thing to happend since they go behind pillar AND out of range or i get interupted by the other dps…, they also avoid it since they leanred how it works (ex feigh death every 30 secs ray of frost every 60 sec… ffs blizz), and even if its does work in 1/10 scencarios, its not that punishing to make the kill. So i am rerolling a hunter both MM and BM seems extremely op to me they destroy all my classes in 1v1 combat and they seem to excel in arenas as well. Because yesterday i was about to delete my chars and uninstall the game because of hunters. Now i will just make one. Mage is not for me hunters is instant casts killer class so easy to play but so good and effective at the same time… BM 2 button rot MM 3 button rot, mage is so hard to play and not so effective, this is just unfair to me but whatever, when the time comes unfair will come fair for all and everything. So Enjoy your reign hunters while it lasts… oh wait hunters reign lasts since wotlk? what?
It’s you I’m afraid. Frost mage right now is probably the single most broken & braindead easy to play caster in the game
oh ok, then if thats the case why you play fire and not forst?
I don’t think it should be, i don’t really play a lot of pvp, but occasionally i do.
I just can’t see how current frost mage would be bad in pvp.
They have slows, they have powerful burst, both with icy veins, and glacial spike. I just don’t see it.
you dont see it cause you dont play solo shuffle, in 1v1 or 2v2 hes ok but in 3v3 if he gets bursted down by 2 dps melee or not, then hes in real trouble, IB and AT cant save you since both are dispellable, so ye unlike warlock and SP who can stand still and take some beating mage doesnt have many options than to run, and runing with frost mage = no dps output to fight back. Anyway the real problem in class balance atm both in PvE and PvP is Aug Evo…
Solo shuffle will always be a melee fest, because melee will always be infinitely easier to play than caster. If you’re playing with random people as casters you have to find a way to cross-cc, set up windows to burst. As melee you can literally just say ‘‘go X’’ and tunnel that person down, see if you die first or not.
How about you stop blinking every 3sec then?
