Mage keeps getting more and more frustrating to play

okay so here i am, planning a fight 1v2, priest and warr, i surge the priest, i expect warrior charge, i shimmer it and decided going back with reflection im gonna ice wall and arcanosphere both

what i didn’t realize is that this priest just kept pressing dispell so that i lost fortitude buff, arcane intellect, reflection, and prevented me from doing this entire thing, i use all cds to kill him, then as im about to die i pick a reset on bg, i use pot, healthstone, alter time, im full hp, i get stunned, i trinket it, and im like “Okay, i have rogue and warr on me, but im in alter, and im stun dr, i should be fine”

but rogue presses garrotte, and im silenced, and i get 100-0 without being ablke to counter it…

now, its bad enough rogues can 100-0 u IN A STUN, but they can also silence, meanwhile, mage, as always, being the only class without neither stun or silence, hilarious af.

don’t get me wrong, I DO NOT WANT a silence or a stun, but i want other classes to lose of that too… why every class is still so bloated with ccs… WHAT HAPPENED TO PRUNING? ONLY MAGE GOT PRUNED OF STUFF IN THIS ?

when i fight most of other classes, they feel EXACTLY the same as before pruning, rogues stun u die, hunters do the same, healers are still unkillable machines with infinite tools, most meles are still right where i left them with ccs and gap closes… what exactly was pruned of other classes ? dps rotation spells ? thats what i lost half my defensives to? 1-2 dps rotation spells to make their life even easier??

not to mention, its been 6-7 years we’ve had only night elves everywhere… can we nerf that racial? i literally went to steal a base on deepwind gorge market with only 1 water elemental on it, i sweear 5 PEOPLE in shadowmeld, FIVE.

Yo, Iv seen you in TWW mine carts BG while I was on my Nightborne mage there.

Cant blame you. I dont like playing this Ray of Frost LoS, I prefer what was before, Blink + Ice Flows + Blast Weave.
On top of that its bursty as hell, not really fun to play. The burst is so out of hand, that playing on skill goes out of the window.

its, its annoying because its losing all the skillvalue and time u put into it, when they dumb it down and just m+ simulator pvp big dam…

Iv been here since TBC on and off, but mained mage class since cataclysm. Iv been through the ups and downs. But current state is blah. It does not give me anything in return. (Arcane has been sentenced to death for existing)

I also tried ret paladin. Its uncomparable. Classes (mage for example) that require more skill to master should be rewarded for playing, not punished.

Casting is not an option in Arenas (Fire mages at AWC) and the Ray of Frost - Shimmer is boring as hell. Waiting for this window and trying to survive in the meantime is not what I look for.

So Im letting go. Might come back later if I see some improvement. Based on my experience through out the years with Blizzard, I kinda expect significant changes as soon as 12.1. However if that doesnt happen, this expansion is dead for me.

Summer is on the horizon !

I retract my previous statement from Ellenri (its me). I finaly got the hang of it and its better.
I think PvP would be better after melees recieve some adjustments. I was so used to play with blink and casting on the move ice Flows.

Midnight changed it all.
