The balance is out of place. I like how they nerfed the utility of priest, and nerfed SP damage, but what about mage utility? Let look at mage utility, can name few:
5% intellect buff from what benefit every healer and every caster,
BL and mini bl they can use themsel,
Invis so they can cancel mechanics,
Blink - can blink from stun,
Mass barrier,
Can deal with affix - polymorph/remove curse,
Good interrupt and spell steal,
Good crowd control,
Mage table
No ranged spec has anything like this(let’s leave evoker out, because everyone agrees how broken evoker is) but with their utility they also do the top damage, all specs are good at all times. Either give more utility to other casters and buff underperforming specs, or nerf mage utility and damage.
Thank you
The game was unbalanced since the beginning. every season there ia a new FOTM. I mained a mage for years and it was underperforming for the 90% of the time (think about arcane for example).
Dont mentioning mages die in one sec.
Warlock
Can summon any player in the group from anywhere instantly.
A range of pets some of which can be used to tank.
Demonic Gateway. Can be used to cheese mechanics making movement trivial.
Demonic Teleport - Can teleport out of stun
Can deal with affix entirely on their own - Fear, Banish.
Good interupt that is not on the GCD and a mortal coil that can also interupt.
Good CC - Banish and Seduce
Cookies - Basically a 2nd free health pot.
Super Tanky so can survive a lot of damage
No ranged spec chas anything like this. Also do top damage in most specs! (This bit is a lie but as you lied about mage i thought it would be ok! :D)
Warlock doesn’t have any group buff, far from mage intellect. No one using their summon in M+ content, no dispell for current affix. Cookies no one use in m+, as healer I can assure you it’s true.
Warlock is almost there, but far from mage still.
If you think warlock utility is better than mages for M+, you are either delulu or just replying to me because I write from warlock. Also, two specs of warlocks are still
I didn’t lie about mage DPS, all their specs performing as meta in m+.
So? SP utility was nerfed as well as their damage because of evoker. Balance druid don’t even have interrupt and their aoe stun was OP long time ago, this is why the spec doesn’t have interrupt now.
(Literally don’t want to play it because of it, otherwise it’s a fun spec)
Yeh its doing ok in raids right now. Dont think its as good in M+.
OP is just spouting rubbish really. If you wanted to moan about OP classes you should really be looking at the DH and BM crowd.
Mages are doing ok but they are not OP. BL doesnt even count when there are now so many different classes that have it.
No, he is just ruining the topic lying here as usual, destro and affl are bad in m+
Idk how what I’m talking about is rubbish and I’m concentrating on M+, not raids, everything I said is correct. My husband is in top 10 arcane mages and he literally agrees with me and saying it is OP compared to other casters. He clearly doesn’t even know that mages can use their bl twice for themselves as well
The topic is clearly about M+, because the utility is way too good for M+. SP utility was OP in m+ last season
Good for your husband! Im happy for him.
Unfortunately as Arcane mages dont even break the top 10 damage classes in M+ overall and as Demo lock and Balance druid beat them i am not inclined to take what he says as gospel.
Can’t the imp dispel afflicted though? As far as I know it should be able to.
You are also viewing it from a M+ perspective only. In that context mages do bring more to the table compared to warlocks in terms of utility, though I recall demo doing very well this season.
I do not think anything will really change unless they start balancing M+ and raids separately (which we know Blizzard will not do).
Your pet is your interrupt in M+
Demo has same utility as other warlocks, their damage is just better than other specs. And I’m talking about all casters here, not just about warlock. Warlock has it better than Balance for example. (Utility wise)
Some people are not interested in raids, and more people play m+ than raids, it’s stupid to balance the game based on raids that are run every week vs content that is run many times per day by basically everyone.
LOL its not a tier list, its a list of the actual damage classes performance in actual mythic + season 3
Its not some made up heresay rubbish this is the literal truth!
