AoE cap excluded most of the classes/specs from the high end m+. Also, I agree with previous comments that bursting 2-4 packs of thrash was the fun part of m+.

I don’t mind AoE caps.

Except I’m not, just like I already explained in comments above :wink: But that would require you to read and that’s too difficult, just like understanding what damage profile is and that different specs are good at different things.

How exactly does it not work? If it doesn’t work, please, explain to me why the highest key pushed in the world was done by 3 capped DPS specs?

Most classes have a varying aoe cap between 5 and 8 targets. If I remember right, fire mage was uncapped aoe and I’m pretty sure frost is also uncapped.

One of the things I hated about BFA is how every class was essentially the same, the only difference being the damage numbers and the skill jpeg.

Classes in Shadowlands feel infinitely better and changing between different classes feels like a material change.

Weird how top 10 in EU all have a mage on the team and world has 9 out of 10 with mages. :thinking: Yeah can’t be a reason for that related to them having uncapped spells or spells without a hard cap like many others.

You mean the frost and arcane mages at the top? Could it perhaps be, that arcane mages are taken for priority burst damage, when it’s needed in the completed dungeons, such as NW for difficult bosses and prio adds such as the necromancers, + trash that shreds tank with stacks? And frost for consistent AoE and amazing AoE slows in Halls, where the group consistently pulls big packs, which would make for example fire mage much worse? That can’t be it, right? Where are all the uncapped fire mages, shouldn’t they be taken as a priority?

But I’m sorry, you with your 20lvl rogue probably know better.

What’s that? Basically all mage specs have abilities that are not hard capped at 5 targets like many other specs? Ah, that’s right.

Better than anyone in clearly. :wink:

3 capped DPS specs xDDDD

Didn’t the hotfix for sun king’s blessing fixed them to an extent?

Can you name the specs? Because I’m looking at a complete list of capped spells and I can’t see the “many other specs with 3 target capped spells”.

Problem is when one class have uncap aoe and legendary that buff this uncap aoe be 220%
and this can be spam on every pack in dungeon

When other class have aoe cap to 5 and legendary made around borrow power on 2min cd cap to 5 targets

Lemme break it down for you, Blizzard Soft-cap 20, Cone of cold soft-cap 20, frozen orb 8, comet storm soft-cap 20, Dragon’s BReath soft-cap 20, flamestrike soft-cap 20, ignite 8, Blast wave Soft-cap 20, conflag soft-cap 20, flame patch uncapped, arcange barrage 5, arcane echo 8, arcane orb UNCAPPED, Nether tempest soft-cap 20, supernova soft-cap 20.

You stating these spells shows me you have absolutely no idea about the specs you’re complaining about. Cone of cold, which is used for the slow? Comet storm, which hasn’t been used since early BfA? Blast wave? Can’t remember when it was last used. Conflag? The talent that does LESS DPS OVERALL than a damage oil?

People that have full CDs on abilities like 20s with a hard cap of 5-8 or that they can’t even spam and you wanna sit there and argue about how “LOOK mages have capped aoe!”

Weird how you ignore the rest then isn’t it? :3

Yes, because the rest are capped. You can clearly see it. Frozen orb, main damage dealer capped at 8, ice lance, main damage dealer capped at 2 with a talent. Arcane barrage, main dmg dealer for kyrian arcane mages at 5. Arcane orb which is not a big damage contribution, being mainly used for arcane charge generation. Yes, fire mage is not capped. Weird how most top keys don’t have fire mage in them though, isn’t it?

7 of the top 10 europe runs have fire mages.

While 5 of the top world have 1. Why, if capped spells are so damn horrible?
