have yall seen mages defending AB flags do arcane surge and insta kill, then drink/evocate/pot?
how do you beat that?
Poor you, not one shoting anymore ?
I am still being completely deleted on my warrior from 50%
As a mage, predicting and blocking
As a priest, predicting and dispersion
As a rogue, predict and vanish
As a shaman, predict and ground
Predicting shouldnt be hard as its usually telegraphed by a PoM/AP AB, you just gotta watch for it. If you instead get polied into hardcast AB for the arcane surge combo, you trinket and interrupt the fool on arcane and murder him.
Anything else, no clue. It is a stupid ability though and should get deleted from the game. This is coming from a mage main btw.
How badly geared are you… lol 400 max ?
Rogues are very gear dependent lol
I have few lvl 40 bis, and pre-bis… There are mages I oneshot with ambush and there are mages where their shields absorb most of the damage and use my GCD to freeze/blink.
If you forget to use your frost armor and mana/forst shield, then don’t be surprised if rogue deals big crits into you 
In other post I have described how a skilled mage destroyed me in 1v1 while in WSG:
I walked behind a frost mage with his frost shield on, and used ambush, that shield slowed me and my attack speed and soaked up most of the damage, then he blinked before I could stun (global cooldown), I shadow stepped, and he froze me, (had all my 5min and 10min cooldowns), when frost nova broke I got to him as my shadow step CD ended, by that time I had almost no HP left, he used ice block, again he was able to do that due to my GCD after shadowstep, it was enough time to him to reset blink cooldown, he blinked again, slowed me, my sprint cooldown was up and used sprint on him when i got near him, he again froze me, I got to him again he cold snapped and ice blocked, blinked and then well I was dead.
Skilled priests, mages, warriors and hunters with current talent builds can deal with rogues without problem.
It’s just a skill issue not using your toolkit and doesn’t exploit small windows of opportunities that come with rogue making mistake and energy ticks.
I aint saying a mage cant kill a rogue, im saying ive never seen a rogue only manage a 400 crit.
Im very aware a frost mage can kite a rogue out.
Buffing mind blast would be my recommendation! Less more mana cost and a little dmd buff. That’s what’s missing for me. Having guaranteed critt and then critting for nothing with to much mana costs feels bad.
You have no idea what overnerf mean, you were even compensated properly.
Let me tell you what overnerf is, Explosive Shot being nerfed by 80%. To compensate Chimera shot was nerfed by 40%…
Also SWD is instant that deals 450, still more than 3 seconds Aimed Shot that hits 250-350 depending on the armor type
Fotm reroller dont know his own class 
u cant do that, u will leave your shadowform, and to do that will cost you so much mana lmao
lmao if u think this is bad, idk what to say
no it wasnt, because it´s not your single ability.

yeah tbh the arcane surge memes do need sorting out lol. Its a absolute meme and imho a terrible build, losing ur entire mana bar is basically a death sentence hhaha but people will do it for the fact its a easy 1 shot build.
but atleast it has a 1-2min CD on it haha

haha yeah, i dont have a problem as an dps class with it, even when i getting onetapped, the first time when it happens to me, because i didnt know that stuff like this exist, i was just laughing, i was LMAOOO a new POM MAGE have been discoverd xD
but in Ab teamfight it feels frustrating, because they always target your heal, shutdown him instantly and your team have already a big disadvantage
i dont mind if they keep vanilla stuff like this in openworld
But they are playing all Ret, and Hunter and still crying!
