This whole resource reset and buff wipe when the gates open in Arena is AWFUL.
If this isn’t a bug, then what kind of intentional handicap are you giving Sunfury Mages?? You sit in the Solo Shuffle lobby, waiting for the gates to open, slowly building up your 5 Spellfire Spheres. But NOPE! deletus finitus!!! there goes your 10% damage buff, never to be seen again, because we ALL know the average Solo Shuffle round lasts about two minutes anyway. HAH!
And while I’m at it, let’s not pretend this is just a Sunfury Mage issue. Windwalker Monk my second most played class also gets hit with this nonsense. Blizzard added the ability to start with 2 Chi before an encounter for TWW, and as you sit in the gates, it slowly generates. But then? POOF. Gone. Not as devastating, but veryvery superduper annoying.
I’m honestly so sick of this downward trend in the game’s stability. If you can’t manage it all, maybe that’s a sign you’re trying to do too much. Big picture? Get. A. Grip. Arcane Mage literally spent the entire Dragonflight expansion* with a talent so bugged you had to macro it out or you’d int your own damage.
But mainly? Just fix my Sunfury Mage, pls. TY.
