When will you finally fix the Druid Flight Form? It has still legacy flying speed.

In order to achieve some semblance of balance between Mage specs in PvE content, in addition to the tuning notes posted above, you need to:

  • Aura buff (baseline) Fire by 10%

On topic of Living Bomb, while it has likely reached the desired AoE throughput when fully invested into it, single target output remains practically non-existent.
The easy way to address this is to buff the Convection talent to around 500% (five hundred percent) increased effectiveness when bomb is applied to only one target.
