Why 10% nerf?

shammies boomkins and mm hunters are getting buffed with each patch when they one shot ppl and you nerfed mage really blizz??

Because statistics. Mages will never be good again. They don’t want people to play Mages.

Our main Talent Tree is bloated, bad and playing a Mage is not popular anymore. We also have AoE utility bloat that does nothing but increases buttons to press.

they dont want ppl to play warrior now they dont want ppl to play mage TF i am supposed to play? both of my favourite classes suck, they buff shaman mm hunter boomie DH with each patch yet they nerf the poor mage where in arena all focus mage and he just dies… like warrior zero defence bro!

I started the game in MoP. First character I levelled to max was a warrior. I was duelling an acquaintance on his ww monk and one of the top rated boomies in 5s happened to be watching us. I said I wanted to roll a caster and he told me to roll a mage, so I did and I ended up maining it from then all the way until I took a break for SL and DF. I played a lot on my boomie, warrior, monk and priest alts also. I came back at very end of DF and now I main Boomie. I played Frost until Legion, then Arcane in Legion and Fire in BfA. Frost is now my main alt. Although I’ve only ever played arena casually (just 2s to cap conquest), as I understand it, mages were top tier from MoP to last patch in arena, so this is the first patch where they haven’t been. End of an era, right? I’ll always love mages as long as I play WoW, but the times they are a changin’. Actually 1st char I got to level 40 was a Night Elf Fire mage with a beard! Some guy said ‘nice dps’ at the end of a dungeon and I replied ‘What’s dps?’ to which he responded ‘lol noob’. I still don’t know if his initial compliment was genuine or sarcastic as I had little to no idea what I was doing at the time :laughing:
