been playing around with mage this season, and arcane is by far the easiest and most intuitive spec of em all. it was easy to get the hang of and you really dont have a lot of buttons either.
fire mage though on the other hand… jesus
Fire mage is the hardest of the three by far. If you mess up your combo even just a bit you are off doing rez sickness damage for at least 15-20 seconds. Fire mage unfortunately relies way too much on combustion which is on one hand fun when you pop it and everything goes perfect but unfun and totally unbalanced when you are off combustion.
They should shift damage outside of combustion it seems they are onto something with hyperthermia. We will see as season goes. Arcane and frost are boring tbh and way easier.
there is many reason why it is
and the counterargument it is not THIS SEASON
is arcane flux
(if we talking pvp)
if we talking pve, idc everything is easy

in solo shuffle where everyone have the same conditions you´re always the focus get like 20 cc + interrupts per second with 2 mage school and after “rework” everything work with proc and you have to cast like 13 spells to get 5% 5 sec proc and pray to not get cc or interrupt in that 5 sec to do a great hit play arcane properly is very hard specially against hunters, dk, dh, rogues and pala ret nowdays they have infinite movility grips or oneshot you since narnia and you have to waste your blinks on cast or cast arcane surge on a pet behind the pilar… on top of that altertime and barriers was so nerfed and almost every class one shot mage to fast now no point “meles” have better armor, high hp, better dps,same or beter movility, better defensives and inmunities then casters.
in bg is a bit easy and fun depens more of the situation and skill

It used to be hard when you had to sit and hard cast arcane blast and that’s not the case this expansion. You get infinite procs, channelled damage while moving (easier to juke kicks) with insane damage, nothing to min max until 2.4k+ in the rotation either.
People are just stuck in the past still.
