What did Xaryu say about Mage?

“telling me mages are the ones that are crying. You guys are telling me mages are the crybabies”

approach our beloved class give us our class and spec identities and fantasies and you guys are ... and the shamans just straight up shut down their own discord? Are you kidding me? This is insane.

“liking my mage in my raid and i make a second character it would be a warrior or maybe like”

man i i like i said guys i'm gonna main a mage but if i make a second character like if i'm not ... a shadow priest if i wanted to cast her but dude oh my god warrior so fun so sub rogue looks really

“man i i like i said guys i'm gonna main a mage but if i make a second character like if i'm not”

I love it. ... liking my mage in my raid and i make a second character it would be a warrior or maybe like

“kind of like arcane mage you get if you get kicked you're screwed and against nature immune mobs uh”

school to fall back on and pvp that's a fair complaint i suppose yeah yeah true you get it's ... and chain lightning is still barely worth using in single target because of its high mana cost

“output yeah of course i i hate how this has to be said you know i said the same thing with mage yeah”

shaman community are not throughput related yeah yeah of course we repeat this is not about damage ... truthfully hybrid tax us all if you want the result let's be a cohesive class fine okay this

“Woo-hoo! Right? Mage council. Bring some mage minds together. What do we like? What do we dislike?”

Change happens. ... Why? Maybe the devs see it. Maybe there's change. Woo! Right? There we go. But yeah, I think just

“we lost it. Similar with Mage Icelance cooldown. Oh, it was zero cooldown, now it's eight.”

So I think a lot of it is optics more than anything else. It's, oh, we had this and now ... but maybe ice lance is better at eight all along right maybe instant ghost wolf is better with

“Let's use Mage.”

If it's never, for example, let's not use Shaman. ... If Fire Blast is not worth using in your rotation, it's a tuning problem, not a design problem.

“going to be your big spender. Kona Cold, melee range. You have to stand in melee as a mage.”

a standard melee range now. Guys, if you guys haven't read up on Frostmage, Kona Cold is ... Melee range.

“and Rupture, Earthshock and Flameshock. Shocks are 20-yard range. That's okay. I mean, mage is”

rotation, huh? And two of them are mutually exclusive, kind of like rogue spenders, Slice ... a standard melee range now. Guys, if you guys haven't read up on Frostmage, Kona Cold is

“but maybe that's what they want in a sense of like arcane mages can only arcane blast as much”

until you go um is this what you guys are saying is you're gonna go um with lightning mastery ... as you until you go um is it still it still buffs lightning bolt so you could do like chain lightning

“and then Mages are crying now that Ice Lance has 8 second cooldown.”

Like, you had Ice Lance on no cooldown, ... What if it was eight seconds the whole time, people would have been like, oh, that makes sense.

“And the same is kind of true with Mage.”

I think people are upset, right? ... Like, you had Ice Lance on no cooldown,

“Oh really? Can I just decurse it as a mage? Is it a curse? Is it actually? Wait, you can? Oh wow,”

teleported you there and turned you invisible for five seconds. A.K.A. Zed. It's also a curse. ... That's great. Great news for me.

“suck and he he wants way more stuff that's my guess he he said nerf mages after reading these”

so let me let me guess peekaboo is somehow upset with these changes and he think rogues are gonna ... yeah i'm sure he did i'm sure he did oh my gosh that's crazy guys sub rogue looks awesome

“they did the same thing with mage they've done the same with a lot of classes where”

so now you can actually play sub more with hemo great i love what they're doing with this like ... the top talents are good for any of the specs so it incentivizes you to get new specs like it's

“from different rows i'm not as well versed as like mage that i played and have thought about”

two was three. I didn't play pally on the beta. So a lot of these things in terms of the shifting ... because i haven't actually played the you know i played in an era but i haven't played in beta

“Wow, so that's Mage.”

So we'll have to wait. ... Lots of good stuff.

“for mages because now you're not pressing one button, you have a reason to press multiple.”

Even though it's a massive nerf, I think it's very good for the game at large. And it's good ... not just for pvp but for solo play questing dungeons and raids it gives you a reason to

“different spells you watch a mage montage and it's kona cold and arcane explosions and fire blasts”

right you watch like you watch like uh you know a warlock and they're utilizing a bunch of ... and polymorph like it's not lance lance lance lance that's not good gameplay so an eight second

“the tree. And Empowering Ice Barrier gives the mage a reason to go all the way down for PB. Okay,”

barrier holds removing piercing ice gives players a few more talents to play around with earlier in ... let me say this very clearly. Buffs and nerfs and tuning don't mean much right now. Why?

“yeah i i actually like that that's nice yeah i think that's good another slight mage nerf but”

improved fire blast on the first row was probably a little too strong anyway ... that's good piercing ice talent removed uh okay yeah well it's hard to say what that means in

“you know, you're a frost mage, but you really want incense. I think it's cool. Like it's just nice.”

really want like strength from the holy tree. So I like stuff like this. Like you're, you're, ... Improved fireball, uh, renamed accelerant now also reduces the cast time of arcane wrath.

“but czar melee mage okay you know what you know what yeah um not a good talent never really was”

I don't know. ... a good talent now it's like are you gonna put three points into it pretty much never is it

“This is a good mage nerf.”

Let me say that again. ... All right.

“as a frost mage, I would want to go missile barrage before frost. As a fire mage, I'd want”

missile brush should not be on the first row it was just too strong why do i know it's too strong ... to go missile barrage before fire. It just becomes an auto lock in instantly. It's too good to ever,

“second time i say it guys this is a mage nerf and it's a good thing i was pretty adamant that”

missile brush has been moved to the second row and not the first all right this will be the ... missile brush should not be on the first row it was just too strong why do i know it's too strong

“Melee Mage confirmed!”

Imbue Ice Knife's visual has been changed to better convey that it's a root, not a stun. ... Oh my gosh.

“lacerating strikes lightning reflex okay mage onto the juicy stuff boys”

to third row barrage damage increase sniper shot damage increase true shot uh value increase ... Imbue Ice Knife's visual has been changed to better convey that it's a root, not a stun.

“druids how do you feel about this druids how do you feel about this from my mage brain i i think”

a moon can and a feral or just a druid i don't know i'll i would have to like think about how ... it might feel kind of not great because now you just it's like oh we have a moon can we don't need

“mages, I mean, this is basically the entirety of the mage class is that you use rank one fire”

This is good. All good stuff. I'm really happy that this is back. I'm pretty biased here because ... blast, rank one cone of cold, rank one arcane explosion, rank one ice, well, frost bolt,

“someone every time and mage is just pom pyro dead right whereas before it's like you at least had”

100 ou and stuns whereas before they needed some resets maybe um pom pyro will just one shot ... to sheep someone and then do like a pyro pom pyro fire blast blast wave or something now it's just
