Thanks

I remember when magehub was the gold standard. I assume you're busy with rl stuff which is fine, but I wouldn't recommend your outdated guides and sims to anyone. You probably should retire or pass on some of the mage responsibilities to someone else who cares about all 3 specs.

how are u not taking any dmg? i die in like 2 hits

Think blizz needs to kill the whole frostbolt build concept. Or at least secrtion into one capstone. I think Cold Front should be based on lance. I think Death’s Chill should be based on lance if it should even exist, I’d rather just see a capstone that makes lance hit another 2 targets. I wanna see Glacial Blast come back. DF S3 Frost felt so amazing. I really would love to just see Glacial Blast come back. That along with a lance build instead of a Frostbolt side of the tree. Instead of winter’s chill maybe splinters should give the comet storm debuff and allow it to stack. Who knows.

as far as it concerns fire mage design: 1) change phoenix flames from being this 2 spell sequence in the back end to being a normal spell so that there is no big delay in getting the crit count for hot streak 2) allow flamestrike to be cast on target 3) make pyroblast only castable with hot streak active. we don't need to be jumping during combustions just to prevent a hardcast that we never need. Adjust sun king's backend accordingly (transform the spell, separate button, whatever makes sense) 4) like you fixed kindling and unleashed inferno to work with flamestrike, fix firefall and phoenix flames talents to also work with flamestrike 5) both kindling and UI CDR existing is silly. Figure out what you want base combust CD to be and put all the rest of the CDR in UI 6) recognize that updating a spec by simply "letting it do the thing more often" (in this case, cast pyroblast) is a lazy design and ends up in 1) flooding us with resources and 2) making damage linear. Another side-effect was when you tried talents that make phoenix flames hit harder than pyro, you had to reduce them in order to not mess up priorities. 7) after 6 is recognized, repurpose phoenix flames to be an on-CD hot streak SPENDER similar to sub rogue secret technique. Allow it to do high damage, splash aoe, living bomb or whatever else it needs 8) Change living bomb in a way that the frequency of applying it is not just... 4%. The expected number of pyroblast casts is more than the time you need to get combustion back, so essentially the base lit fuse talent does nothing. You can even make it just stay on one target or only be related to 7), whatever it is 9) change heat shimmer to not be instant cast. Because of the fact that heating up registers after you have queued up another spell anyway, the only time you know for sure you need a guaranteed crit instant cast is when you cast an instant pyro without a fireball. keep fireblast as the only hot streak converter because it was designed very well for that, and anything else should have a cast time

Where can I find the other twos Mage content?

the thing i dislike most about the attempt to bring back necrolord frost is how half-assed they were with it. death's chill fails in making either side happy, because you dont spam frostbolts in aoe forever like necrolord, but you still have to use frostbolts in aoe which makes the people who dont want to do it mad too. the infinite ramp that was possible with the skeleton man added an interesting element of using buttons later into your cooldowns makes them more effective. if infinite frostbolts was the primo aoe i would actually be fine to play it because it makes frostbolt feel nicer to press but this version where you have to do it but also it sucks just feels terrible. also we dont turn into a cool skeleton man whats the point

man that guy's lisp, holy fuck

Someone wanna explain what shimmerlance entails for someone who’s never heard that term?

I really enjoyed Necrolord style of gameplay lol

IP, TV, SL perma frost was peak frost imo.

Great video, appreciate the discussion guys!

You stop w the bullshit rune of power conversation!

Laughed out loud and spit my drink when Porom noted there's 20 different spell ids for Living Bomb and even if Blizz buffed it they'd buff the wrong one.

Frost is in a great place (assuming tuning) if they just remove winters chill from splinterstorm. Very few players want ice lance spam

does fire need to be buffed by like 40% to compete with arcane 😵 shame , it looks fun with hypertermia /alar machine gunning

fuck missed it again; thanks for the uploads <3 love u guys

Out of touch guys; a TON of people probably love spamming frost bolt. Add in a few other things occasionally, and have it within 5% of the other specs and everyone would play it.

Arcane is really weird. It feels less complicated, even though I know it's more complicated. That feeling along makes me want to play it. I also feel like the most likely thing to happen is that arcane is nerfed at the end of heroic week, and we're just playing frost all tier.

Mage feels less clunky than S1 DF, perma iv was terrible to play, fire was undertuned, and arcane didn't feel good too. Frost need buff on it's capstone and the removal of winterchill on spliterstorm .

this podcast needs Manather

30:15 TRUE AND BASED

Peeping the arsenal kit

First like and comment wooo

1:06 "it has no complexty at all" LMAO. Porom, literally speak for yourself. Having spent so much time in theorycrafting about arcane its apparent that it makes you feel good being the only one understanding right? "From a player's perpective just follow a script" Isnt this exactly the opposite of making a game able to be relevant for new players so it wont eventually die? Abysmally bad takes.

RIP Arcane mage, was fun while it lasted but Blizz just couldn't leave it alone.

When is the frost epidose?

Was rotation always a thing in wow? I played back with vanilla and tbh this kinda makes me nervous. Is there a system you used to learn the rotation? Like what if you gotta move and get out of harms way etc?

at least I can confirm I wont be playing Mage much at the start of TWW lol

Frost doesn't exist :(

Great, tired of only being able to do well in a particular spec only if a Megamind or on coke, No complexity at all - I'm sold as long as it's still fun. You shouldn't have any spec that does better just because it's more complicated, that's elitism falling into actually playing the game, each one should only perform well (not be better) depending on how you play.

Finally the video we've all been waiting for.

The complexity issue isn’t always skill based. It’s just not good for the average player because it’s not fun for how complex it is. Having a system where the top elite players can still have complexity and then removing it for the average player at a slight dps loss is literally the perfect solution. As someone who retuned to the game a while ago from Cata, the rotations are insane and just not fun. I find myself staring at my bars to manage the rotation more than looking at the game screen

Thanks, cool guide! I have been playing fire similar to legion and using PF as filler inbetween downtime of fireblasts so i learned something today!

How do u insta flamestrike without placing the aoe circle??

Arcane mage here

You seems like a nice bunch of guys I would love to play dungeons and dragons with! 🫶

I know I'm not doing the ignite rotation perfectly but at what gear point does Fire become competitive with Frost for M+? I'm sitting at 493 with 4 pc and some ok gear. I don't have high vers but for easy numbers on the 5 man target dummy in a 40 second window I did 9m dmg as fire and 17m as Frost. I tried the Flamestrike build too but it was about the same.

new player here and huh? but will refer back when I get goin

Crazy how they've just added Deathbourne without a second thought to frost and haven't touched it since despite tons of alpha and beta feedback.

8:40 the talent tree being symmetrical while warlocks looks like a puzzle is a 200 IQ move, as we know from the cosmology chart arcane is order and fel is disorder in the warcraft lore.

earned my sub sir

Welcome to the council of the main character class ☺️

In a world where hunter devs exist, mage devs are GODs.

Absolutely love the cast men. Cant wait for it to get on spotify so I can listen during my commute.

Thank you. I'm a brand new player and love fire mage. I was playing it wrong lol.

I'm confused. Your Flamestrike build doesn't have living bomb......you then proceed to use living bomb in your rotation.

As a moderate M+ player and heroic raider my problems with arcane have been: Takes way to long to get into the rotation, which has been alleviated quite a bit by removing spark and the echoing spell, but will still take you a minimum of 4 seconds on a pull if you end up evoing at the start of a pack pull in M+. Though now in beta i keep looking for other buttons to use with evo running and only Surge/barrage+touch, not sure i like it but does feel better than seeing a pack halfway dead before you can do any damage. Aoe is still too much based on PROCS like live, I hate slot machine builds when your total DPS at the end of a dungeon can vary just based off of RNG. The difference in getting procs and not is startling with orbs. I miss the Kyrian Barrage build from shadowlands so much in aoe, was so nice to annihilate things with enormous burst. Why has barrage fallen so far behind. Testing in beta using harmony i still could not get barrage to really amp its damage and thats with two main mechanics boosting it (charges and harmony) Why oh Why does Arcane explosion eat our damn clear casting stacks, makes no sense whatso ever and really wish they would take that off. I just don't understand or see what damage niche type is arcane supposed to be fulfilling in the current gameplay landscape. We aren't as bursty as we used to be, we aren't really a funnel and only one major uncapped aoe spell thats based on RNG procs.

But dont u have to go for the phoenix flames talents bcz of our tier set for season 1 ?

such a well laid out video, thank you. one question please -> using your aoe freeze spells to shatter, do you ever do that for comet storm since it is sort of dmg over time and i assume the freeze debuff falls off the target sometime during the comet storm after the first instance of damage. Do you have any sort of window to continue shatter something you have froze after the first damage the frozen target sees? seems to me aoe freezes are best to amp dmg some briefly in aoe or for mostly glacial spikes when out of flurry charges. on the same line of thinking, i wonder if i attemp to shatter a GS without winters chill if my frozen orb/blizzard may eat the brief freeze i put on the target unless it ligners for some small amount of time. thank you.
