Upcoming Arcane Mage Buff on October 1st

[posted 27/09/2019 alle 21:57 updated 28/09/2019 alle 22:04 by Squishei]

Blizzard

We’re working on a tuning adjustment for Arcane Mages. With realm maintenance next week, we plan to:

Classes

Mage
Arcane
Damage of all abilities increased by 8%.

As always, this change is a work in progress. We’ll let you know if we change plans, and you’ll see the final adjustment in the final hotfixes notes 14.

Thank you!

Commento di RisotisYes, buffs are exactly what Mages needed. This is why this is the first PvP season since Cata that I quit and never looked back. Reason #84527093857209847 why Classic is @#$%ting on retail.Commento di AlchemostRemovedCommento di WillowwhispAOE has just gotten worse and worse for arcane over the expansion. Arcane explosion feels like a little puffball. I hope this helps.Commento di NicKris12Been playing Arcane since early Legion. We keep getting these numerical buffs, but the real problem with Arcane is not the damage, but rather the lack of rotational complexity, the non-existant cleave, inferior AoE, mana issues in dungeons, no options when it comes to talents/azerite, and overreliance on standing still.

The spec is absolute worst in dungeons, because it's only AoE that hits more than 4 targets (Arcane Explosion) is very weak, while Arcane Barrage suffers from the target cap, meanwhile running out of mana is a real problem and it happens too quickly, forcing the group to wait while the mage drinks after every pull. At the same time going into dungeon you must force yourself into either full single target or full AoE, because the huge chunk of Arcane damage comes from Azerite traits; you either choose Equipoise and do nothing on big pulls, or you go full Explosive Echo and get outdamaged by the tank on bosses.

Single target is competetive, but any sort of forced movement mechanic completely shuts Arcane down. Arcane's damage relies entirely on the ability to synchronize Arcane Power and Evocation. If you get ice touch on Sivara fight, then you will fall behind on damage too much, because Evocation will be delayed and burn phase will be very difficult to execute due to having to move every few second. I am not even mentioning the dreaded Queen's Court where Repeat Performance basically removes you from the fight for 30 seconds.

So many cool tools in Arcane's toolkit were lost in transition from Legion: longer Arcane Power, Mark of Aluneth, extra cleave on Arcane Barrage, stackable Arcane Missiles - and the only thing we got in return was Remove Curse.Commento di HebusOfTroyplz nerf mage T_TCommento di HenrickkBeen playing Arcane since early Legion.

I hope this helps.Commento di PallipwnsMeanwhile, in the twink brackets, Arcane was 2nd top dps for BGs before even the last set of buffs they got by just spamming arcane missiles. It amazes me just how drastically difference the balance is at lvl cap compared to twinks. And when a garbage spec at max lvl gets buff, it also buffs the top of the food chain twinks who roll with it as well. I feel like they should pay a at least slight bit of attention to these things and, maybe make these buffs restricted to higher lvls only. Example, you hit lvl 110 and your damage is buffed across the board by 8%. Instead of all arcane mages getting it, where they don't in some brackets for pvp.
