THIS IS TO DO WITH HOW BLIZZARD HAS LET DOWN THE MAGE CLASS....Now I'm not a WOW addict and I'm not interested in WOW or Blizzard apologists replying to this in a trolling manor in the "I know sod all, and they know everything", I don't do the maths to work out DPS etc, I play for fun and fun alone, I do NOT do PVP if I can help it, because there is always some smart arse who thinks they are "god" and thinks things should be planned meticulously down to the last Item level, that's for PVP and those who do the maths are not game players they are game managers.. they like to manage their toons existence that's fine for them they can get on and do that and Ive no truck with PVP'ers they can do what they like on PVP Realms, and to especially those who respect a PVE realms. It just seems some NEED to gate crash PVE worlds no doubt because they believe only their world should exist, may I remind them this is JUST A GAME .. and so in this respect... LEEEERRROOOYYY is my hero...
all that said, after playing solid for 8 years and having 6 toons dragged kicking and skrikeing from level 1 through 105 levels following the story line, doing the quests, and not just sitting in some cave killing a boss over and over and over and over again to "level" (none of this "jumping to level 90 or 100 stuff) except starting my Demon Hunter who only appeared with Legion, and not knowing other toons like priests etc I can only speak for my Druid, my normal Hunter and the 3 different mages, and my Demon Hunter, I'm here asking why and to wonder why Blizzard software writers have chosen to make the Mage so vulnerable, sidelined, being tweaked out of favour, with virtually no defense and just a single attack mode, defense due to very limited CLOTH armour and shielding that only lasts nano secs, and while attacking once your main flurry of spells are let loose, your left there waiting patiently for the cool downs to stop while half a dozens varying npc's pummel you to death for the umpteenth time, my mages spend more time dead than they do alive.. always on the back foot... limited spells to cast while running backwards, (CANT DO THAT WHILE MOVING) is always on my screen. Mages do most of their killing while back tracking, and if you back track into the path of another npc, your dead... so due to casting times and then cool down times, mages are as vulnerable as hell, unlike warriors/paladins/death knights/demon hunters... those I see all the time.. waltz into an area I'm fighting 1 npc, and take out half a dozen.. and then run off no doubt to wipe out other npcs elsewhere. The frost minion is pathetic, the arcane blob is even more pathetic, mirror image might as well not exist just like a fire mage minionless and anyway doesn't help all that much but then they're gone and oh! Ill just die AGAIN while I wait for their cool down to stop, that is mage non existent defense...and the fire mage well he's on his own anyway.
My druid has the defense of a forest at hand and can take out most stuff, may take awhile but at least he survives...my hunter likewise, with his pets and tricks copes particularly well, and... my DEMON HUNTER.. well, that's in a class of its own.. death is not an option even stupidly taking on a couple of field bosses at a time and walking away unscathed.. and a smile but my poor mages having got to level 105 (at this time of writing), have got there in SPITE of blizzard thanks to absolutely NO HELP from the software writers at all, and it has become my contention that blizzard just wants DEATH KNIGHTS and DEMON HUNTERS with MASSIVE flashy swords flying around on flashy my little ponies.... sad really
ok so its a rant, but i needed to say it....cos it pisses me off(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Ranting like this is against
It's a shame because there's some potential for interesting discussion in here but if you can't just raise it as a discussion with friends/peers, and have to couch it in this overly aggressive/defensive - insult everyone else before they say anything - rant, then I'm afraid it's just not appropriate for this forum.
