Ya know, they could of just left the mage changes alone until they do a regular patch. . .


However, I will take whatever class buffs I can get, even if there are some . . .issues . . . like this.

I was gonna say... can someone explain to me how spells cost X but require you have X + Y in order to be able to cast them?


I really don't understand what this is attempting to "fix".

Lazy. Period. Lazy or not willing to take the time to properly fix things. Oh oops, that's lazy. Or maybe jsut stupid. "Hotfixes" are just little quick patch jobs that don't address the real problem, however they shouldn't attempt to address such things in half ass jobs. fixing a bug I can understand. Making changes to the mechanicl of a class whent hose changes aern't done fully and properly is just....bad.

the proper changes are coming with the patch but they probably felt like they just couldn't wait however long it will be before this next patch is out so they are helping classes that need it by giving them some of the mana changes early

Why the hell does Blizzard do sooooo many hotfixes these days. Are their really that many exploits in the game?

What happened to normal patching (and testing) as a means to fix bugs?

*sniff* *sniff* Hey, do you guys smell that? Smells a lot like desperation to me. Desperately trying to fix things without actually fixing the real problems cause that would mean they would have to admit they were wrong....

I think Blizard is just shakin things up to just do it.Why I dunno if the same forumla has worked for 6 years and you still have 10 million subs then obviously ppl do not want broad changes.Sorta like they have did priests and other mana based classes first was all spi based for regen then they wanted mp5 around time of bc then back to spi again gets old just make up your mind pick one and leave it.
