It's impossible to balance PvP.

How is mage FOTM? Mage has been ridiculous 1-button DPS for quite some time now. Through most of ICC it was all mass AB spam with a few Arcane Missiles thrown in for good measure...



Aaaaand frost is far from a 1 button rotation.

Well it is one button for a long long time if you start from the ground up

I wasn't talking about Frost. I'm pretty sure the person calling mage FOTM wasn't either...

edit: or they were. I haven't seen that many Mages in the few BG's I did the last couple days, but I haven't been looking for them either.

It's always humorous to see the usual thought that some other class is easy overpowered one button dps while no doubt the people who toss such comments around think their own class is of course incredibly tough to play and requires "skill".


I don't pvp on my mage and haven't run a frost mage since vanilla where it was a good idea if you wanted to run Molten Core. I do pvp on my resto druid and have to say that seeing mages actually be able to live more than five seconds in the average fight warms my heart.

Well, I do play Mage and they are easy, they always have been and probably always will be. FOTM though, not really. They haven't changed all that much in Cataclysm. Their new talent trees are pretty nice, and the new Fire is...fun, but not really viable for single-target damage.

We I have been victim to them and seen the tactics with perhaps a bit less of a biased view than some here.
