What would you think about a spell for mages that would allow for casting while moving. Maybe a Focus Casting.....Casts will not be inturrupted while moving or taking damage....30 sec duration 3 minute cooldown...would sure help out mages in some of the Ulduar and ToC boss fights. To OP or not?
yes, too OP.. if mages can cast while moving, every other caster class will want it. 30s for 3m cooldown is really a lot of uptime especially on longer fights. Also, it would completely destroy the purpose of some of the fight mechanics (ignus' flamejets, hodir's biting cold debuff etc)
Also, could you even consider the ramifications in pvp? arcane mages would become the FOTY and start owning everything in sight. 30s will allow you to cast arcane last about 5 times, and a missile all while staying outside of a warrior's juggernaut zone, or a DK's grip-zone? yeah right..
far... far too OP.

My personal pet peeve is Presence of Mind. I think it should be base line for all mages or just more easily talented.
Now one thing that we dont get and should is a version of the old DnD chain cast spells. Which are like macro spells saved into capsule of magic. Cant remember the exact name but it works something like you have to create the item before combat and when the item is unleashed it releases 1,2,3, or more spells one after the other. It can only hold a certain level of magic or else it becomes unstable. So you couldnt stack 3 Pyroblasts in it. You have to do something like Fireball, Frostbolt, Arcane Blast. Each spell would cost a gcd but basically be cast in 3 secs. With a 5-10min cd.
this is possibly the sexiest post i've seen on the mage forums in a long time.
true, but other casters, Locks and Spriests also have hots they cast while on the run.....so does this not even out...maybe not 30 sec ...like 15? I was also thinking for more of a fire talent maybe down in the tree. This would allow TTW a CD which could help in those exact boss fights where mages dps is middle of the pack. 30 sec is to long. How bout instead of COMBUSTION (worst spell ever)
i think you meant dots for locks and spriests, not hots, but anyway.
combustion is getting changed.. and it's quite a sexy change as well. :) Read mmo-champion.com to find out the exact wording, cause it fails me at the moment.
Anyway.. Locks, even as affliction, have about 2 things they can drop on you without cast time.. a curse of some kind and corruption.. Haunt has a cast time, unstable affliction has a cast time, immolate has a cast time, seed of corruption has a cast time, etc etc. And since they can only have one -curse- on you at a time, it would either be curse of agony, curse of doom, curse of exhaustion, or curse of elements, depending on the circumstance... mayyyybe curse of tongues. Shadow priests have shadow word pain, shadow word death (which hurts them as well if it doesn't kill you),
edit: i forgot vampiric touch.. d'oh!
