Comment by popydo While active, your attacks strike an additional nearby opponent, but Energy regeneration is reduced by 30% 20%.\r

HALLELUYAH! 30% without glyph sucks in 5.0.4 Comment by Excelion Not a fan of the Mage Tier\/Challenge mode sets, but the PVP looks nice. :) I still think I'll roll with Mage\/Lock T3 from the BMAH. Comment by Sarydus Do these spell changes apply to the beta, or the live servers? Comment by Excelion Beta. Comment by flettino There currently on the live servers as we speak! :D Comment by stpaul So MoP is era of frost mages now? Friend told me frost mage was doing 90k on madness last night. And now they get more buffs ? Comment by Alkharon A nerf to a great amount of warlock spells? Mages getting buffed? I am appalled............. Comment by jrch5618 Ow... my 56 lock hurts looking at this. Comment by Interest Hm. I wonder if the fact nothing changed about the Aspects means they got put on their own global again...

One can hope anyways. It's going to happen. Comment by Voltt So MoP is era of frost mages now? Friend told me frost mage was doing 90k on madness last night. And now they get more buffs ?\r

I tried frost out in an LFR and was doing pretty !@#$ty dps. I switched to fire and did better. I'm sure I wasn't doing everything right, though, so who knows.

It is said Arcane will currently do the most at 90. Comment by Voltt So MoP is era of frost mages now? Friend told me frost mage was doing 90k on madness last night. And now they get more buffs ?\r

Oh, whoop-dee-freakin-do. Comment by Jessierp A nerf to a great amount of warlock spells? Mages getting buffed? I am appalled.............
I don't know if you noticed or not but Mana Attunement is the only solid buff Mages are getting. Ice Lance damage is only being increased on a single target by approximately 25 - 33 base damage + 2.8% SP which constitutes an increase of about 11.3% but reduces the second target's damage taken by 11.5% (at maximum damage using 10,000 SP). Basically, the 2.8% increase from SP isn't going to make up for the 10% loss from the equation. The other numbers are only changed so that it doesn't really affect their overall DPS for Ice Lance. Frost mages are indeed being nerfed according to the changes. However the buffed mana regeneration will now be on par with other casting classes but their frost bolt \/ ice lance \/ pet water bolt will do 3%, 6% and 9% less damage accordingly.

*edited to remove redundancies and for clarity* Comment by TomatoSauce I like that challenge mode set, the witchy hat with the purple eye is pretty.
