Comment by evanbloom \u201dand we started to wonder how a spell supposedly combining frost and fire wasn\u2019t just producing a puddle of water at the feet of the enemy\u201d\r

--- because MAGIC! Sigh, I really enjoyed the fantasy of Frostfire Bolt on my Frost mage :( Comment by Tyrtun Glacial spike seems like an awesome ability, can't wait to see it in action :P Comment by Ryeno The changes to Inferno Blast seem like a good change, I can't wait to see how it feels. Frost will always be good. And the Glacial Spike seems OP xD Comment by bbqnow neat Comment by Vilenjak removed Frostfire Bolt ? replaced with 1 min frost orb come on. I love Frostfire Bolt. this is bull&*!@. What is frost becoming 2 button spec cast frostbolt ice lance repeat .... disapointing really Comment by lankybrit Note: This is not Blizzcon coverage now folks. So no stupid just commenting trying to get extra entries to the contest. Actually comment on the content now. Comment by Maelchav This makes it really tempting to dust off my mage! I have a feeling these posts are going to give me the same feeling about all my alts. Comment by Random0223 I will have to actually start playing my frost mage again.... love the lore with each spec. Comment by Lamex as fire mage i kinda dissapointed in heating up changes x< sob sob sob Comment by mikeyrandell removed Frostfire Bolt ? replaced with 1 min frost orb come on. I love Frostfire Bolt. this is bull&*!@. What is frost becoming 2 button spec cast frostbolt ice lance repeat .... disapointing really\r

You never really cast Frostfire Bolt outside of Brain Freeze procs anyway, which will now cause Frozen Orb's cd to reset, so it's basically the same thing, only with a different spell--one that actually does aoe damage, giving us something other than a slightly different version of Frostbolt to put in our rotation instead. Comment by Fenopy Hmm I love my current proc-spamming frost mage. I will really miss the multistrike and the possibility to save icelance procs AND frostfirebolt procs to do huge tons of burst as i need it :\/. I don't really understand Blizzards comparison of multistrike with crit because i think multistrike comes along with some really nice features as "on hit" effects can do a lot better with multistrike (but sry wrong topic here).\r

I surely will continue to play a mage, because thats my nindo (little naruto in here^^) but it might put me in the situation to struggle finding my "new" favourite mage spec. And especially this struggle hits me hart, knowing that the artefact weapons are spec specific and need a lot of work to regrow for alt specs. Comment by FreeZeMaN55 As a mage, I'm really glad with these changes. I just hope that with the removal of major glyphs, ice lance can still cleave, maybe a artifact talent.
And if they really give you the option of 3 specs I'll definitely play all 3 =D
Although:
1 - Frost <3
2 - Arcane
3 - Fire Comment by Draccy Glacial Spike makes me think of that move Glinda Goodwitch used in RWBY. When she collected all the debris, or whatever, and sent it back at the copter machine. Comment by Maldrax "These mages take pride\u2014even pleasure\u2014in igniting their enemies in wild bursts of flame"

Well played. I always giggle a little like a freaking pyromaniac when I spread my Living Bombs and big Ignites all over my enemies and watch them burn and explode. But to be honest, I am a little sad about that combustion rework. I just prefer one big well-played FWOOOOOSH and spread it everywhere over ability to shoot few more boulders of fire at my enemy because of that Crit Chance. We will see how it will work out.

EDIT : Also thanks for 2 stacks of IB. Loved it as a Tier Set Bonus ^^ Comment by Fenopy removed Frostfire Bolt ? replaced with 1 min frost orb come on. I love Frostfire Bolt. this is bull&*!@. What is frost becoming 2 button spec cast frostbolt ice lance repeat .... disapointing really\r

I personally don't agree with that opinion. In my opinion BrainFreeze procs with frostfirebolt just feel more epic and versatile because you can fire them at spread out different enemies and adds. In addition to that, the possibility to store Brain Freeze Procs for additional burst or just for short fights seem to be more useful in my opinion.\r
\r
A cooldown reduction which triggers almost not noticed just does not feel as good as "real" spell procs to fire in the first way, but as long as there is not practical opportunity to see the specs rollin in the real game everything is just pur theory and numbers never do their work pretty well :P (damn numbers) Comment by Runaetus uff looks like mana is a thing again? Comment by SurvivalHunter So will Frost mages still have an elemental? Comment by Gaboori So will Frost mages still have an elemental?

Looks like it will, since the mastery increases the Elemental's damage. Comment by SurvivalHunter D'OH! Completely missed that part. Comment by Zadeth Used my 100 Legion boost to get a mage, nice to see the changes to Arcane. :)
