The Enigma Order

I forsee an endless wall of mocking and luaghing in mages' faces very soon. A well deserved one. Hell, I'll gladly start myself (make sure to read to the end!).

It's just devastating that in order to top dps meters you are forced to respec. Downright blasphemous! And the spec you got used to and geared for is now not miles ahead of the pack but in the middle of it? Just bad, espeically provided it will in fact end up higher than middle, due to splash damage. Worse thing still is that mages now only occupy 2 spots out of the top 3 simmed dps. The end is near. I laugh particularly hard at the part about top guilds believing mages useless and (careful now!) bringing elemental shamans in instead!

That's a whole new candidate to the "clueless person of the year" reward.

Now on a more serious note, since the above is just a mild case of mocking. Nerf to fire is well deserved and no one (neither Ensi nor the author of the post) questions that. Similarly, nerf to mistweaving monks was well deserved. That the new configurations require different statistics is not really a concern in my opinion. It's the fact that they took away the fun factor that sucks. And with this argument (which is the only one that made sense in the quoted post to me) I fully agree. Right now, when I heal in 25 raids on my monk, I feel like I'm in fact pretending, like a class with non-defined purpose trying to fool others that he's a healer. If fire mages feel alike, I can relate.

Objectively speaking the spec balance is better this way.
Now we actually have two useful specs instead of just one and rune arcane is fairly compatible with invocation frost when it comes to stat priorities.

All to balance pvp  i mean i dont like geting hit by frostbombs for 170k  ... ... ..
