Fire Mages got burnt at the stake this update while Frost Mages ride off into the sunset

And yet they’re still fine. Much like the Life Staff.

Nerfing something doesn’t inherently make it bad.

Entombed is bugged and gets instantly destroyed by everything, so IG users aren’t doing so hot either.

All true but it Fire mages should be buffed, not Ice nerfed.

Ice has major nerf this patch with changes to Ultimate Chill and Weakening Gust. It is a 25% dmg nerf to the major IG builds. Pylon build was nerfed as well.

Lol, the problem with the fire staff is if you buff it anymore it will be too overpowered.

I’d say I’m a skilled PvP player and my biggest fear is always a skilled mage player. I’m fine running into any other class.

Stop complaining and get better.

Wait what?
This is actually the biggest patch for IG users and you have the guts to say that it is still overpowerd?

If you knew why the IG was good to begin with you would know that it is heavily nerfed this patch.

ice gauntlet doesn’t even have 3 useful abilities lol

ICE should not be nerfed. it is nerfed enough.
Its Fire should be buffed to be in pair with rest of weapons.

Relax people, I’m a bit disappointed no one figured out this post was sarcasm.

Just find it funny mages have been nerfed so hard into the ground, while muskets and bows were left alone :rofl::joy:

Mages are now crap. With all movment related builds all range builds got hit, but mages especialy. Now any mele does destroy mages with small amount of skill. And builds like GA/hatchet or SS/hatchter are unbeatable to mages since moment they close distance you cant get it back.

But well players did say that. Ags just does not give a f…

ye i was confused aswell lol

ice gauntlet was gutted so hard it’s just there for a bit aoe dmg and entombed atm…

congrats, however, the game is based around group play in every game mode so this is irrelevant. It means nothing.

Isn’t it dangerous for frost mages to ride off into the sunset?

If losing the ability to keep the empower from meteor shower after weapon swap is the thing that makes “the firestaff is unplayable” for you. Then… i have bad news for you. And its not the firestaff.

Every change is “oh no its unplayable now” i played FS/IG through the 25 simultaneous nerfs they got in october. No single change is going to be nearly as bad as that. Ever.

This is banana’s. Your build needs help.

I was told this is an intended change? Or is it in fact a bug?

Its 100% a bug. Entombed should have its own health pool but gets destroyed like the quest widgets currently

Yea I know, I was told it was an intended change? Not a bug.

Theres nothing in patch notes. So definitely not intended change. Something that major woulda been stated and it worked fine previously on ptr

fellow Mages, when did they touch Punishing Storm and limited it to max 5 Targets ?
