You win blizzard I give up on mage... 11/16/2010 11:07:14 PM PST
Moncheche

Okay....so this patch we are nerfed again....yet in a BG a pallies shield is crit hitting me for 6k when he is lvl 75. A rogue is dominating BG from lvl 10 on.....and now I blink is so bugged I cannot blink out of any of the 1000 stuns you give other classes....so I quit....3 lvls from 80 and I am so sick of this. Whenever mages get a boost up to the damage that we should be doing you listen to ever other class and nerf us. Don't worry about 29 rogues ambushing in BGs for 3k...no that is not a problem, the problem is a mage at 77 has a spell that at 2.5 sec cast time might crit for 5k. Don't worry about pallies one shotting people with the shield at 29....nope....mages can possibly get the time to get 4 AB stored up. You wanna make things fair?? Okay how about this....

1. Any stun....don't care if it is a pally hammer or sap or cheap shot or kidney shot or charge or (seeing the point here?) gets immediately dropped when you damage the stunned victim.
2. Drop the saving grace from vanish and make it a 50's spell....heck you made Blizzard that high!
3. FIX BLINK!! It has been bugged since day 1....
4. If you are going to reduce our damage then reduce our casting time
5. Let spellsteal steal any buff...not limited to (OMG you cannot steal a pally bubble)....

I could go on....but why? Seriously....you ain't going to fix it...so I just going to lvl a pally, lock or rogue since those classes are apparantly all you care about

Naturally he gets a few "WTF are you talking about?!" to which he replies:

I wish...I really wish it was something that I am not seeing or doing....

It might even be the fact that I am not lvl 80.....but when you get so fed up with not being able to do anything until lvl 80...it gets depressing.

Life in this game starts at lvl 1, not 80. Pre-80 you aren't going to BG....period. Oh sure you can, but don't expect to do anything. Either your dead before you can get the spell off...or whatever you are casting at is dead before the spell goes off. This even applies to dungeons as well. Sure on Bosses we get some decent DPS, but trash mobs you aren't going to touch with anything but instant cast.

There isn't a class that I can duel pre-80 that won't stomp a mudhole in me, unless that person is either afk or braindead.

Warriors.....we cannot get away from, might gain a few secs if your frost spec'd....but thats it.

Rogues....forget it....ambush, vanish, ambush....your dead

Pally...don't try, your either fighting a stun/shield, or a holy one that just uses his seals to heal himself up without being able to counterspell it.

Priest...dot you up, fear, heal, repeat

Druid...Cat form....then see rogues entry

Locks.....you aren't getting a non-instant spell off....forget it

DK....about the same as warriors, just a lil faster to grave

Shaman....well our aoes hit everything.....oh wait....totems don't take aoes since they aren't...wait....why again wouldn't a totem get hit with an aoe....oh right....totems are apparently in a magical world where aoe hit everything but them.

hunters.....ya i got poly off on pet....but now I'm dead.....oh I got the hunter poly'd.....but now I'm dead from the pet....


So again....without bringing UI's or any outside programs into the game....how does a mage survive??

The following response could definitely come in handy!

Give Me a Numer

wtfismygs.com is really a site!!! *rofl* It's actually pretty compact and has nice mouse-overs for raid achievements. Wow-Heroes still wins with tracking both specs and gear details.

If Only They Were All This Fat

This pumpkin wasn't simply loot-filled, it was about to explode!!

Mildly Innappropriate

So someone on vent was laughing at one of the deaths, saying “You got so duffed on that.” Was a term I'd never heard of yet before I could ask, one of the Aussies chimed in with, “Duffed means something pretty different down here.” So I was off to Urban Dictionary where I copied the second, hilarious definition into raid chat:

Duffed (v) - The act of getting used and or manipulated by an attractive, mentally unstable person of the opposite sex. Unfortunately this includes an abundance of flirting, profound mixed messages, and sexual innuendos that don't actually lead to SEX, merely the illusion that it will. The Duff usually ends by the Duff-er getting back together with their original girl/boyfriend, leaving the duff-ee with a killer case of blue balls/dry-gina.

Definitely caused the raid to skip a beat but was worth it.

Porn is Everywhere

During my Ahune runs I was grouped with a Mage named Seancody. Did end up sending him a whisper:



After I'd left the group I realized the question was a little vague. Turns out the Armory currently lists sixteen toons named Seancody. I wonder how many of them realize that's the name of one of my favorite gay pornagraphers.

Questing into 74 and Dalaran

Thought not very challenging, Sloosh (1280497xp/1571800xp) went back to back the Howling Fjord to quest. Some of the quests were green yet the XP granted was still over 20k. Got the lines around Westgarde done then went South to Scalawag Point. Was really nice already having the Fort Wildervar FP so I picked up a few there.

People are still assholes and I'm happily one of them. Like when I was staking out Bjomolf's spawn for Brother Betrayers there was a Pally waiting to Consecrate. Naturally it spawns further away so I tag with Shadow Word: Death then Larac decided to invite me to a group. I almost decided not to Accept but I did. The drop rate for The Fragrance of Money sucked so I pulled three bears at once, easily DoT/Flaying them down. Another Shadow Priest, Darcspirit, came up and spit on me! *giggle* I let her watch in amazement/annoyance as I solo'd The Jig is Up. She got no invite on that one.

Most of the questing was pretty chill and relaxing. Scare the Guano Out of Them! was tedious so I shielded and feared to collect the shit. Leader of the Deranged was cake because people had cleared a path for me (Take North entry above the EE in Keep down then turn Right (West) to get to the cave) so I waited less than a minute for the spawn. There was a Warrior, Zakniel, running around ahead of me so Mission: Eternal Flame was easy to complete (and I gave him a Fortitude and Renew by way of thanks). The drop rate for The Yeti Next Door was sucky but I was doing Preying Upon the Weak at the same time. Was even rewarded by one of the spawned Prowling Worgs with my first BoE Blue drop: Mendicant's Robe of Mendacity.

Getting late in the evening and I had leveled off exploration experience… of Gjalerbron! Happened to be passing through Valgarde when I noticed a new quest giver on the top floor of the Inn. It was Archmage Hooper offering me a free port to Dalaran! I figured I would have to make the run from Windrunner's Overlook yet it was as simple as getting this quest and letting him port me. Once there there's a quest to show you how to port down to Crystalsong Forest. Wandered around and asked a guard where the City portals are, bound myself at the Alliance Inn, then headed down to the sewers to do my daily cooking quest (The Pot mentioned in the quest is placed in your inventory and is not found in the kitchen or sewers *sigh*) and pick up my Ghostly Skull.

Sloosh is at 100/130 quests in Howling Fjord so I plan to finish them off tomorrow then resume work in the Dragonblight.

The Huddled Masses

With the flood of levelers, General Chat in the starter zones is back to trash talking. Normally I tune it out but sometimes I’ll catch a gem:

Random_01: Oh admit it. You all need women.
Random_02: Nah. I’d rather watch two women while I level. srsly.
Ronnokk: Women come and go, but epics are soulbound.
Falannin: Spoken like a true virgin.
Random_03: I actually prefer women that come and go.

Lovely.

Going to be a Bumpy Ride

That's pretty classic. I wonder if it was free Shaman gear again.
