Casters getting MS!

[Fat Tire]

Well 2 anyways, but I think we will see it on all casters deep talents eventually.


Empowered Frostbolt now also reduces the target's healing received by 7/13/20%.



Improved Mind Blast has an additional effect - while in Shadowform your
Mind Blast also has a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to reduce all healing
done to the target by 20% for 10 sec.

Great, just what they needed. Mages are already pretty damn powerful in arena's. The shadowpriest one, I can see that.

RMP combo's just got even more powerful

This is the stupidest shit I've ever heard.

FFS STOP ADDING SHIT TO THIS GAME.... START TAKING SHIT AWAY AGAIN !!!!

I remember bitching about the new shit when wrath came out. Hunters getting spell deflect like warriors, Dks getting spell immune etc etc. I said "Give it a year and every class will have every mechanic." Well here it comes.

And also.. even if I was in favor of this... don't even ask how they think it's balanced to give ONLY a couple casters MS. Why not give it to everyone? BETTER YET.. JUST REMOVE THE FUCKIN MECHANIC ALTOGETHER and buff existing mechanics to create balance.


GRRRRR......

What does MS mean?

[Extreme]

improoved blizzard = aoe 20% ms effect .. woohoo + FoK rogue = dead²


edit: a MS-effect means "Mortal Strike" it's a debuff which reduced the gained healing by 50%, atm only hunters (aimed shot) warrios (mortal strike) and rogues (wound poison) have this ability, with patch 3.2 frostmages an shadowpriest will get this ability (but only 20% not 50%) too.

Movement speed? Im still confused.

[dizz]

MS=Mortal Strike

Well, this is on Test Realm.
Nothing there is guaranteed to go live.
At the same time, anything there is a consideration to go live, so maybe.

The two classes might be an experiment...
Time will tell.

beyond retarded to give it to mages. seriously, they did not need a buff!

edit: why don't they just auto debuff everyone in arena to receive only 50% healing and call it a day?

An easier solution might be dropping down melee MS to 30%, giving it to Ret/DK also and then giving 20% to casters and letting them stack to a max of 50%. This would get rid of cleave and you would see alot more caster/melee/healer teams. Alot more variety in possible comps.

That seems like a great idea! Should post it on the forums, although anything posted there gets pushed off the first page quickly.
