It's nice to see they're making it easier and easier for a Mage to wax a Priest. How about making it possible for a Priest to get off a heal or DD spell BEFORE being interrupted by every other class in the game?

Are they serious? I now have even less of a chance at beating a frost mage -.- Increased cast speed is the last thing frost mages need and giving PoM pyro mages the chance to ice block if I somehow don't die in the first 2 seconds is just wrong. I won't even get started about how 3 charges per mana gem is balanced in arena either.

This sucks. Hard.

This is what I wonder..

Cold snap replaces Ice block on talent tree.
Icy veins replaces Cold snap on talent tree.

That's 2 talents that have either changed positions or are new. Yes, both spots are a 1-point talent. Do mages get a free talent tree redo? or have to pay for it. Who knows, maybe there are those crazy frost mages that don't want the icy veins.

for all you people saying this is a bad change... PVP is not the only thing in wow, my mage gets his ass kicked by alot of other classes... and i can kick their asses too, it all depends on your skill, there are going to be noob mages that anybody can kill them. it all depends on skill, if u complain mages are too hard, get a different tactic! these people complaining are really annoying "omgggggg <class> is gonna be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo overpowered!!!!!", pvp is all about skill.
kickass change to mages too, ice block will be really helpful to fire mages and arcane mages, but frost ftw.

How does Ice Block make mages harder to kill in PvP? They're permenantly locked in place without the ability to move or cast... just wait for the block to dispel and pummel them. Odds are this will give you time to get a couple other guys to gang up on the poor mage.

Somebody's bound to mention cooldowns, so I'll address that. Ice Block is, what, 20 seconds? The only cooldowns that could help is Frost Nova and Ice Shield, which is still a Frost Talent.

All this will do is make it easier for Arcane & Fire mages to survive in PvE groups, and considering how much threat they cause this is a very good thing.
