Someone in Blizzard is definitely playing mage. Also druids needs to be nerfed to ground
Fire mage's bloated op toolkit needs to be pruned.A hyper mobile ranged spec shouldn't be a tank. Cauterize needs to be a 10 or 20 min cooldown, up from 5 (!). Alter Time needs to not heal and merely be a mobility cooldown and the Mirror image dmg reduction change should be reversed as well. Which would sitll leave them with a cheat death effect and an immunity on top of that, combined with a short cd shield. They are ridicilously overpowered and the community needs to wake up and demand balance. Playing a Fire mage is like having a cheat code enabled. You need to screw up very, very badly to die compared to other classes. It's not fair. Some classes can and should be tankier than others, but it shouldn't be one of the most mobile ranged dps spec in the game that is tankier than literally every other one.
You forgot to mention other MM defensives in the form on conduits, especially hunters mark for 1 target and feign death for a small DR. In fact those 2 are shared amoung all hunters but still.
"The meta ranged specs"*proceeds to post graphics without specs
DPS players crying about not getting invited into keys, yet never open their own keys..Also funny to see this debate from the outside. I can pretty much play 24/7 with a decent scored Healer and Tank. No issues. Yet nobody wants to play these roles, because they cant do "THE BIG NUMBAS" and Burst 100k with 3 buttons. Your issue. From tank and heal perspective every dps players applying is first and foremost trash. There are countless applying in your groups, every class, high scored or low scored and you have the free pick. Of course we go with classes which make keys easier for that week. Yet I dont think people with high enough score have any issues getting into high keys with warriors or shamans for example ;)
Are u surprised ppl like to play a game on easy mode? Cus thats basically all ranged is this xpac, EZ Mode.
Melee got two full expansions of being meta, but that wasn't good enough. One season when ranged finally get to dominate and it's a vast sea of melee tears and conspiracies.
