2 minute cooldown though, which was only to be expected. It does rather save having one of each rank of gem taking up bagspace though.

AoE, that's why.  We wouldn't have even got to atttempt Akil'zon without either a mage or warlock in the raid and later on there is at least one boss where we'd be totally screwed without AoE.

Rogues and hunters will out DPS you on single targets, you have AoE.  A bit less DPS on a single target is not often raid breaking but no AoE when you need it is.

Plus decursing, decursing mages make healers breathe easier

..except warlocks can AoE pretty much up there with mages too.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to qq in the mage forums and threaten to cancel my account, I'm just going to leave Fortuna alone until they make him fun again.

I just think it's a little sad that the class has basically been told "if you want to PvE you need to be fire, if you want to PvP you need to be frost", rather than fixing the problems with the class (arguably it's become more of a novelty class to bring along for the food/water in light of the silly DPS numbers that locks and hunters are now putting out etc etc.

I hope they can make the class fun again, I really do. I loved the class when I was levelling it but the fun just isn't there for me at the moment, and that's why he's having a break.


as lock you have to be affliction to do uber dmg up to bt where dest takes over, not much choice there.
demo is also the only working for pvp

Or levelling... though affliction is good there too, but demo worked well for a lock/mage combo... had a tank that way
