Comment by dblanch369That’s great and all but what about the dang warband bank! And the broken trading too!Comment by peach774That’s great and all but what about the dang warband bank! And the broken trading too!Comment by uchihayuiAs I expected, they will overbuff Rogues to hide the bad design of the hero talents. =(Comment by KfcmasterDo the Rogue devs not play Assassination? Ambush from stealth is so counterintuitive to the rotation I don't get why they insist on basing an entire hero tree on it.Comment by MarkElfMage needs more nerfs.Comment by BuffFireMageMage needs more buffs.Comment by XaethronThe Rogues number tuning is literally useless so long as the trees remain as they are. Each tuning iteration is just a slap in the face as none of the real problems are being fixed.

0 Communication all of Beta.Comment by cheesystuff"Mage nerf"
It's literally just fireComment by SeahnjinOh my god, ENOUGH with the Deathstalker tuning. They're just papering over the big gaping hole that is making the whole tree revolve around using Ambush in stealth when it should be GARROTE. THAT'S the button we Assassination Rogues press when we're in stealth, especially in AOE – why even bother with that Fan of Knives talent? Have these devs ever played the spec? Are we meant to talent Subterfuge to even function in single target? Why is this farce of a hero talent tree going live? I have so many questions holy hellComment by LeowulfDruid fixes soon for sure!Comment by DekardcaiinThat's some great newsComment by Wired11Please. Just change Deathstalker for Assassination to work with Garrote. That’s all I ask. It would fix so much. It doesn’t make much sense to really hit ambush as assassination.Comment by bretryanoMage needs more nerfs.Comment by p00pyjoelRIP FIRE, huge nerfs lolComment by tmptfateAre those Mage (Frost) changes buffs, nerfs, or just tool tip corrections? I can't tell.Comment by SeriousPvPNot harsh enough for PvP Fire Mages imo. Had a Fire Mage do 288M damage in a WSG yesterday. 144M of that was just Ignite DoT damage. Insane.Comment by KathgorAny smarter than us can tell us if those frost changes are nerfs or buffs?Comment by AlustrielWell, this post was for beta changes, but since readers/posters rarely register that, it is okay to go off topic it seems.

Pre-patch changes on mages are not overly good from my point of view as an arcane player, while only frost and fire have been effected in the beta, will they continue to make more poor choices and nerf and break mages again? No idea, I'll have to wait and see when the end of August arrives.Comment by AuzsiGood, now more mage nerfs please.Comment by facelesspwdJust rework all HERO talents !
Remove Slice and dice bring Cut to the Chase
Bring back spell like
shadow-reflection
Summon a shadow of yourself on the target that will watch you and memorize your damaging ability usage for the next 8 sec. After this time, it will mimic the memorized abilities on its target over the next 8 sec.

or

Death from Above
not only for PVP bring back and get for 7 target and increase dmg

Be creative ...
in my opinion hunters, DK need more nerf than mage
