There's a vast difference between complaining and discussing. We're doing the latter. But if it feels like complaining, you're certainly entitled to ignore this thread and get on with your ever-important life. Also, I certainly hope the OP is still reading this, I'd hate for him to decide to roll a Spriest because he's been misinformed that they are OP, or to not roll a priest because he's been told that they're retarded OP.
Having the facts is better than anything.

so from what I gathered so far: everything but feral is garbage cuz 3,2k crit. Spriests suck, Fire mages Suck, Melee are gods except for rogues, hunters are in between. Does that pretty much sum 20-29 bracket?
Also for the last time, can someone explain to me why fire mages are bad? I tho that since they had scorch that u can use while moving + stacking 25%crit would be sufficient enough to get a lot of hot streak procs. Also they have blink + iceblook and nice cc with sheep. Do you literally do like 100 damage with scorch or?

Feral Druids: FoTM tier class w/ FB crits doing anywhere from 1.4k - 2k+ damage, plus ridiculous mobility and self heals
SPriests: Great tier class w/ consistent burst damage, silence on demand, decent self heals and can peel for self fairly well
Fire Mage: Eh, I never have seen them in BGs however; basing your character around RNG and crit even with scorch is sketchy. Generally you need 40-50% crit to really consider it being viable to PvE/PVP at end-game. However, Poly on demand, ice block, CS and any tier 1 talent makes mages in general a good class. Arcane and Frost would be better though imho
"Melee are Gods": Eh yes and no, feral druids, ret paladins, arms warriors, rogues, ww monks, bm monks, enhancement shaman (there may be others but those are the ones that stick out to me) are perfectly viable on holding their own against another player in arenas or bgs.
Fire Mages are okay, but there are better classes. Even if you can kite around people because; most people have snares, slows, stuns, move faster than you, open from stealth or have a form of CC that can be followed by another CC and after you pop your trinket. If you can't get room to lolspamscorch (implying you don't get fire locked) then you are dead, and if you get fire locked, rip anyway. As for how much damage you do with scorch, I don't know, I play fire mage 90 and a lock at 29 but I don't except scorch to hit harder than a hardcast pyroblast or fireball.

Hi
Ew no you wish we only did 1.4-2k crits or nobody would complain, my crits range 3.1k - 3.4k, cute how you underestimate us <3
Edit: I'm not even geared to get max FB hits, it can reach like 4.3k I've heard.

Literally the only caster worth playing @ 29 is a spriest.
If you make a 29 lock/mage/boomkin you're in for a bad time vs anyone halfway decent.

No, not really. Feral is significantly OP. Most everything else is reasonably balanced (when factoring class mechanics in addition to throughput numbers). You should roll whatever you want to roll and play with people who are willing to avoid playing Ferals.

I suspect fire does underwhelming damage and lacks the tools that make it a great spec at higher levels (Dragon's Breath, Combustion, ect). Also, you won't get anywhere close to 25% crit as a fire mage at this level. Most casters right now are likely sitting around 16% crit due to the removal of crit from intellect.

Hi
I quite revised my last statement about spriests, they are better then before because the glyph of mindless haunt? I think thats what it's called, as soon as i mind blast (first time) i cam cast devouring plague, 3 op dots and 2 big hits in 2 seconds.and sure CIHC lets meet in a bg sometimes, i dont go for clothies though <3

why firemages are terrible: not enough crit, 60 scorch noncrits(even pyro proc dmg is only "ok"), you dont need dragons breath/combustion/living bomb at this level,mages have more than enough utility at this level (which wont help if you need 100hours to kill something)

Mages need to do 50% more damage. From 1k shatter double crits to 1500.

Idd. My hope for my mage is the actual patch release. Hope some changes will be done.

To Every1 saying spricks are op - i agree That they are VERY strong in 3's and premades, but when it comes to 1v1 and 2v2, there is so much shit That is Way better. Spriests are probably one of the worst classes to Face a melee 1v1 since they Will never get damage Off and just die. In 2's when facing something where theyre being tunneled they Will almost be useless (unless Playing double dps going MB glyph for oneshot). With That being Said they are probably one og the strongest if not the strongest class in 3v3 and premades. They have strong dot pressure and time to build their orbs. So in my opinion you can only Call the class op in specific things.

Hi
Agreed 100% except against non-hybrids or healers, spriest should win 100%
