A good reason why I believe mages are now the worst class because they have to either sacrifice a good deal of HP for any semblance of DPS or visa versa.
All things being =, a mages ability to kite/DPS their opponent was severally diminished when leg kits were nerfed.
If timed right a melee DPS can trinket a frost nova and DPS a mage down before next frost nova is up. As I said b4.. all things being =, a melee shouldn't allow a mage to sheep him to stop the burst damage.
As long as 19 mages have to stand and cast 2+ sec. frost/fire bolts for DPS they will only be used as utility. Not even that since most defense are kiting/travel form ones.
Along with rogues who I think are the 2nd worst class, they have been left alone in the dust while other classes who have received buffs over the past several patches are more viable and can be utilized in more ways than these two.
you act like people that play mages care about killing their opponents. I seriously doubt you have played a frost mage at 19. I could care less if I kill someone and I also don't care if 2-3 people focus me and kill me, Mages take a completely different mindset to play in this bracket. Their goal is to CC and they are arguably the best class at this and a desireable premade class to have. Mages are stacking so much stamina now it is rediculous, a finished mage should be rolling with about 1700hp and 1300 mana which is more than enough mana for premades.
