Ghost Hit Gone for Wrath

Yep, the advantage that Frost Mages had over Fire Mages in the Spell Hit column will be gone with the release of Wrath of the Lich King or possibly the next patch coming this Tuesday. The Ghost Hit was the extra Spell Hit Frost Mages recieved, which gave them an extra 3% Spell Hit from [...]

WotLK: Build 9014 – No Damage on Deep Freeze

More tweaking and tinkering done by Blizzard, and they have come up with another build, the WotLK Beta Build 9014. This time from a mix from WorldofRaids.com and MMO-Champion.com, I have come up with a revised list of changes from this new beta build. Here is a look at the new changes for our Mage [...]

WotLK Beta: Aesthetic Change for Mages

Following up from my previous post about some general aesthetic changes, I will now talk about some specific aesthetic change for Mages. Just to clarify some things, aesthetic changes are changes in a spell or animation which have no major impact in the original spell mechanic. Pretty much means a change in the way it [...]

WotLK Beta: Aesthetic Changes

WotLK Beta: Aesthetic Changes

There are many things that Blizzard has put into the game to make your character different from the rest of the WoW population. Aside from how you made your character look when you first created him or her, WoW in the current form, has included other ways to make your character “stand out” from the [...]

WotLK Beta Testing: Focus Magic

WotLK Beta Testing: Focus Magic

Next up is the 11 Point Arcane Talent: Focus Magic. This talent gives the Mage another raid utility, and gives the raid another reason to bring a Mage. I also updated my posts on Mirror Image, Fingers of Frost, and Blizzard. 9/10/2008 When cast, the Focus Magic buff is applied to EVERY raid member, pet, [...]

WotLK Beta Testing: Blizzard

WotLK Beta Testing: Blizzard

I’ve already talked a bit about how Blizzard was affected by Fingers of Frost in an earlier post, now I will show it to you. I also loaded some mods onto the Beta account, so now I have Recount to record some data while I am testing out some stuff. As you may know by [...]

WotLK Beta Testing: Mirror Image

Mirror Image has been confirmed to be the new level 80 Mage spell for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. After Blizzard removed Shatter Shield as our level 80 spell, we were without a new spell for quite some time. Mirror Image is the new spell, and it is pretty good. The images work [...]

WotLK Beta Testing: Fingers of Frost

WotLK Beta Testing: Fingers of Frost

Now that I am in the WotLK Beta, I can test out all the new spells and their mechanics for all to see. So far I’ve only got an hour of testing in before fatigue kicked in, and servers are down. I will make a post for each individual spell, and update each post as [...]

Finally a Beta Key!

It is about damn time too! I’ve been drooling over screen shots and updates provided by MMO-Champion.com pretty much every week, and now I can finally experience it for myself. Although pretty much all the new Mage spells as been tested by other players already, but I will still like to see it first hand. [...]

WotLK Beta: The Fall of Humanity

As you may already know from MMO-Champion’s Blues Tracker, we’ll be seeing some updates to the Racial Abilities in WotLK. I’ve always thought they should have updated this a long time ago, but hey, better late than never. You can also see the original WotLK Beta forum post here. One Racial Ability in particular caught [...]

WotLK: Build 8905 – Mirror Image

The new WotLK Beta test build is out, Build 8905, along with some interesting new Mage changes. Once again, MMO-Champion.com was quick to lets the world know of the news, and has updated the talent trees to reflect the changes. Some of the new changes are just rewording of the text of the talents for [...]

WotLK Beta: Mirror Image

The WotLK Beta has changed builds once again, and is currently at Build 8788. There were only two changes to the talents this time. A change to Torment the Weak and a change to Fingers of Frost. The biggest chance however is a brand new spell to replace our Shatter Shield spell, which was replaced [...]
