* Arcane Blast effect duration reduced to 3 seconds, now increases damage by 15/30/45% instead of reducing cast time. (Source)
* Mages are still in line for more changes, most of them are talent oriented so it's not really as easy to copy and paste for you. The talent calculator should be updated soon, though. (Source)



From a blue post full info can be found here on mmmo-champion

Sounds like they don't want to list it so it could be a fair amount.

admittedly I haven't checked if this has already been posted, it may allay some fears and it may be old news, so apologies if it is.

Mage
Changing Mana Shield - We're talking about it... (Source)
Living Bomb - We've considered giving it a knock back or *ahem* "knock up" but we felt that probably wouldn't be desired for what Living Bomb is made for. It works for Thunderstorm (Elemental Shaman Talent) because Shaman's aren't an AOE class, and because it's cooldown controlled. I don't think we're done yet with Living Bomb, just not completely sure with what we want with it yet. (Source)
We nuked Shatter Shield and put it into a talent instead (as you've noticed). The new Mage ability has yet to be unveiled...

That sound like something I tell my boss when I haven't even started on something and don't intend to.


edit for typos as usual.

I'm atm a very sceptical person when it comes to bizzard balancing anything, or doing something they promise.

Its pretty laughable how any healer can kill a amge, if he has some kind of obstackle to run around, droods and resto shammy don't even need that. To be able to beat rogues you need the best equip you can get and a lot of skills, also mobs are a disadvantage for the mage due to aoe spells. And then with all CDs up you beat him 2 times out of 10 maybe, same with good warlocks. So now I really am a bit scared the the new mage ability yet to be unveiled is crap.

Hopefully a nuke that returns health or mana and sends the target fleeing in horror....That would be nice...
