Blizzard
Hello Mages. In this week's build, we've made many changes to Arcane as well as a few updates to the other specs to address recent concerns about talents and GCD usage.
General Mage Changes- Spiegelbild damage greatly reduced, Frostblitz added to all Spiegelbild, and while your images are active, damage taken is reduced by 20%. Spiegelbild direct damage will cause one of your images to dissipate.
Developers' notes: The goal is to push Spiegelbild away from a DPS cooldown and give it a defensive component. Now, only taking direct damage will cause an image to dissipate and there is an ICD of 2 seconds to ensure at least a 6 second uptime when taking damage.
Rune der Kraft has been reworked to cast at your location when you use one of either
Einäschern,
Arkane Macht, or
Eisige Adern, depending on your spec.
- Developers' notes: This change is aimed to help with the cast time and GCD utilization at the beginning of an encounter, while remaining viable in your opener as a high burst window.
ArcaneThe following Arcane changes are focused on reducing ramp up time, as well as opening up more talent options based on the content you're running.
- Arkane Macht cooldown reduced to 2 minutes (was 3 minutes).
- Berührung der Magi now generates 4 Arcane Charges on cast.
- New Talent: Meister der Zeit – Reduces the cooldown of Alter Time by 30 seconds. Alter Time resets the cooldown of Blinzeln when you return to your original location.
- Alter Time has been moved to Level 24 for Arcane mages.
- Resonanz damage per target hit with Arkanbeschuss increased to 15% (was 10%).
- Aufgeladen removed.
Developers' notes: Berührung der Magi will now generate 4 charges baseline. This opens up the Level 35 tier for more viable options that focus heavily on dealing AoE damage.
New Level 35 Talent:
Arkanes Echo – Direct damage you deal to enemies affected by
Berührung der Magi, causes an explosion that deals Arcane damage to 8 nearby enemies.
Zeitanomalie now grants
Zeitkrümmung for 6 seconds.
- Developers' notes: A simple change, but this should make Zeitanomalie feel more satisfying as a talent since gaining Zeitkrümmung is always a good thing, but gaining Arcane Charges isn't something you'd always necessarily want.
FireFire updates are centered around the change that saw
Phönixflammen baseline as the
Entzünden spread.
- Phönixflammen damage increased and recharge time reduced, but no longer guarantees critical hits.
Developers' notes: Phönixflammen still interacts with Kampfeshitze, so it can benefit within the Einäschern window, but outside of that, it will primarily function as a way to spread your Entzünden.
Alexstraszas Zorn –
Drachenodem now also gains a 50% increased critical strike damage bonus.
New talent:
Aus der Asche – Increases Mastery by 2% for each charge of Phoenix Flames off cooldown, and your direct-damage critical strikes reduce its cooldown by 1 second.
