Every mage is arcane

Post#1 » Sun Aug 23, 2026 7:56 am

Every single mage is arcane, even in MC where frost would make sense it's also arcane - https://octo.chronicleclassic.com/leade ... class=MAGE

Maybe add something cool like a water elemental to frost, for Fire i think it needs a major overhaul as it's totally underrepresented.

Sounds reasonable. From a fantasy and class (spec) representation perspective, I believe I concur.

This is an exaggeration. I have played with several fire and frost mages. That said, I believe that all three should have 1 more spell added with Arcane's new spell being the least impactful.

Honestly, could be cool with a custom fire elemental ability for fire - always wanted that =)

ya frost probably needs something to differenciate it from the other 2 specs. frost elemenetal would be dope. or maybe some unique applied raid debuff or something. fire gets fine later on but ofc its not as good in MC/BWL for obvious reasons lol. maybe they could reduce the fire immunities on some of the mobs or something. Or give some spell penetration on a fire talent.

In order to be Frost and get ice-cycles to proc, you need to be in 10 yards or less. Meaning the mage is more like Melee. That leads to many issues.
