Mage pressure in a deep I imagine, but spriests burst with stars aligned isn't anything to snub.

I would say mage burst is always reliable on demand while sps are a bit more rng and pulling out the burst as a mage is much easier but when that rng mind blast hits it can global anything I have reached 70k mind blasts on my sp

mage is very fun to play in bgs, most bgs i dont even die because of the amount of CC i can do and how easy it is to get out of combat

priest has higher burst and is more fun to play imho if your considering rerolling.
The difference is that mages burst all the time while priests can only burst once so and so often. And its a lot harder to stop a mage from bursting as any melee can just sit on the tauren breed until he gets oxygen starved and dies.

With 4p t13 a Shadow can kill Everything (hi @ 60k Mind Spike Crits/75k+ Mind Blast) :<

But everything can kill a shadow too :D

Spriests and hunters have the highest potential burst in the game.

But you'll only see 60k mind blast crits with EVERYTHING up at once.

SP sucks, mage is faceroll...Go figure...i cant jump around and kite 2 melee while pulling out stupid damage...just saying.

Sp doesnt bring anything that mage cant do better (just look at cds) Only thing we got is defensive heals, which just make you run oom.
And defensive dispell, which just makes you run oom aswell...


And yes im !@#$ing tired of mages being so incredibly OP compared to SP
