Mage

↑Missile Barrage: This talent has moved to the first row and become a 2-point talent. It now also grants a chance for Arcane Missiles hits to trigger Missile Barrage.

↓Ice Lance damage against Frozen targets changed to a 200% increase (Was 300%).

✓Fixed an issue where Missile Barrage could reduce the cost and duration of a second Arcane Missiles cast.

✓Fixed an issue where Presence of Mind would not be consumed by spell casts.

✓Fixed various issues around Clearcasting. Clearingcast now correctly does not roll for every target struck by a spell. Clearcasting no longer has a chance to activate off of Dampen Magic and Amplify Magic. Clearcasting no longer has a chance to be activated by abilities cast when not in combat.

✓Fixed an issue where Ice Block was too transparent.

✓Fixed an issue preventing Frostbite and Fingers of Frost from activating from your Ice Armor and Frost Armor spells.

+New spell Frost Blast. 1.5 second cast. Deals low frost damage. Slows/chills. Benefits from talents that benefit Frostbolt.

↔Arcane Wrath: New 16-point gold medal talent. This new spell deals base damage similar to Fireball, with a 3.5 second cast, but also deals damage as if the Mage had additional Spell Power equal to 5% of the Mage’s maximum Mana. 6 second cooldown.

↔Arcane Blast: Redesigned. This spell is now a 1.5 second cast, and each time it is cast it grants the casting Mage 15% of their Intellect as additional Spell Damage. This effect also increases the cost of Arcane Blast as before and still stacks to 4 times. However, the effect now lasts 15 seconds from when it is first applied, instead of just until the next spell cast. Mana cost unchanged, but damage done and Spell Damage coefficients both reduced 40%.

↔Heating Up is no longer consumed if the Mage also had Presence of Mind active for the Pyroblast cast. Heating up also always gains an additional charge each time the Mage casts Fire Blast. This does mean Fire Blast critical strikes generate 2 charges.

↔Critical Mass: Mages can now spend up to 5 points in this talent for 10% total critical strike increase.

↔Frost Channeling now correctly reduces the Mage’s threat.

↔Wake of Fire: Talent reverted back to Improved Fire Blast and no longer grants a bonus when the Mage kills a target. It also now increases the range of Fireblast by 8/15 yards.

↔Fire Power: Redesigned. Now only 3 talent points. Increases damage done by Fire spells by 1/2/3% per the Mage’s Fire effects on the target, up to a maximum increase of 12%. Spells that mix multiple schools of magic do not grant this bonus.

↔Slightly changed the positioning of the spell visual for Cone of Cold.

↔Cone of Cold: Movement speed of the first 4 targets hit is decreased by an additional 10% and the slow lasts an additional 3 seconds on those targets.

↔Winter’s Chill change to: Gives your Frostbolt, Frost Blast, and Fingers of Frost empowered Ice Lance spells a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to apply Winter’s Chill, increasing the target’s damage taken from your next Cone of Cold by 5% and it gains an additional 7% of your spell damage, stacking up to 5 times.

↔Winter’s Chill: Redesigned. No longer increases critical strike chance. Instead, it causes Cone of Cold to deal 40% increase damage per stack of Winter’s Chill on the target, consumed by next Cone of Cold.

↓The number of charges of Combustion has returned to 3 (was 4).

↔Hot Streak has been renamed to Heating Up, since it is no longer dependent on having a ‘streak’.

↔Improved Scorch’s Fire Vulnerability will not roll a second time to see if it resists.

↔Winter’s Chill’s application does not roll to see if it is resisted, since the original spell needed to hit.

↑Wake of Fire buff duration has been increased to 30 seconds (was 20 seconds).

↑Hot Streak buff duration has been increased to 20 seconds (was 15 seconds).

↔Ignite no longer double dips on % damage increase modifiers.
