Because of a previously implemented rank through book drops for frostbolt, rank 12 is the way it is to bring the power increase for frostbolt back in line with leveling progression, not with former level 60 cap progression.

Q u o t e:
Rank 11 Frostbolt is a book drop. Rank 12, like most other ranks, is available from a trainer. The players this would impact the most are people who've gotten the book, which then don't really need the trainable 'upgrade' at that moment. Those without the book drop are moving along the graded increase of frostbolt's power.

Consider Rank 11 a vestigal growth, like an appendix or ear muscles. ;)


Given that all Mages will have rank 11 at lvl62 that is a load full. That means all mages will have this weak and horrible rank and never use it. So I hope you all at Blizzard are aware that the only rank that will be used is rank 11 once we get to lvl62 and then rank 12 only for one lvl at lvl68 then its off to rank 13 at lvl69.


Q u o t e:
"I might mention that with Mages getting invisibility, the composition of the "stealth" group might be expanded beyond with Rogues and Druids. "

I'm not sure what game you're playing, but I definitely remember getting my Frostbolt 11 from the trainer after patch 2.0.

If it helps I'm happy to say it, DoTs were (and some/all possibly still are) OP.

Um... It used to be an AQ book drop only, but you guys made it trainable with the new talents. So therefore it is a trainable spell.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ever since the patch that introduced 41pt. talent trees haven't the book drops been trainable as well?

Divide by 0.
Oh, shi-!

Didn't they add all the drop-only spells to the trainers? Pretty sure I got the AQ20 rank of Revenge and also Holy Light from the trainer... ?

edit: guess like 57 other people already jumped in ahead of me...

Then why does this only apply to Frostbolt and not something like Eviscerate, which is learned at the same levels as Frostbolt and was also a book drop.

Also, if I'm not mistaken trainers do train Frostbolt 11 now. Same for Eviscerate 9.

Does this mean the next rank of food for mages is gonna be gimp compared to the 55 food since it was a book drop?

What about me as a hunter? Does this mean that my next trainable multishot is going to be less potent than the rank 5 that i trained at the trainer after patch 2.0 (but was previously only learnable through books)?

Faulty logic is hurting my head.

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all the book drops trainable now?

So, technically, your entire point is completely invalidated by that fact, since everyone can train the book drop levels.

And the Lord said unto John; "Come forth and recieve eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.

This is regarded as an issue that resolves itself. Ultimately, rank 13 will be used and previous rankings will have little bearing. The point is to get the power curve back on the proper track, which was thrown off from the book implementation (when there was a different level cap).

So, the only classes that are going to get this is Mages? Because it doesn't seem to me like any other class is getting that from their book drops.

Rawr?
