Q u o t e: OP needs another Q in the title imo
Of course! It's a mage question about yet another nerf being laid down, so it must be a whine. Welcome, brother warlock;
*points*
Please join the small herd in the corner who didn't bother to read anything but the thread title.
What it looks like from the Peanut Gallery (as a non-PvPer... no offense, y'all, but there is a stupendous number of jerks that flock to PvP) is Blizzard unsubtly phasing out Crowd Control just slowly enough to keep the CC dependent classes from quitting en masse.
I hope I'm not right, but CC is the single most kvetched about aspect of PvP... even more so than damage. And Blizzard seems to sit up and take notice when anybody whinges about their precious baby, the 'e-sport' of the Arenas.

/bump for frosty justice!
i maybe understand the reason for wanting DR on frostbite procs.. but to link them to the same DR of frost nova and freeze is unacceptable and would be detrimental to frost mage survivability (which is almost the whole point of speccing frost in the first place.. survival)...
not to mention it almost negates the usefulness of a core mage ability.

Bump for justice
I have been a full frost mage since lvl 10, and only recently have i respecced for raiding (arc/frost 20/0/41). If this nerf is as potent as it has the ability to be, i will be forced to become another face in the crowd of arc/fire mages that fill our servers. Im not doing something so drastic as quitting (lets face it, im an addict), but im gonna be p1ssed, cause i love my frost.
NEVA DIE!!

The current plan is to change the effect so that Frostbite only has diminishing returns with itself, not with other frost spells. Don't have exact details on the functionality, but the core issue is known and being addressed.

WOOT!
Send the Mage dev team a e-pat on the back for identifying a problem and then telling a CM about it!
I'm serious here!
And since I'm one post away from Blueness, I'd like to take the opportunity here and now to remind everyone:
1. Blizzard does a lot of things without telling us
2. Blizzard does nothing without money in mind
3. People who like Blizzard are not necessarily fanboys.
4. Someone who disagrees with you does not make them by default worse than you.
5. Feedback does matter, complaints don't. Recognize this difference.
and
Q u o t e: because chainging the rules of diminishing returns to make ice lance spec even more op is win?
Pointing out here that having DR on all freezing effects is already changing the rules of DR. Mace spec doesn't work like this either.
Oh, and there's no talent that improves Ice Lance. I don't know where you're getting Ice Lance spec from.
