One Shotting Is Here!

[MongoJerry]

I honestly don't see a problem with this.  One must use both trinket slots and spend a ton on reagents, as well as use a spell that has a cooldown, to get that kind of damage.

The cooldowns are short. It can be repeated every two minutes when the trinkets are back, and you can do it more than once before the trinkets wear off. Also, note that in my original post, I gave a more realistic example where the person doesn't have all the reagents. Also note that Vendetta's pyroblast would have done 10k damage with the dot, if the person had lived long enough for the damage to tick.

And also note that while Vendetta was showing off by throwing everything he had into it, the fact is that you can get away with a lot less and still kill someone in under five seconds. This is making PvP in WoW a joke, and for healer classes, this destroys their primary weapon -- their ability to heal. You can't heal if you or your target dies before you are able to cast your heal.

People complain that mages aren't the damage-dealers the players thought they'd be.  Then once they are, people say it's too much.

Once again, please read my original post where I said that this was not a call to nerf mages. It is instead used as an example of how offence in general has increased over defence. This is true whether it's a rogue two or three shoting a spellcaster or a mage powering up and blowing a warrior away. The main problem here is both the enormous burst damage allowed combined with the fact that offensive stats and power has increased rapidly over defensive stats and power. Fights that used to take 20-30 seconds to complete are now over in 5-10 seconds. It's making PvP a joke. If you think that this is only a problem for those rare players who have BWL epic'd out gear, keep in mind that such gear will become more and more common as time progresses and dungeon nerfs happen. You'll see that it's a real problem, and it's something that should be thought about and addressed by Blizzard right now.
