From the test realm patchnotes:
As I understand this, it changes the +spell damage coefficient of an improved fireball from 1 to 0.9, and frostbolt's coffecient from 0.81 to 0.73.
Is that right? If so, it's certainly a reduction of a mage's DPS, but doesn't really seem worth all the hooplah that's on the official forums right now. IMO an understandable change given the +spell damage that is probably going to be attainable in level 70 raids.
I'm interested to hear other peoples' thoughts on this.:)
Disclaimer: I fail at theory-craft, I know this. Feel free to point out any mistakes I made. :blink:
