patch 2.0.10 notes on the PTR

[Delc]

How in the world are mages hard to kill under concentrated fire?

Ice Block? "Wow, total immunity for like 10 seconds! ... twice!"

Sorry, having played a raiding frost mage, I find that statement absolutely ridiculous.

Mages are the class with the worst survivability, even when specced for it. They simply have the worst armor in the game, even with Ice Armor up.

I haven't levelled him, but I've seen no clue that has changed. Invisibility is laughable (20 seconds stealth, woohoo...), and if cast in combat, a rock kicked by someone from the opposite team will breakit.

20 seconds is a lot longer than my warlock holds up. I get 1 aoe fear that lasts at best 4 seconds because just about every team has a shaman, and 1 deathcoil. Warlocks are tied with mages for AC. Ice block forces the other team to either change targets, or waste 10 seconds waiting for it to drop.
