New Mage Talent Trees Revealed

[MongoJerry]

See, I'm reading this as: first cast of fire spell is now 35% crit, if that doesn't crit, the next one is 45% crit, etc. Then it only goes away when you have crit three times. To me, this seems to mean that if you're fast, you can get three -really- fast crits, or at least, you -will- get three crits, making it better than the old Combustion, which only guaranteed one.

Oh! I hadn't read it that way, either. If that's the case, then it becomes much better.

One impressive number is that now a mage could have a constant 50-60% mana regeneration while casting, due to Mage Armor, the talent, and 30% of all elemental casts being refunded.

Elemental criticals have their 30% of their mana refunded. That's a big difference.
