Quote:The reason for all this behavior is that Mages are so self-sufficient that they lose group play concepts.
It seems that from the perspective of a group-player, Mages are now somewhat too strong - just as the Sorceress was in LOD 1.08/1.09. But keep in mind that there will be many, many WOW players - including me - who don't intend to spend more than 10 hours/week playing the game, and that mostly solo just for fun with no long-term goal in mind. So, I'm quite happy that Blizzard has picked a less gear-dependent, interesting class for the occasional MMORPG-player :)
