Should the delay on Mage's Fury (and morphs) be removed in favor of becoming undodgeable?

JXNwarrior

I've felt for awhile that the delay execute mechanic on Mage's Fury (and morphs) is a bit unbalanced for PvP. This, and the recent issue with it in BG's (killstealing from other teams) has me wondering what the forum thinks about removing the delay mechanic. IMO the delay essentially turns an execute ability into a fire-and-forget 20% health debuff that becomes problematic in any situation that invites other players or buggy mechanics to proc the execute explosion. My suggestion is to remove the delay from both morphs and make them undodgeable but blockable. This should offset the effects of removing the delay execute by giving Sorcs a more reliable on-demand execute and synergize it with Rune Cage which will be dodgeable but unblockable. I've included some other options as well so please vote and comment with your thoughts/reasoning below.

Delayed, undodgeable execute ability is fun but not balanced enough, luckily they have that pasive execute to compensate.

Remove both the delay and make it dodgeable and blockeable, I don't mind if they raise the cap to 25%

Seriously so now people suddenly have an issue with Mages Wrath?? The Sorc hate is becoming dull, that's literally every skill they have, as well as any generic skill they could access that someones whined about now.

Sure in BG DM sorcs help your team win. You need 1 in your setup. The obly people that get hurt are opening as they want more kills (which mean nothing, team win means something)

@shinikaze

And have it scale to stronger %s as the target gets weaker? If so then it's a carbon copy of killers blade and boring. If not increasing in strength as the target gets weaker then it's a worse version of killers blade.


I'm all for changing the ability, but let's not increase the blandness of class separation...

How about giving it a flat value at 25% and lower, and giving it a debuff since Sorcs lack in that area anyway. Major breach would be nice

Major breach would probably be OP but as previously stated you don't want a carbon copy of killers blade and you shouldn't nerf it without compensation otherwise it's just a mediocre execute that doesn't synergize with the class.

I'm for increasing its base damage at the expense of execute damage.. let it be useable as a spammable - less dmg than cs, but saves a slot.

Or at least that's what I'd have said before they made duel-wield pointless... Now I dunno. Often don't even slot it due to lack of space.

You need a poll option to buff Mage's Fury

Simply remove the delay on the base skill and both morphs and nothing else

LOLOL so its okay that you "need a magsorc" to win battlegrounds now...... honestly forums are just full of magsorc noobs.

Rebalance scoring in BGs around existing mechanics, don't rebalance mechanics to fit BGs.

...the sorc execute, while strong, is super distinctive and unique--and making more things undodgeable just unduly handicaps certain specs.
