Hello,

 

Living Bomb is currently working as intended. As in...that's how it works on retail and that's how it should've worked since latest patch.

 

I have a fire mage that hits 30k-60k/tick with Living Bomb, in full gear with blown CDs.

Arcane mages will hit more with it due to the spec's mastery.

Frost mages are doing 60-70k with Ice Lance and that's what it should be doing. It's an instant cast, very cheap spell. Do you want to be doing 100k's with it? You can already drop someone to 50% in 3 pushes of a button,and ALONG with other DoTs and instant spells it will be close to death and you didn't even stop to cast anything.

 

With temporary buffs, you can expect alot higher damage then that. So, with this in mind, there is nothing wrong in your picture.

So everything is great on words but can you show pic that you hit 70 with lance .

 

Because i see people (testers admins and so on) saying everything is great working properly.

Geared fire mages do 60-70k Ice Lances on frozen targets. Arcane mages can hit 100k Ice Lances. Frost has a few major bugs so they only hit like 40-50k.

 

I don't understant you. First look at your post "Frost mages are doing 60-70k with Ice Lance and that's what it should be" and so on after that " Frost has a few major bugs so they only hit like 40-50k"

 

I don't play mage that much but i am not sure that fire does 70k lance. For arcane you can do way more than 100k.

 

And that is what i am talking about stop talking about things that are not sure i don't remember where it was but some tester was doing the same telling something and after that the oposite of that.

Nothing personal man.

as far as I've tested Ice lance damage is boosted by about 20% on this server

also arcane mages - they do 15-20% more damage with all skills than they are supposed to (giving them over 130k ice lances if stacked correctly)

rest of frost/fire is fine

I got them mixed up right there, my bad. :)

 

As dotadoom stated, Ice Lance is not working right in Pandawow. In fact, I think the only spec where Ice Lance is doing it's intended damage is frost. Arcane does like 100k+ and Fire like 60-70k(geared, ofc). But the thread is about Living Bomb, wich currently is pretty much working as intended. :)

i dont think so, how can living bomb does more dmg than feral bleeds? that not correct, feral should be the best spec with the high dots damage...

and about ice lance, i think that not normal, in retail even arcane mages cant do ice lance 100k, i think all of you are wrong, how can do a tyrannical mage 100k hit x3 with a single spell as arcane, more than full griveos druid, rogue, monk, etc... (im talking wihout cds ) if it is ''correct'' why the pro arcanes mages from retail do not spam it on freeze targets?!?!? i think all ppl do not have idea about mage dmg.

If you have watched mitch jones yeah he is not the best but sometimes he is spaming http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=30455/ice-lance when someone is in http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=44572 . But http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=44425/arcane-barrage is doing way more dmg than http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=30455/ice-lance with 4 stacks and when the target is in http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=44572 it has to crit %100 but people don't bother because it's 10 times easier to put http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=112948 on the target and spam http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=30455/ice-lance while in http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=44572 .

so I made a new acc and a mage just to show you guys since my acc is banned bcos people say I'm hacker

full male gear and selfbuff

http://s28.postimg.org/czlh965cb/Wo_WScrn_Shot_082314_151949.jpg

here's living bomb + ice lance on the dummy

http://s28.postimg.org/za9c952mj/Wo_WScrn_Shot_082314_151043.jpg

http://s28.postimg.org/c7it9z157/Wo_WScrn_Shot_082314_151052.jpg

and here's frost bomb (very low damge compared to LB)

http://s28.postimg.org/mlf1pgwi3/Wo_WScrn_Shot_082314_151932.jpg

 

yeah, I know it's a dummy but for pvp damage just divide by 3

 

but if you are full geared arcane on a bg with tons of buff well.. yeah you dont have to divide it

 

PS as I already said arcane mage's damage is increased here by ~20%

Ice Lance is increased for all mages by 20% as well

@Dotadoom

Arcane mage mastery is bugged this is reason why your damage is ridicilious. I got hit 300k ince lance in deep freeze and I was in def stance.

It's funny because frost mage should hit more with ice lance than arcane mage

I saw few mages who abuse glyph of remove curse so they have 15% more damage at all time also with full gear they have 100% mastery or more... In deep freeze they usually 1 hit target with ice lance... also .. not to mention 80k living bomb thicks

@Tbf

1/Arcane mastery isn't bugged at all - it adds damage as inteded based on your max mana (mastery persentage * percent current mana)

it's the overal arcane mage damage that's bugged

your spells start dealing 20% more damage just because you specced in arcane

 

2/ frost mages can do can do lances easier but they can't do more damage than arcane not here not anywhere (arcane mastery > fof procs 25% dmg)

 

3/ the guy who gave you 300k ice lance would most likley give you 200k LB ticks :)

The thing i don't like about this forum is that everyone is saying what ever they want. Some people are saying this is bugged others are saying that is not. And not a lot of people look at their class and say that something is not working.
