Playing with fire and getting burned!

A lot of the time I will use music as my vehicle of focus. Recently, I’ve been digging out the cobwebs of the processing factory and started to search for some favorites of my past. One of the songs I came upon was not only used a a medium of focus, but also as inspiration for this post.

A Prayer for the Dying

To all Bright Wizards…be fearless, for your careless use of needling multiple insta-DoT’s has not diminished with patch 1.0.5. It’s only their ability to critically devastate a health pool in mere seconds that may prove to be waning.

As many of your victims, I’m crossing this bridge with lessons I’ve learned. I’ve been playing with fire and getting very burned.

I may not know what you’re going through, but time happens to be the space between me and you. See… you and I are not that different, except for the fact that I have a single target at a time and have to be amongst your ranks to be effective. You can not have expected Mythic to leave your class in the state it’s currently in. No other class in the game could scale with the ease in which you pull of your massive amounts of damage. It’s not asking for too much, it’s simply asking for balance.

Yes, it’s comfty in your back lines spamming four buttons on every red target you see within a 100yr radius while your pocket healer keeps you fully combusted for that guaranteed damage output, I get it. Fortunately for some of you it may be time to move on; or you can be one of those that embraces the change and says “yes” while other cry “no”. For you may now be able to distinguish yourself in the rank and file. There’s always the case that the change may not be that significant, if that’s so, expect more to be coming soon. Either way WAR will go on.

There shall be a great rejoicing that we’ll know when we will no longer lose our entire life bar in the matter of seconds en masse due to the insatiable critical hits of your multiple insta-cast damage over time spells. No longer shall we flail around spamming “help me, I’m fading!!!”.

At this point, in my mind, your class might as well be able to walk across water; although, I don’t believe you should be “nerfed” to oblivion. If the changes do not make a dramatic difference we shall carry on. For this is nothing more than a prayer for the dying.

-Xo
