found this on wowinsider thought it was worth putting on the forums,
enjoy
Here's what I don't like: spirit. Spirit sucks. It's a stat that other classes need, but Mages really don't. Only now we really do. Instead of finding a way to make it a more "interesting and useful" stat for Mages, Blizzard has tethered it to a buff that already works, made that spell's effectiveness dependent upon how much of it we have, and essentially forced us to stop avoiding it. In essence, Blizzard has had the following conversation with Mages (For no explainable reason, I've substituted the word "pie" for "spirit," but I think the analogy is still valid):
Blizzard: "You don't like pie?"
Mages: "Not really.":angry:
Blizzard: "How can you not like pie?"
Mages: "We just don't like it that much. It's cool, though...Priests like it a lot. Go give it to them.":)
Blizzard: "But we want you to like it, too. Ok...we'll make pie better."
Mages: "Whatever.":blink:
Blizzard: -slips something into Mages' drinks-:devil:
Mages: "I don't feel so good...":sad:
Some time later:
Mages: "...What the...where are we? What have you done to us? Seriously, this is creepy."
Blizzard: "We patched you. You're gonna love pie now.":norty:
Mages: "Why would we...oh holy crap guys. Our Molten Armor doesn't work anymore.":crying:
Blizzard: "No, it totally does...if you have a bunch of pie. See what we did there?":roflmao:
Mages: "Yup. Fantastic. Give me that pie, I guess.":dribble:
So, yeah. Now we all like pie spirit. Whether we want to or not. Well played, Blizzard.:taz::taz::taz:
just eat up as much pie as you can mages, leave the spellpow... uh .. cake to the shamans, We love cake! :P
Seriously, all the mages that have / will have applied to the guild should have their answer to "cake or pie" automatically set to pie :P
Aldor or Scryers ...Cake or Pie
