Frostbolt - Rank 12 worse than Rank 11

Because of a previously implemented rank through book drops for frostbolt, rank 12 is the way it is to bring the power increase for frostbolt back in line with leveling progression, not with former level 60 cap progression.

Q u o t e:


Given that all Mages will have rank 11 at lvl62 that is a load full. That means all mages will have this weak and horrible rank and never use it. So I hope you all at Blizzard are aware that the only rank that will be used is rank 11 once we get to lvl62 and then rank 12 only for one lvl at lvl68 then its off to rank 13 at lvl69.

This is regarded as an issue that resolves itself. Ultimately, rank 13 will be used and previous rankings will have little bearing. The point is to get the power curve back on the proper track, which was thrown off from the book implementation (when there was a different level cap).

Q u o t e:

So what your saying is that the Devs messed up and now Mages have to pay the price till lvl69?

What price exactly? Mages are getting more out of this than they should. What, a few damage points which could be improved with spell damage gear for a negligible gain?

Q u o t e:
Huh? So you're saying in order to nerf rank 13 you had to go nerf rank 12 so that it scaled where you thought it should be?

No, it's that Rank 11 was scaled to the then level 60 cap and provided progression 'beyond the level cap', so to speak.

Now that the level cap is different, the devs are continuing with spell progression in accordance with the old curve and not the other 'beyond level cap curve'.

Q u o t e:
It is what it is.

I wish I could tell you it is something else, but I can't. :/

Locked for heading into Off-Topic trolling country.

Yes, it is an inconsistency. However, there appear to be no plans to nerf rank 11 or buff rank 12. If anything nerfing rank 11 is what would occur. Would you prefer a nerf or no nerf? That is what it comes down to.
