Mages
- Added a new rank of "Ice Barrier" to mage trainers.
- "Arcane Brilliance", rank 1, is now available from trainers.
- "Arcane Brilliance": Rank 2 of this ability now has the same range as rank 1.
- "Arcane Missiles": Rank 3-11 will now consistently pulse 5 shots of arcane damage.
- "Arcane Missiles": This spell is now affected by "Spell Haste".
- "Arcane Missiles": This spell will now obey line of sight restrictions during its entire casting.
- "Arctic Winds" (Frost Talent) now also increases all Frost damage caused by 1-5%.
- "Cold Snap": The tooltip has been adjusted to indicate it only resets cooldowns caused by "Frost spells". e.g.: "Cold Snap" will not reset the cooldown caused by "Dragon's Breath".
- "Conjure Mana Emerald": This spell now triggers a global cooldown as intended.
- "Counterspell" duration reduced to 8 seconds, and the cooldown reduced to 24 seconds.
- Fixed some data errors that caused "Arcane Blast", "Ice Lance" and "Molten Armor" to generate more threat than intended.
- "Frostbite" effect is now subject to diminishing returns in PvP.
- "Frostbolt": Damage on rank 12 has been increased slightly to ensure it did more damage than rank 11 at all levels.
- "Ice Armor":Rank 5 will now still trigger when all damage received is prevented by a damage shield, such as "Mana Shield".
- "Ice Block": This ability no longer makes mages immune to "Weakened Soul" from "Power Word: Shield". However, using this ability now causes "Hypothermia", making the mage unable to cast "Ice Block" again for 30 sec.
- "Improved Fire Ward": This talent will now work correctly with rank 6 of "Fire Ward".
- "Invisibility": Clarified the tooltip on this ability to indicate any action breaks the invisibility affect.
- "Molten Armor": This ability will no longer be triggered erroneously by some non-melee attacks, such as "Feral Faerie Fire". It will also no longer break crowd controlling affects such as "Polymorph".
- "Spell Steal": Stolen buffs that affect specific spells from the original target's class will no longer have any effect for the mage.
- The "Arcane Blast" debuff can no longer be dispelled.
- "Water Elemental": This pet will now come into the game with full health and mana, including that gained from a percentage of its master's stamina and intellect.
