Downranking
- Thread starter Ciceron
- Start date
rank 1 arcane blast, with no debuff stacks, costs about 1300 mana and with 3 debuffs costs over 4k mana!
They'd have to redesign Org, SW, SMC, and UC due to the way the cities are rendered and the fact that you could easily get into the flat, empty zone encompassing those cities. This is the biggest reason and would take quite some time to complete.
Undeveloped zones would become an accessible eyesore.
Flying out over fatigue water to the edge of the world (though they'd just have to add an invisible wall like they did for Outlands and I assume Northrend).
They never said they weren't going to do it, just that they are busy with new content.

Downranking is what makes things more interesting once you have hit the last level in the game, with WotLK the extra abilities everyone has might make it better.

I'm just happy to see a mage nerf, they were getting way too op
living bomb is pretty cool in its current form but I don't see any pvp mage going that far down the fire tree
it's a decent dot for pve although you can't pick up as many cool frost talents

yea there are invisible walls and modeling cheats all over azeroth that would prohibit flying without extensive reconstruction.
Wouldn't work.
Gilneas was/is pretty peaceful. That is, unless the Worgen have invaded.
We'll see in the South Seas expansion.
Not for long, can't wait for 10k overheal gheal crits!
Raidwide VT might eliminate some of the issues with not being able to downrank.
It seems more of a fix for the rank 1 spamming instead of downranking nerf. Stacking spell debuffs or hoping for stuns/snares for no mana.
For raid priests, you'll probably just want to get Serendipity Rank 3
If your Greater Heal or Flash Heal spells overheal the target for greater than 50%, you are instantly refunded 60% of the spell's mana cost.
Atleast then you can go back to spamming if you want to.

which is why its a mage nerf
Keep whining because I'm sure they pull the ultimate coup and just eliminate downranking altogether. Every time you get a new spell it automatically sets to that and you wouldn't be able to select the previous rank(s). Honestly this was a problem back when people would be mana-frugal by boning up on +healing and casting lower rank spells which did the job just as well as the higher ranks and blizzard "fixed" that by making +healing contribute less to lower ranking spells. And here people are attempting to do the same shit again, so it stands to reason eventually they'll feel the only way to fix it is to eliminate it altogether.
