Wrath of the Lich King changes for mages

These are interesting. Just thought you guys might wanna know.

Frostfire Bolt
3 sec cast - 530 mana
Launches a bolt of frostfire at the enemy causing 722 to 838 fire damage, slowing movement speed by 40% and causing an additional 90 fire damage over 9 sec. If the target is more vulnerable to frost damage this spell will cause frost instead of fire damage.

Mage Armor
Mage Armor is changing to shorten the duration of magical effects afflicting the mage by 50% to encourage its use.


Mages will see an increase of damage to compete with Warlocks in raiding. This also prevents issues of Mages being less desirable with other other classes receiving new crowd control abilities.
