From Blizzard’s hotfix posts
Mage changes.
Every Mage change Blizzard posts, and how each spec has done in battlegrounds since.
Frost Mage
- Frostfire: Isothermic Core’s Meteor damage increased by 20% in PvP combat.
- Frostfire: Duality’s Pyroblast damage increased by 20% in PvP combat.
- Developers’ notes: Frostfire has not been a competitive option for Frost Mages this season, so we’re increasing a few of its burst damage aspects to differentiate its damage profile from Spellslinger.
Not enough games since yet62 of 100
Fire Mage
- All damage done increased by 5%. Does not affect PvP combat.
- All damage reduced by 5% in PvP combat.
- Developers’ notes: Fire Mage has continued to overperform, so we’re decreasing its overall damage to bring it in line with expectations.

Change lines are Blizzard’s, linked to the post they come from. Lines marked “PvE only” say they do not affect PvP combat. “Since” is the win rate in recorded Battleground Blitz games from the day after a change to now, compared with the 14 days before it; it needs 100 games. It shows what happened after a change, not that the change caused it, and several changes can overlap.
