Evocate's effectiveness a matter of choice |
Ó
Is evocation gimped, or are you gimping yourself out of a good evocation spell? That's the question that comes to mind when we noticed this new thread spawning over on the European World of Warcraft boards. The question: Is evocation working as intended? The answer, according to Blizzard CM Aeus, is yes, noting that the efficacy of mage evocation is dependent on the individual amount of spirit a person has invested in his gear. Aeus writes,
We feel evocate is working as it is intended: itÂ’s simply highly dependent on how much spirit the mage has.
Unfortunately, many mages seem not to like spirit that much and would rather spend their gem slots and enchants on other stats. This is fine, everyone has the freedom to choose what stats they want to focus on.
Whereas in the past we forced a lot of spirit onto the mage's tier sets so that they would have good mana regen, to leave more room for flexibility and choice we have replaced a lot of that spirit with gem slots in recent gear.
A good number of folks over on the thread have interesting comments, either appreciating the explanation or deriding it for not addressing the issue of evocation as broken by a fault of game mechanics. While it doesn't change the nature of evocate, it does pose an important question: Do you think evocate's effectiveness as a matter of choice is sound, in terms of practical gameplay?
