Mejoras y nerfeos de Mago en WoW Forever

Todos los cambios que Blizzard ha hecho a las habilidades y talentos de Mago en cada versión de la beta de WoW Forever, extraídos del cliente del juego. 1 mejora, 9 nerfeos y 39 cambios de otro tipo desde el 2 de octubre de 2026.

Cómo se determinan las mejoras y los nerfeos

Por los números, nunca por las palabras. Un cambio es una mejora cuando todos los números que han cambiado lo han hecho a tu favor: más daño, sanación o efecto; menor coste, tiempo de reutilización o tiempo de lanzamiento; mayor duración o alcance; un coeficiente de poder con hechizos más alto; o se aprende a un nivel inferior o con menos puntos en otros talentos. Es un empeoramiento cuando todos los números han cambiado en sentido contrario. Todo lo demás figura como cambio: una mezcla (más barato pero más débil), una descripción cuyo texto ha cambiado o números en otras unidades, como un coste de 125 de maná que ha pasado a ser un 8 % del maná base. Lee el antes y el después para valorarlos. No se incluyen: los hechizos de la Temporada del Descubrimiento que siguen en el cliente pero que nadie puede aprender en Forever, ni las descripciones cuyos números solo han aumentado porque el límite de nivel de la beta pasó de 20 a 30 el 2 de octubre.
