World of Warcraft lead designer: Mage to get some new abilities

[Spitfire]

Ever since Tom Chilton (Kalgan), World of Warcraft's lead game designer, hinted that they were looking into providing Warlocks with teleportation, quite a number of players have been up in arms. The biggest complaints have come from the Mages since they've been encountering a lot of problems when they go up against Warlocks.

Chilton responded to these players on Blizzard Entertainment's official World of Warcraft forums. He pointed out that Mages will also be getting new abilities in Wrath of the Lich King. He even went so far as to add that the developers intend to "tone down how strong of a counter warlocks are to mages through the wotlk spells/talents."

It looks like the developers still have a lot of work to do in balancing the different character classes. While we understand that some might be getting rather impatient, it might be good to note that things have actually been getting better with every patch and update.
