I had one on my mage and ended up getting rid of it.
I hated the long cast time.
It’s only “Mana free” when you ignore the lost med ticks. Factoring in the long cast time it actually costs 45 mana per click. Its still better than using 45 worth of mana in a head to head comparison but let’s not be silly and assume that 24.666 dps is anything to write home about.
I’d rather actively manage my real source of dps (the pet) and have plenty in reserve from the extra med time to effectively keep DS up and lob bigger nukes on priority targets than stand there spamming a 13.5 sec click for a pretty crappy DD.
One of the biggest perks of the mage is it’s such a relaxed and “not busy” class.
