Game Design Arcanist Mage gameplay "rant"

I recently started getting into arcanist mage and though I really enjoy it, I think theres some issues with it.

__________

ISSUE #1:
"Chaos Explosion" can recast teleport. I know it may be a way to balance the ability, and to fit in with the theme of great power, at the cost of little control; but Id argue this isnt a fun but rather annoying way to design an ability.
-> Its annoying to be required to click 12+ cps for good damage and be punished for a single misclick
-> Its possibly unfair to players like me who dont use macros of any kind to cast spells (Macros are already kind of unfair but even more so in this case)

I noticed this in my regular playthrough, but where it REALLY annoyed me is in raids like TNA
-> I often ended up casting teleport and then consequently got shoved into the bosses face due to Chaos Explosions recast
-> I tried soloing Greg, and every time he caught up to me I had to teleport, but then I couldnt start casting spells with chaos explosion for a bit because of teleport recasts, and then he caught up with me again before I could start dealing actual damage again

I know "skill issue" but in this case it feels like its an actual issue combined with my skill issue.

ISSUE #2:
Please slightly decrease meteor and ice snake model sizes for better visibility, currently it feels like im throwing smoke bombs at my own feet xD

 

ngl i've done this but i've kinda just accepted skill issue
although why would u want to recast teleport with chaos explosion

 

It's quite useful if you have a full mana bank after a challenge in a lootrun and want to get to the next beacon faster, but I agree that it's otherwise quite annoying.

 

Normalize punishing mage players for no reason.
Mage should get to have 0 fun

 

Buuuump (I mostly un-maldified the post, its better now, maybe give it a reread if you care =))
