I didn't play Mage back in TBC, but I did play it in WotLK. And iirc the Pom CD didn't trigger until you actually consumed the buff. This might have been a change made post-2.4.3 though.

Yes in wotlk the POM is now removed upon cast (Which is actually consume) as it changed Cast Time, and not impact time or what every.

I read somewhere that this was a bug in tbc also but they fixed it really fast with a patch, which is what we will be doing also now.

Sounds great! But do keep us posted when this pops into our reality, and not that divine place you blue lads hang out in.

Now I get to try to test this later :/. On a server with probably 1ms. Maybe I should go for doing it non-local.

It's working that way now aswell, the CD doesn't get touched until you cast something which consumes PoM, but what I meant is, that you can cast PoM, and go to the NPC to reset all your cooldowns, which doesn't remove the buff, while still reseting the CD, which kinda sucks.

The thing is that when you do the CD Reset, and cast Pyro with the first POM active, When the POM Buff is removed it triggers a server side CD anyways, making it impossible to cast the POM you just removed the CD From, at least this is for me...

Ah alright, this pretty much fixes itself when PoM gets removed on cast. ^^
Was tied to that dreaded consume on impact issue, sorry for the confusion.

This nerf really sucks. Having fun with this was the only reason I played my mage. I suppose I was getting bored or her anyways. I'll still probably play ap fire because frost is boring as hell.

Nerf? This is a exploited bug and is NOT working as intended. This is a bug fix, not really a class nerf. It nerfs you ability to abuse I suppose.
