Nerf on Blaze Wizards?

Can anyone tell me exactly what the nerf will do to a Blaze Wizard? Alot of people have been telling me to try out a Blaze Wizard for creating a mage class but after reading a few posts people kept talking about a nerf?

A link talking about the nerf will also be helpful

[quote=SlipperySlimes]Sure that seems fun, but all the op classes get nerfed after a few months in. After the nerf, those people will switch classes to whatever is the next "op" class. Then whenever a new op class comes out, they switch to it.. Every time you switch characters you lose funding, whether it be untradable items, or the cost for psoks, or reselling gear and buying more expensive gear due to it being inflated cause you're constantly making an OP class.

My point is, if people just stick to a class they find fun, the damage will come over time, and you'll actually enjoy the class you play.[/quote]

The things about nerfs is that you can see them coming from KMS updates almost all of the time, and since we are several months behind KMS, that gives you at least a couple months before an oncoming nerfs hit as long as you pick a class you know wont get nerfed in the near future. Its true that switching classes is inconvenient and most of the time unprofitable, but it really doesn't happen too often as long as you do yuor research.

[quote=duriel123]I dunno about you guys, but being able to solo the same bosses with a fraction of the funding another class would need is pretty damn fun as far as I'm concerned..[/quote]

[quote=SlipperySlimes]Agreed, people need to stop playing a class solely on damage. Play a class you find fun..[/quote]

It's just basically a 'nerf' from super strong to strong.

[quote=Flya]Just from memory, orbital flame loses a line so instead of 4 is does 3 (even with hyper). Blaze extinction loses range and circle goes from 50% damage boost to 40%[/quote]

In addition, Flame's travel speed is significantly deduced.
