If you want "fun," maybe try playing while standing on your head or something.

Original Post:

Blizzard updated T9 set bonuses. For comparison, here are the new Hunter bonuses:

Item - Hunter T9 2P Bonus - The damage done by your Serpent Sting ability can now be critical strikes.
Item - Hunter T9 4P Bonus - Each time you hit with a ranged attack, you have a chance to grant your pet 600 attack power for 15 sec.

Those are pretty darn awesome.

Here are the Mage T9 set bonuses:

Item - Mage T9 2P Bonus - Increases the armor you gain from Ice Armor by 20%, the mana regeneration you gain from Mage Armor by 10%, and converts an additional 15% of your spirit into critical strike rating when Molten Armor is active.
Item - Mage T9 4P Bonus (Fireball, Frostbolt, Frostfire Bolt, and Arcane Blast) - Increases the critical strike chance of your Fireball, Frostbolt, Frostfire Bolt, Arcane Missiles, and Arcane Blast spells by 5%.

Yep, exactly the same except for ONE change: they nerfed Molten Shield's bonus by 10%. I realize adding 8% or more crit to a Mage is pretty powerful (so now it's 7%), but Blizzard does not seem to grasp that there's also the FUN aspect completely missing in these.
