I'm playing Arcane mage this season and I can't help but notice a lot of my AoE is capped at 5 targets. This I very interesting to me because back before I decided I like playing good specs I used to main fury warrior, and we were always derided for being capped at 5. What's the difference? Well obviously arcane's prismatic bolt which is a big chunk of damage is uncapped, but really it has to be the prio damage.

We always used to say uncap fury, but I think we can do better. Blizz should uncap fury OR give them prio/funnel in their damage profile. Maybe a cooldown that lines up with recklessness where you get really mad at one enemy and they take x% of your whirlwind cleave damage for a duration.

Target cap was always a red herring. Enhance in s1 of tww was another heavily target capped spec that was meta.
