Frost buildFollow

Mk, heres the deal.

I've looked through many a good forum. And even browsed EJ for a good hour.

I like frost. Alot. The damage output is good enough that im just barely behind the fire mages in my guild, and above just about everyone else.

The solo-ability offered by frost is rediculous.

But i am either: A. to lazy to try all the talent options out my self. or B. don't have enough gold when i want to try em.

So i will resort to the forums i havn't visited in almost a year. I always got good info from the people here, havn't failed me yet.

Current Spec and gear Here

I want to know if this is the best wat to utilize the frost tree for Raiding.

Like i said, no one here has failed me yet...

Thanks a ton. Ill try it out after moving some of the points around.

been getting the mats together for the hood. and trying to get a new trinket, actually both ones you sugested.

I raided frost as this. Was near perfect for raids, and kept solo'ing talents.

9/52

Few and Far Between, you dont really rely on frostbite proc's in raid.
But In 5/10mans and solo'ing you can utalize it a bit more often, and is great when solo'ing *dailys*.Also nothing like solo'ing a few elites in a herioc pull gone wrong and living to tell the tale.
I prefer the 3 points in frostbite over CoC. AoE with Flamestrike/Blizzard and Arcane Explosion.

Frost +Hit*126* > +dmg > +Haste > +Crit
Had mostly ZA and Badge loot, found myself not wanting anything from ssc/tk for the most part.

I ran fire 2/48/11 for a few weeks, then ran 40/0/21 arcane for a bit.
Each Talent tree i had almost completly different sets of gear.

Fire: +Hit*164* > +Dmg > +Crit > +Haste

Arcane: +Hit*126* > +Dmg > +Spirit > Mp5 > +Crit > +Haste
*126 so my frostbolt fillers would hit*
Fire was fun to see bigger numbers, and required less work to do good damage, But i always ride tanks agro.

Arcane is a lot of work, Is fun because you dont have to worry about threat, but i just respecced out of it because i was tired of using 10-20mana pots a raid night and still going oom. But dmg was there with 2pieceT5, Think i doubled #2's dmg once *think i stole an innervate too*. i may go back for chest runs in ZA and if were farming old content. Or if i find myself in excess mana potion land again.

Frost, I do miss it. I havn't farmed once since i specced out of it. I'll probably revisit it soon enough. Aquired more haste gear i want to show off. The 2 Iceblocks makes surviving in new content easier, but not knowing how to keep your WE up can greatly lower your dps.


I dont think so, i found myself at the top of the meters with all 3 specs.

Nice! Im full frost and happy with it. Im not ultra geared but heh who at 61 is. =)
Im too much in love with my shaman to finish out my mage to 70 yet... But at least when i do go to finish leveling my mage ill be happy with frost and stay frost for raids =). Gawd i wish i could get on more, but i live too far iont the sticks to have high speed, so im dying when i troll the forums reading what im missing..
Maybe someday ill have a chance to join in.
Im seeing good builds and nice stats on thier mages =) im envious!

Try deep frost, it can mean some downtime in between mobs sets but 5 to 8 mob at a time my level. If i have too many adds i can still get away, lol
PvE is pretty cool with deep frost and the damage is acceptable with frostbolt crits seem to come pretty often for me. Deep Frost does have its good points.
