Hi,

One of my guildie mage for some reason want to play as frost, so I decided to take a look how well you can raid with it.
I made this build (18/0/53) and tested it with Rawr.

It looks like that this build is even batter than FFB build for a DPS, at least so the Rawr keeps telling me.
My DPS with a FFB build is 2078 but with this one it would be 2243?

What you think about the build?

My mage what I used for testing.

either way the dps that you listed is awful. Do you have raid buffs and glyphs turned on etc?

using proper raid buffs:


your FFB (with your current gear and poor meta gem choice and gem choices) has a potential DPS of around 4175.53.

frostbolt (same gear etc): 3692.66 dps.

approximately 10% less dps.

I didnt add those raid puffs at all, that explains, thank you.

About those gemms, can you give me another tip of the day please.

I was going to add Chaotic Skyflare Diamond in it but I didnt find any way to add 2 good blue gems anywhere in the set :(
That is also reason why I have +20 spell penetration on boots as I havent found any good other ones.

I could add other blue one on cloves but what you think I should add in there?

Other question I has been thinking for a while. Should I go and try to use Arcane build now or will I run oom too soon?

Unless you're a JC, there really aren't any "good" blue gems. Stam + Spellpower or Spirit + Spellpower are the ones you'll want(probably the latter now with the incoming Molten Armor change).

spell penetration is practically worthless to us, especially to gem for (at least in my opinion). If you are not a JCer, I would go with Pold's suggestion to get some purified (spirit/spell) or glowing (I believe glowing is stam/spell) for your two blues.
