The new set bonuses Mage Frost 10.1 Class Set 2pc and Mage Frost 10.1 Class Set 4pc appear to have been specifically designed to discourage this type of rotation. While it's surprising to have to list this as a reason to play Frost Mage in Dragonflight Season 2, the specialization has recently been plagued by rotations that ignore Fingers of Frost completely and only use Ice Lance after Flurry. Frost Mages also excel against two-targets thanks to Splitting Ice without really having to sacrifice anything for it. As long as you understand that it is important to make good use of Shatter, avoid downtime, and utilize your procs effectively, Frost Mage can perform relatively well. While the rotation can be punishing, Frost Mage is relatively easy to play.
Simple Rotation and Strong Two-Target Damage While Frost Mages continue to struggle with sustaining themselves against consistent damage sources, they are still exceptionally good at surviving against brief instances of high damage with defensive cooldowns such as Ice Block (twice with Cold Snap), Greater Invisibility, Alter Time, Mirror Image, and Ice Barrier.įinally, Mages continue to have exceptional mobility from many sources including Blink/ Shimmer, Ice Floes, Alter Time, Displacement, and Incantation of Swiftness. Additionally, several situationally strong active crowd control abilities such as Blast Wave, Ring of Frost, and Dragon's Breath are also available that can be used to stop casts or keep targets where you want them. The Frost Mage AoE rotation involves nearly 100% uptime of both Blizzard and Frozen Orb, both of which continuously slow all targets they hit. This includes helpful crowd control, important throughput buffs ( Arcane Intellect and Time Warp), situational spells like Remove Curse, and out of combat utility such as Conjure Refreshment, Teleport spells, and Portal spells.įrost Mages have some of the best battlefield control in the game. Why You Should Play Frost Mage in Dragonflight Season 2įrost Mages continue to bring desirable utility to their group in Dragonflight Season 2. Despite this, Frost Mages still excel at battlefield control and two-target cleave. The new Frost Mage set bonus helps to address some of Frost's rotational concerns, but they are not completely resolved and talent diversity is still quite limited. If you liked Frost Mage in Season 1, you will probably continue to enjoy it in Season 2, but many of the issues with the specialization have not been addressed. Overall, Frost Mage is mostly unchanged from Season 1 of Dragonflight to Season 2. Why You Should Play Frost Mage in Dragonflight Season 2 (and Why You Shouldn't)
