Ice! Frost! The spec that any wow player can spot right away. Frost spec uses frost bolt and a "freezeing" mechanic that traps players and mobs in place. Currently frost isnt used as a PVE spec, but Blizzard has high hopes for it to make a come-back. Frost as it is currently has been revamped to allow PVE useage. Mage's have been known to get some high numbers with frost, and I for one love that concept. Frost is always a fun spec to be due to slowing your enemies to a crawl and they try hard to get to you.
The main benefit for being a frost spec is your bitching pet, and the fact that your spells are based on a freezing mechanic that converts your frost spells into critical hits.
Frost spec for best single target dps!
Now boss's cannot be frozen, sadly, which means that our Frostbite does not apply. Hence why I didn't put any points into it. Now your main 5 nukes are as follows.
Frost bolt.
Ice Lance.
Deep Freeze.
Brain Freeze.
Fingers of Frost.
Frost bolt is your main ability.
Ice Lance is used for clipping off mobs.
Deep Freeze can only be used when Fingers of Frost is up.
Brain Freeze allows you to get an instant and mana free fireball or frostfire bolt.
Fingers of Frost basically make your frost spells act like the target is frozen.
Now your summon water elemental helps with adding in with water bolt which is handy. Now it has a freeze ability but like i said, it doesn't work on a boss. Thats why you glyph into a Water Elemental that stays up at all times.
Now your going to notice you will crit...A LOT. Like more then normal for any mage. Also your frostbolt will be casting REALLY quickly. Might be good to get a mod that warns you when your proc is up, so you don't waste it.
Now as for the rotation:
Frostbolt till something proc's.
Brain Freeze should proc and when it does use deep freeze and cast a quick frostfire, then continue with frostbolt. Repeat.
Like I said....FAST. you need to focus if you wish to top the meters.
For this one ill post a video showing you what its like on the current patch.
Now that we have the mage's specs out of the way, onward to discussions!
