Frost Mage PvP Overview
Frost Mages have significant slow and root control with abilities such as
冰锥术
,
暴风雪
,
寒冰箭
,
寒冰新星
,
冰霜新星
, and Pet Nova (
冰冻术
). The specialization boasts
变形术
as all Mage specs do, and as such, brings consistently strong team control. With the powerful slows and ability to Polymorph, most opponents will find it a challenge to fight a Frost Mage, especially melee DPS looking to maintain uptime. These major strengths with their decent burst/consistent damage depending on composition creates the powerhouse that is Frost Mage.
Frost Mage Strengths in PvP
Control
Abilities such as
冰霜新星
,
冰锥术
,
暴风雪
, and
寒冰箭
provide roots and slows, allowing the Frost Mage to provide some of the best Crowd Control in PvP. Mages also have
变形术
which allows them to interrupt enemy kill attempts onto their own team, or facilitate their own kill setups on the enemy team. The combination of roots, slows, and Polymorph make a Frost Mage's strongest asset their ability to control the pace of the game, controlling when the enemy can or can’t go for a kill, and deciding when your team will or won’t go for a kill.
Mobility
Mages should almost always choose a talent known as
闪光术
(essentially a double
闪现术
), making the Mage a very agile class. Arcane Mage and a few other classes (Windwalker Monk and Havoc Demon Hunter, for example) may still have more mobility than a Frost Mage but in combination with a Frost Mage's slows and roots, they are a very difficult target for melee enemies to connect to.
Frost Mage Weaknesses in PvP
Low Durability
Mages are slippery in PvP and with cooldowns/control can do a very good job at avoiding damage and surviving with
闪光术
,
棱彩屏障
,
法术反制
,
寒冰护体
and
寒冰屏障
. However, when out of cooldowns and locked down, Frost Mages can fall very quickly.
Low Damage and Reliance on Casting
Frost mage damage comes primarily from shattering frostbolts into Flurry procs in conjunction with the Deep Shatter talent. However even though this requires quite some time to achieve, it does not do that high damage compared to the time invested. Frost mage is also able to deal instant damage in the form of Ice Lance, however lance serves more as chip damage rather than a devestating attack.
Frost Mage in Patch 9.2
Frost Mage in 9.2 is unfortunately looking to be more of the same. A few nerfs to damage and mediocre tier set additions for PvP means Frost Mage will continue to suffer from a lack of meaningful burst damage and control leaving them likely to continue to struggle to be a top contender in arena.
Talents and Racials in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
Unfortunately there is nothing exciting to report this patch for Talents and Racials with one caveat:
News of Cross Faction Arena coming in 9.2.5 means that we can have more freedom with our Racial picks!
Rotations and Strategy in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
Nothing of note will be changing in regards to Rotations and Strategy in 9.2 as the 2 set and 4 set bonuses as well as the double Legendary value are all incredibly passive and simply enhance what you will already be doing.
Gear and Legendaries in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
Class tier sets and double Legendaries are exciting, but do not change a lot for Frost Mages. They will simply be making us more powerful and buffing what we already do.
2-Set -
冰霜风暴
- Your spells have a 25% chance to call down a Comet Storm on your target enemy. This effect cannot occur more than once every 20 sec.
4-Set -
冰霜风暴
- Enemies hit by Comet Storm take 2% increased damage from your Frost Spells, up to 10% for 8 sec.
Frost Mage strength in the current state of the game is being a strong turret providing strong consistent damage and Crowd Control while being allowed to cast, alongside strong 3 minute burst damage whenever
死神之躯
is available. The set bonuses enhance this niche and should be equipped when able.
Double Legendaries will simply allow us to choose our preferred Legendary and have an additional Covenant specific legendary. Nothing of note will be changing here.
Covenants in Shadowlands Patch 9.2
Necrolord
will likely be the popular Covenant of choice as nothing of note is changing, and the choice of Necrolord/Night Fae/Venthyr is largely all preference.
Guide Overview
Talents & Racials
Talents are an important choice in PvP. This page will take you through each of the talents and PvP talents, giving advice on which ones will best suit your playstyle and which build is currently the strongest. Racials can also be important in PvP since many offer extra crowd control or escapes. See our Racials section on this page if you are starting a new character or considering a change!
Rotations & Strategy
While rotations aren't as clear-cut in PvP, it is essential to know how to maximise your output where possible to help turn the tide of a match. Strategy is another key element of PvP that can make or break a match. Our Rotations and Strategy page covers what you need to know about your important cooldowns, using your utility to your best advantage, and even common mistakes to avoid making.
Gear
The Gear and Legendaries page of this guide covers how gear works for PvP in Shadowlands, and how to obtain gear through PvP Vendors and The Great Vault. On this page you will also find the best stat priority and what each stat does for your specialization, the best pieces of gear including legendaries, as well as which enchants and gems you should use for your gear. It also covers how to make your all-important trinket choice for PvP.
Covenants
Covenants are a key feature of the Shadowlands expansion. Your choice of Covenant, Soulbind, and Conduits can have a large impact on your gameplay. Learn which are the strongest for your specialization here.
Macros & Addons
Macros and addons can assist with streamlining your gameplay. Macros can make your gameplay more fluid, and addons provide important information that can help you make decisions before, during, or after an arena match. Find out which macros and addons are best for your specialization here.
Patch 9.1.5 brought a few items that are welcome changes to the Frost Mage toolkit and should therefore increase its viability.
Most notably Frost Mages received significant damage buffs, in the form of an 8% damage increase to
寒冰箭
, and a 10% damage increase to
冰风暴
. A major Frost mage strength for a considerable time now has been consistent damage (in the form of casted
寒冰箭
s) meaning the damage buff to both of these abilities is quite meaningful. This should help them output more threatening pressure in what continues to be a high burst meta.
寒冰宝珠
and the legendary
冰川碎片
have also both been uncapped as per the AoE changes in 9.1.5 but these boast no relevance in Player vs. Player content. (aside a horrendously insignificant damage increase in specific Random/Rated Battlegrounds)
The Necrolord Covenant specific Soulbind
巫妖之赐
has also had it's base duration ranks increased by 100%, making the Necrolord covenant as desirable option for Frost Mages alongside Venthyr. To be covered more in the Covenant section of this guide.
The final change of patch 9.1.5 is a reduction in the power of
三一结界
, resulting in merely a 5% stronger shield (all three combined) every time a Mage presses their barrier spell. This does mean the power of
三一结界
is solely in three separate buffs and not in increasing overall health bar durability. While the associated power of these three buffs is still very strong and situationally good to equip, the power of
三一结界
has been reduced and opens up options for alternative legendaries. This is covered more in depth on the gear page.
Not much has changed for Frost Mage coming into 9.1. Other than some minor damage buffs to Frostbolt, the gain of Ice Wall, and the removal of Kleptomania, the class is the same as it has been all expansion. While Frost deals underwhelming damage, it gives access to a large crowd control and snare kit, allowing a skilled team to reach dampening and win in the late game.
Despite the damage buff to Frostbolt this patch, Frost damage continues to fall behind Fire and plays more like a support class, snaring and controlling the enemy team to allow your partners to score kills.
三一结界
still remains the best legendary.
A saving grace for Frost is the recent Destruction Warlock damage buffs and the overall strength of Restoration Druids, allowing you to keep the enemy out of the game while your warlock sets the damage up for kills late into dampening.
In terms of Covenants, I would recommend Night Fae to allow you to survive longer due to the defensive benefits of Shifting Power and Soulshape.
延缓之声
in the Dreamweaver soulbind also provides you with a 90% snare every time a Polymorph ends which is invaluable to the Frost Mage control playstyle. Alternatively you can play Venthyr or Kyrian for more offensive pressure, however due to the way Frost Mage is optimally played (as a stall class) I would not recommend it.
REMOVED: Dampened Magic.
This is not too much of a big change, this was only really a niche pick into certain Affliction Warlock compositions.
REMOVED: Kleptomania.
This change hits rather hard as it makes Purgable CDs (e.g. Darksoul and Combust) stick on the target for longer. It also makes facing and winning on mana against Restoration Druids significantly harder.
NEW - Ice Wall:
Conjures an Ice Wall 30 yards long that obstructs line of sight. The wall has 40% of your maximum health and lasts up to 15 sec.
Quite a strong ability in theory, it allows you to break enemy line of sight of certain parts of the map. Can be used offensivly to stop healers connecting or defensively to avoid enemy CDs.
Burst of Cold: Your Frost Nova instantly resets the cooldown of your Cone of Cold and increases its damage by 600% for 6 sec. up from 400%
This provides good burst damage on a relativly short CD. It also makes kiting melee compositions significantly easier - a good buff to an already good talent.
Frostbolt now deals 100% more damage in PvP combat (was 15%).
This change makes Frostbolt stronger outside of Shatters, however it still does not deal very significant damage.
Deep Shatter: Your Frostbolt deals 75% additional damage to Frozen targets. Down from 150%
This basically counteracts the Frostbolt buff.
Recommendations
Covenants
For Frost Mage you can either choose between the defensive option of Night Fae or the offensive options of Venthyr and Kyrian. Night Fae will allow you to live longer and reach dampening significantly easier with its cooldown reduction
变易幻能
and mobility of
灵魂变形
.
Venthyr gives you access to on-demand damage of
折磨之镜
however it is a long cooldown and dispellable. Venthyr also can give you a pseudo-Dragon's Breath in the soulbind
混沌代理人
, allowing you to land Polymorphs every minute with ease.
Kyrian allows you to have the strongest burst of all with
璀璨火花
. Farming a Flurry into a Radient Spark > Flurry > Lance > Lance combo will allow you to do significant damage with minor casting involved. Kyrian also gives you a
静谧之瓶
which can be very useful, especially this season with the increase in Assasination Rogues.
Legendaries
At the moment, the
三一结界
legendary is incredibly powerful and is the go-to. It increases your survivability significantly and boasts dispel protection (2 additional buffs) to protect your Alter Time and Icy Veins. Other more offensive options are
纪律严明
and
冻结寒风
.
Legendaries are covered more in the Gear section of this guide.
