Welcome to Wowhead's guide to Adapting to Battle for Azeroth's pre-patch guide as a Frost Mage. Patch 8.0 brings a lot of changes from BFA to the world of Azeroth and this guide is made to make sure you are prepared for all upcoming changes. This guide gives you an overview of all the changes happening with patch 8.0 for Frost Mage.
This pre-patch page is intended to help you know the changes to Frost Mage during the pre-patch. Note that during pre-patch, while artifacts
no longer work
, we do not have our
azerite powers
yet, meaning this isn't the final picture for specs in BFA. However, we still retain the powers from legendaries, which will continue working
up to level 115
, creating some interesting situations, as some effects from legendaries
became baseline effects or talents in BFA
.
On our other guide pages, including
Rotations
,
Talents & Builds
, and
Stat Priorities
, you will find detailed recommendations on how to play your Frost Mage, accounting for the changes shown here, during the 8.0 BFA pre-patch.

Malon has been throwing spells at bad guys since 2005. He raids with <Emerald Omen> on Stormscale-EU, and dreams of having a Mage trainer named after him. He would also like to get the Warlock class renamed to 'Fuzzy Cuddlebears'. He's not sure which is more realistic.

Core Changes from Legion to BFA
Frost plays very similarly to Legion, although with the removal of
Ebonchill
the power of
Lonely Winter
and
Thermal Void
has been greatly reduced. Instead,
Bone Chilling
and
Glacial Spike
are the most powerful talents on their respective rows. There is little interaction with the Water Elemental, as Water Jet has been removed and
Freeze
no longer generates
Fingers of Frost
; but the switch to Glacial Spike has made the rotation more interactive. See the Rotation page for more.
Several talents have been moved or changed; for example, the artifact abilities
Ebonbolt
and
Chain Reaction
are now talents (
Ebonbolt
and
Chain Reaction
), and
Ray of Frost
is on the 100 tier. Our AoE is also affected by a talent change: Arctic Gale has been removed, and the damage increase rolled into a new talent called
Freezing Rain
(similar to the
artifact ability of the same name
). However, it now only applies while
Frozen Orb
is active. This is part of Blizzard’s efforts to tone down AoE damage across classes.
Additionally,
Icicles
have been changed. Unlike Legion, where they store a percentage of the damage done by Frostbolt, they now store a flat percentage of your spell damage when casting Frostbolt or Flurry.
War Mode
Another change from Legion into BFA is the addition of
War Mode
. War Mode is a new World PvP system in the Battle for Azeroth pre-patch, along with the new Honor system and Honor Talents. You are now able to toggle War Mode while in a capital city to gain access to PvP Talents in the outdoor world as well as other bonuses, like increased rewards from World quests and 10% extra experience. The downside is that you will always be in PvP combat mode, with the rewards counterbalancing that risk.
Changes to the Global Cooldown (GCD) for Frost Mages
The Global Cooldown, or GCD, is a short lockout period which controls the rate with which abilities can be used; spells that are on the GCD are unable to be used simultaneously, while only abilities off the GCD can be used at the same time or during that lockout period. The global cooldown starts at 1.0 second for energy resource classes, and 1.5 seconds divided by haste for all others.
In Battle for Azeroth, many abilities which used to be off the GCD are now controlled by it. For Frost Mages the abilities affected by this change are:
冰冷血脉
1.5s GCD
Returning Legendary and Artifact Effects
In Battle for Azeroth, many old artifact traits and legendary effects from Legion were turned into talents and baseline abilities. It is known that we will lose our Artifacts
in a future event
. To add to that, Legion legendaries
will stop working at level 116
. To learn more, check out
our full article about returning effects in Battle for Azeroth
.
For Frost Mages the returning effects are:
The main artifact ability
黑冰箭
has become the talent
黑冰箭
.
The artifact trait
冰冻之雨
has been turned into the talent
冰冻之雨
.
玛瑟里顿的放逐护腕
effect likely inspired
连锁反应
.
辛达苟萨的碎片
effect likely inspired the azerite trait
冰河突击
.
Fire's artifact trait
火疗闪烁
became the new azerite trait
火疗闪烁
.
普瑞达兹,萨瓦里克的杰作
effect became the new azerite trait
回声防护
.
Changes in playstyle into BFA
Several abilities that were not previously on the global cooldown, like
Icy Veins
, now are.
Although Frost plays very similarly to Legion, talent priorities have shifted significantly with the loss of artifact traits from
Ebonchill
. See ‘Losing Ebonchill’, below, for more details.
One of the changes, explained below, is that
Glacial Spike
is now stronger than
Thermal Void
. Playing with Glacial Spike requires a change in priorities, which are detailed in the Rotation section. As a quick overview, you always want to cast Glacial Spike followed immediately by a
Brain Freeze
-
Flurry
.
Several other talents have been moved or replaced:
Flurry
now generates Icicles, in addition to
Frostbolt
.
Arcane Intellect
is back as a raid buff.
Remove Curse
has returned as a form of raid utility.
Impact of Losing the Frost Mage Artifact
As seen above, Frost is probably the Mage spec most affected by the loss of our artifact weapon,
Ebonchill
. Several go-to talent picks have changed as a result.
Because of the loss of generic damage traits like
Shattering Bolts
,
Let It Go
and
Ice Age
,
Lonely Winter
has become less powerful, as it no longer applies to already-buffed spells.
Bone Chilling
is now the best option at tier 15.
Ebonbolt
is now a talent at tier 60, along with
a new talent
replicating the effect of
Magtheridon’s Banished Bracers
.
On the 100 tier,
Glacial Spike
now sims ahead of
Thermal Void
. Again, this is because of the loss of artifact traits like
Chilled to the Core
and
Frozen Veins
.
Ice Nine
previously increased the chance to generate
Icicle
; this has been compensated for by making
Flurry
also create Icicles.
In addition,
Fingers of Frost
now only stacks to two, not three, because of the loss of
Icy Hand
.
