Maximizing Frost Mage DPS
Hello friend. Ever felt like your frostbolts weren’t cold enough? Ever felt like that Fire Mage across the way was poking fun at you. NO LONGER! We all know that in World of Warcraft, the Frost Mage is the king of control. But what if you were also the king of damage? That’s what this article is all about. Let’s maximize that damage! Is it cold in here?
First of all, any good DPS comes from good talents right? Let’s look at the key talents we’ll need to make those frosty bolts even…frostier…ok, I’ll admit that was lame. Anyway…
5/5 Improved Frost Bolt: Frost Bolt is your bread and butter damage spell, so you’ve got take this talent to buff it out. That .5 seconds off of the spell doesn’t seem like much, but think of this this way – If you cast 6 frostbolts without this talent, it would take 18 seconds. With the talent, you’re looking at 15 seconds. Thats quite some time when you add it up.
Ice Shards doubles the damage you deal from critical strikes. This is one of the key talents that is going to put you up the damage range of Fire Mages.
Improved Cone of Cold is a necessity. If you’re wanting to deal AOE Damage with your mage, this is the AOE spell you’ll be using. Not only is this spell extremely efficient, it also has the ability to do 100% more damage if you’ve got Ice Shards, and if you’ve got Shatter…well…read on.
Shatter is the talent that will put you over the top, you’ve got an amazing critical chance if youre target is frozen now. This stacks very very nicely with Ice Shards!
