Introduction
Welcome to the Frost Mage DPS guide written by Philwestside.
Frost Mage strengths are good sustained damage, excellent slows and stacked cleave.
Ice Block can often be used to ignore or relieve your raid of difficult mechanics in raids and as Frost you can have two of them when using Cold Snap.
