What has changed

Frost Mage Changes for The War Within

Going into The War Within frost and mage in general getting significant changes with some talents shifting around, some talents are being removed and some being added.

I will note the most important changes that affect mage:

  • One of the main features going into The War Within is we are getting a new talents tree called Hero talents. Frost is getting 2 new talent trees to play with which gonna defines our gameplay each of their own; Spellslinger and Frostfire, which we’ll talk about them briefly in the talent and gameplay section
  • Mass barrier is now a 3 minutes CD
  • Time wrap is being removed (no double lust anymore)
  • Time anomaly is changed to proc more often (can give arcane surge, Icy Veins, Combustion for the other specs)
  • Inspired Intellect - on the same row with time anomaly arcane intellect grants you additional 3% intellect (however its additive intellect so its much weaker)
  • Supernova is on the same choice as Dragon’s Breath
  • Ice nova and Ring of frost share the same choice
  • Barrier Diffusion - whenever one of your barriers is removed, reduce its cooldown by 4 seconds(works very well with mass barrier)
