Frost Mage Gearing Guide

Frost Mage Season 2 Tier Set Bonuses:

• (2) Set Bonus: Your spells and abilities have a chance to hit a Jackpot! That fires a frostbolt volley to your primary target and damage up to 8 additional Targets Casting Icy Veins will always give us Jackpot!
• (4) Icy Veins cause you to hit Jackpot! At 100% effectiveness every 10 seconds for 30 seconds.

Conclusions on Frost Tier set:

The only major downside of the 2p in my opinion is the fact that it dosen’t really contribute much towards our Single Target, it seems very lackluster for our single target damage but very effective for our Aoe/Cleave.

The 4p is pretty nice frost has a stable flow damage profile with a long CD

Currently on PTR getting time anomaly proc like Icy veins does not proc our tier set (could be a bug)

Seems like it has to be our Icy veins cast very similar to the fire SKB effected that it needs to be our Icy veins rather than the time anomaly proc.

This is the absolute best in slot setup you could have for Frost Mage, combined from both M+ and raid items.

With that being said, we consider that not everyone enjoys raiding so I will make a list for alternative items you can get from M+ to be as geared as possible.

Keep in mind that this is not a replacement for siming your character, as you will likely not have all these items at once, so to determine what is your next upgrade, always sim yourself.

• Overall
• Raiding
• Mythic+

1. Eye of Kezan - Pretty much bis trinket in the raid as long as we can maintain uptime in combat
2. Geargrinder's Spare Keys - a nice on use trinket that does bunch of damage to your target(pretty strong on ST)
3. House of Cards - Active trinket that gives us bunch of stats, trinket get stronger the longer the fight is the more you use it the stronger it gets.
4. Mug’s Moxie Jug - Probably the best passive trinket from the raid gives us crit on proc and has a pretty good uptime
5. Synergistic Brewterializer - strong trinket that can proc a barrel that does good AoE damage (pretty easy to kill it dies to Ice Lance cleave from splitting ice (could change)
6. Carved Blazikon Wax - strong passive trinket that gives us vers when it procs(only downside is we have to stay inside the candle area for the buff.

Dawnthread Lining / Duskthread Lining (blue silken version just with crit or vers) on any budget piece like bracers, belt, cloak or boots.

However, double ascension is probably better in the raid.

This is probably gonna remain the same for season 2, all embellishment has very little effect on our damage unlike dragonflight so you can pretty much choose whatever you like im personally gonna go with the versatility one because it’s universal for all 3 specs and makes me abit more tanky.

Cyrce’s Circlet

Cyrce’s Circlet is a ring released in Patch 11.0.7 and can be acquired by doing content on Siren Isle. It has 3 unique gem slots that you can socket a range of new gems into, these gems grant different effects when socketed in the ring.

The currently recommended gem combination is probably not the most exciting. The strongest combo for mage is probably using the triple stat increase gems:

• Stormbringer’s Runed Citrine
• Fathomdweller’s Runed Citrine
• Windsinger’s Runed Citrine

However, you can swap the Stormbringer’s Runed Citrine to use the Thunderlord’s Crackling Citrine (zap gem) for pure single target. But this still needs to be fully tested, as they might tune this more.
