Frost Mage

General Gameplay

Standard:

The basics are generally that you want to spam Frostbolt until you get a proc.

• If the proc is Fingers of Frost, it should be used immediately by using Ice Lance.
• If you get Brain Freeze, you want to combo the Flurry after either a Frostbolt or Glacial Spike. This is then followed with an Ice Lance because a Flurry cast with a Brain Freeze proc applies Winter’s Chill, causing your target to take damage from your spells as if it is frozen.

Glacial Spike should never be cast without it either hitting 2 targets or being shattered using Flurry.

These are the rules:

1. Use Icy Veins on cooldown
2. Always cast Ice Lance after Flurry
3. Only use Flurry with Brain Freeze
4. Blizzard on 2 or more targets
5. If you have between 0-3 Icicles use Flurry with Frostbolt or Ebonbolt
6. If you have 4 or 5 Icicles use Flurry with Glacial Spike
7. Use Frozen Orb
8. Ice Lance if you have Fingers of Frost
9. Use Comet Storm
10. Ebonbolt on cooldown, shatter it if you are between 0-3 icicles or save it for Glacial Spike if you are 4+
11. Glacial Spike if you have Brain Freeze or if it will hit 2 targets.
12. Cast Frostbolt

Opener:

1. Pre-pot
2. Pre-cast Frostbolt
3. Icy Veins
4. Frozen Orb

After that, you follow the rules above, this is the same for both the standard build and the no Ice Lance build.

No Ice Lance Build:

When you have 3 Flash Freeze azerite traits, a lot of mastery and non ice lance traits there is a possibility that you should play the No Ice lance build instead of the standard build.

You play the same standard rotation but with some small differences:

• Never cast Ice Lance after Flurry
• Only ever cast Ice Lance if you have Splitting Ice and you will hit 2 targets with it
• Always save Brain Freeze for Glacial Spike, never use it with Frostbolt
• Only use Ebonbolt if you have 5 Icicles and no Brain Freeze proc
• Only cast Glacial Spike with Brain Freeze,  even if you will hit 2 targets with it
