Stat Priorities
Stat Ranking
Stat priority: Intellect > Mastery > Critical Strike > Vers > Haste
Stat Outline
For stats as frost our stats gonna look something like this:
- Critical Strike increases your critical strike chance of all our abilities. Since Shatter multiplies your critical strike by 1.5 and adds another 50% on top of that, you don’t want Crit to ever Exceed 33%, since that would put you over 100% crit.
- Mastery increases the damage of spells that Freeze and Shatter your enemies by x.
- Haste increases your cast speed and lowers the GCD.
- Versatility slightly increases your damage done and decreases your damage taken.
Races
Generally I would recommend Mechagnone if you are looking to do the highest damage possible going into Midnight and in raid. For m+, I would recommend Dwarf or Night Elf.
Mechagnomes are always strong at the beginning of the expansion because of racial passive Combat Analysis, which increases your intellect every 5 seconds that you are in combat, stacking up to 10 times. This racial is always performing well at the beginning of each expansion.
Dwarves are strong because they have access to an ability called Stoneform, one of the most useful utility abilities in M+, which removes all harmful Poison, Disease, Curse, Magic, and Bleed effects and reduces all physical damage taken by 10% for 8 seconds. Night Elves have access to Shadowmeld, which allows you to skip many mechanics and targeted abilities in Mythic+ dungeons.

Gems
Culminating Blasphemite: +181 Primary Stat + 0.15% Critical Effect per unique Algari Gem color
All gems are colored based on the stats they give:
- Emerald (Green) = Haste
- Ruby (Red) = Crit
- Onyx (Purple) = Mastery
- Sapphire (Blue) = Versatility
- Amber (Orange) = Stamina
You want to ensure that each gem socket is filled with different colors, with the exception of the Stamina Amber gem. The most optimal loadout would include Haste, Crit, Mastery, Versatility, and the Blasphemite gem. Always prioritize dual-stat gems, as they provide more overall stats than single-stat gems.
