Stat Priorities

Stat Ranking

Stat Priority: Intellect > Mastery = Critical Strike > Haste > Versatility

Stat Outline

What each stat does for Frost Mage:

  • Critical Strike increases your critical strike chance for all our abilities.
  • 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 Mechagnome or Pandaren if you are looking to do the highest damage possible going into Midnight and in raid. For high M+, I would recommend Dwarf or Night Elf.

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 abilities in dungeons.

Shoulders: Enchant Shoulders - Amirdrassil's Grace

You should socket one Indecipherable Eversong Diamond (often referred to as a “meta gem”) for the high amount of Intellect.

Additionally, you should put Flawless Masterful Garnet in all your remaining sockets.
