PVE Frost Mage Rotation/Guide – Patch 3.3.3

Updated 8/26/10: Throughout an enounter you will ALWAYS be spamming Frostbolt, all other abilities are instant casts. Meaning whenever you get a proc you will use it behind a Frostbolt cast. IE: Frostbolt / Deep Freeze Frostbolt / Brain Freeze (Fireball of Frostfire Bolt) Frostbolt / Ice Lance* I’ve done a little bit of testing on the Target Dummies for the Brain Freeze/Fingers of Frost debate. I have found that when Fingers of Frost is active, and you use Brain Freeze, only ONE charge will be consumed. Being such, you could imply that using Brain Freeze with FoF active is not a big deal, or something you really don’t need to be concerned with. You can use Brain Freeze whenever you like, and as a user commented, your 2pc Tier 10 will grant you 12% haste for 5 seconds after using Brain Freeze. I would recommend using BF as often as you can, but be aware that you may lose your Deep Freeze proc. If you are going to clip Ice Lance with a Fingers of Frost charge, only do it on 1 FoF charge – there is a global CD for using Ice Lance, and it takes time away from your regular rotation. Some people would suggest its not worth using at all. I personally don’t use it anymore out of habit, and I don’t like the global CD. 8/26/10 For this spec, you value Spell Power, then Haste, never socket for Crit. A good base range for Haste is in the upper/lower 1000 range. I socket using (Reckless Ametrines, and Runed Cardinal Rubies – Spell Power/Haste). Use Icey Veins as early as possible …
