Overpowered frost mage guide.

[Ozrien]

It's simple really, after playing with some game mechanics.

1. Cast frost nova.

2. Charge up a frost bolt like you would normally Frostbolt + Icelance.

3. After launching the frostbolt, rather than using icelance, hit your shiney new talent Deep Freeze. Not only will your frostbolt hit for your frozen bonuses, but Deep Freeze will completely refreeze the target as well as stun them.

4. Iclance the hell out of them. The frozen effect of Deep Freeze does not break from icelance crits.

By then if they aren't dead, normally Fingers of Frost or Brainfreeze has proc'd.


Enjoy.

This is perhaps one of the most overpowered new combinations in the game. It seems the only classes that can beat a ice mage nowadays are BM hunters.

yeah i was on the ptr doing this when deep freeze did damage. its insane

No, most classes can easily beat a frost mage.
Arcane mage is much more op.

[Stochey]

I rape BM hunter, Arcane mage rape frost mage thought
But arcane isn't hard to play

Do you even play a mage? at point 4 use a frostbolt rather than icelance..
Check your talents and figure out why yourself.

omgomgomgomg his 4th post in 2 years!

anyway I don't see why frostbolt would be better, ice lance should do about as much damage if not more, and it casts faster(of course my mage is arcane :P but do explain)
