▶ World of Warcraft - Frost Mage DPS! (level 85) - WoW Mage - TGN.TV

http://worldofwarcraft.tgn.tv — Frost Mage DPS rundown (episode 17 of 22) in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm!

We look at the spec and rotation for a Frost Mage, and analyze the testing results via Recount. All testing is done against a raid boss dummy with no buffs besides basic class abilities. Gear is level 333 premade junk.

Frost is a lot of fun. It is based around Frostbolt as your main nuke, with fast reactions to the constant procs of Brain Freeze and Fingers of Frost. It feels like a dynamic dps cycle, despite only using a handful of keybinds. Really, the whole design should be held up as a great example of how to make a character.

In order to calculate Deep Freeze, which does not do damage to dummies, I included some heroic footage and recount data. I figure that Deep Freeze does 15% of your personal dps, so I factored that in for a rough estimate of the "real" dummy data. Also, I was not using the new Glyph of Deep Freeze in the heroic footage, so I figured that the 20% from that glyph canceled out the 20% of my damage that came from the water elemental, so I simply took the dummy test results (6600) divided by .85 to get the "final estimate" of 7700. Feel free to criticize that, but the point is: it does great damage, and the heroic numbers with purple gear and a rampage buff supports that conclusion.

The addon used to track cooldowns and Fingers of Frost stacks is DoTimer. Setup tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3hUybN2cJw

The only thing I did different from the tutorial was I set up the PlayerAuras timer to use an icon with no timer instead of a bar.

@SuperKmach I'm quite fond of undead mages, but in all, I'd say a troll because of the racial skill to improve cast speed.

@SuperEpicsmileyface have you ever considered that that is a fresh 85

[SuperSpable]

The best Alliance race for mages are gnomes because of their (racial) increased intellect. IDK about Horde.
