Introduction

Hello! My name is Khaelt. I’m a high key M+ pusher, top 40 raider, content creator, and Mage coach! I’ve been playing this game since 2017 and have played Mage ever since.

In this guide, I will teach you:

  • How to properly execute Frost Mage rotation (both Spellslinger and Frostfire)
  • What the best-in-slot gear is
  • Stat priority, best races, and consumables
  • How to properly set up your UI and I’ll give you useful macros, WeakAuras, etc.

Frost Mage is a sustained DPS spec with very little RNG. If you follow a priority list such as the one in this guide, you should have no problem dealing high damage.

Historically, it has been one of the specs that consistently performs well in theory and simulations, but it lacks a niche like Arcane or Fire, so it is often not chosen in high-end content. Regardless, it still has its strengths.

What has changed

11.2.5 Frost Mage Changes

The only change in patch 11.2.5 that affects Frost Mage is the 20% nerf to the D.I.S.C. Delve Belt, which makes regular belts at around 707 item level slightly better. Besides that, this patch also sees the return of Puzzling Cartel Chips. For Frost Mage specific recommendations for Puzzling Cartel Chips you can head to the gearing section in this guide.
