- What the best-in-slot gear is
- Stat priority, best races, and consumables

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.
