This demonstration showcases a couple of changes that address Frost mage gameplay issues.

Cast spells by clicking the ability buttons or pressing the keybinds. You can change a keybind by shift-clicking an ability button and pressing a key. Modifier keys are not supported.

Major changes:

  • Flurry is an instant cast with 2 charges and causes next Ice Lance to not consume Fingers of Frost
  • Brain Freeze grants half of a Flurry charge
  • Mastery no longer increases Icicle damage and instead increases damage done to frozen targets
  • Blizzard activates Splitting Ice for 15 s

Minor changes:

  • Icy Veins last 30 s and increase Flurry recharge rate
  • Frostbolt deals 20% additional damage to frozen targets
  • Flurry no longer generates Icicles and instead launches them

Goals:

  • Flurry changes provide agency over the rotation and protection against bad luck streaks
  • Mastery no longer pushes Ice Lance out of rotation
  • Two target niche no longer depends solely on a talent
  • Icy Veins' strength now matches its longer cooldown
  • Properly performing Shatter combos is emphasized
