Insane that Arcane is probably the spec if you want to play the game between drinks for 8 seconds. The clear-casting procs are fairly good until you get to 30 and the mana costs just take over. Forget trying to run a dungeon and keep up with your mates unless you just wand your life away. Fire is just unattractive with the Pyroblast that doesn’t and the fire hit talent in the frost tree anyways. Mana costs are insane at 30 and it slows down the game a tremendous amount. You learn a new mana cocktail at 30 too in which you can make 2 at a time and let’s say you have 2500 mana or there abouts. You may in fact need both to replenish and it’s a SLOGGGGG. Please tweak the numbers around how much mana you recharge at 30 for the newest drink. Frost is terrible at 30 so far because the damage throughput just doesn’t jive with the cost of said damage. Mages have tons of cool buttons to press, but careful pressing them your oom yet again and your ability to recoup is diminishing not improving for some reason? Another thing fingers of frost procs and you’re half way through another frostbolt and cancel to ice lance so fun!
