Chasing Winter's Chill Kinda Sucks

Frost is fun, and I’m enjoying it but maybe someday they will redo Winter’s Chill.

It’s a really weird unintuitive way to play. Forcing flurry after frost bolt or spike every single time, and with really tight mechanics its easy to miss a cast.

The entire priority system revolves around getting winters chill and without a weak aura and plater you can’t even see it up really.

Then mix in Death’s Chill O.o and you have a weird priority system. Glacial spike doesn’t even fit that well in it. Do I keep casting frost bolt or just spike? I’m sure there’s an answer but it’s so confusing.

I’m improving but its all feels so weird sometimes.

What annoys me about winters chill is that it’s a debuff. If the enemy dies or you have to switch targets it’s wasted. I wish it was a buff on the player.

Yeah and everything outside of certain AOE conditions revolves around a debuff.

Fishing for one debuff isn’t that fun. I like the spec still but I wish they would change it someday.

That was the biggest reason I quit the game. They made it a debuff… which means I should target a boss, get the winters chill, then kill the actual target… But no… I have to waste my DPS on trash. It was a horrible idea.

Blizzard: “We don’t want to make one class have all the DPS…”

It’s a mage… a spell caster… It trades out survival and defense to max out the DPS… So now it’s got no survivability, no defense and no DPS… So what is it if not a DPS?

Yeah I swapped to Boomkin recently and I love it.

I do miss timewarp though, and I miss a lot of the other spells. If they dump winters chill I might go back.

Fire mage is just waaaay too tight for me. One mistake and the entire window is ruined. Not fun.
