Another day, another post about frost mage being the worst DPS spec in the game, for the entire game, with 0 buffs.
They are now lower damage than all tanks. Every single tank does more DPS.

They are significantly lower DPS than arcane healer and only a few DPS more than resto healer.
Please buff the runes at the very least. No one is using a single frost rune. Frost is extremely underpowered. It’s unacceptable to leave any dps spec like this in a live balanced game.

Yes but PvP somethingsomething…
I actually support this. It would be fun to see frost not hit like a wet noodle.

Frost is closer in DPS to the healing specs that happen to do some DPS in their downtime than it is to the next DPS spec.
Sorry game is balanced around pvp. Pve does not matter.

man why do you care what flavor of bolt you mainly attack with
Even top frost parses are like, 35% frost bolt 65% living flame/living bomb lmao
And this is why its dying.
who cares about frost mages, NO ONE.
spriests right now are really OP and need a nerf
Yes, Frost doing less damage than tanks most certainly effects their PvP viability as well.
With new mobility runes frost doesn’t offer the same level as control and with SoD scaling, which none of the current frost abilities and runes help with, combined with the lowest damage output in the game makes them very weak in PvP and PvE.
paste this from another thread.
"This train of thought is most visible with the frost mage. It is currently the worst spec in the game. In vanilla it was considered top tier and was known for farming, pvp - control, mana efficient dps, and great defensive cooldowns. In SoD, it’s lost it’s whole identity. Arcane and fire offer comparable AoE farming, runes offering increased mobility make favorable pvp match ups worse, massive mana pools make mana efficient dps irrelevant, and an overall damage increase / burst damage increase makes their defensive cooldowns worse.

Why do people want to play what they want to play in an RPG? Is that actually a question worth answering? Just think about it, you can figure it out!
SoD is balanced around pvp? you wouldn’t know that from playing it, lol
Yeah, the fact that Frost mages are good at NOTHING is pretty concerning to me. If you are deep frost with talents, you aren’t even using frost offensive spells unless you’re using r1 frostbolt.
