We need this

You already have the best AoE and 2 target cleave out of the 3 Mage specs in PvE, so no.
What Frost needs is an aura buff. All 3 specs need this.

Killing the boss is also very important specially during tyrannical affixes.

Do you know what a spec’s aura is?
Apparently no.
An aura is a passive that every spec has that Blizzard uses to tune the overall damage and healing of a spec without needing to tweak each individual spell to buff or nerf a spec’s output; it makes it easier to ensure you change the power of the spec without breaking the balance of the spec.
Say that Frost’s aura is set to -3%, Blizzard can just tune this number and the result is that every individual spell tied to that aura changes to the new number Blizzard sets for that aura.

Single target doesnt feel bad wish they’d revert the aoe dmg nerf leave the slow nerf in
what mages need is better multiple target cleave without sacrificing ST dps. Our ST dps and 2-3 target cleave is amazing but if we go for maximum reaping trash dps we give up to much.

You do realize than an aura change can also be the buff the OP asked for right?
Learn to play issue, Frost mage is 100% fine.

An aura buff would just make frost even better at those things you listed. A single target buff frost bolt would make way more sense as it wouldn’t affect those other things. The tricky part is ice lance since buffing that will also buff the cleave when you take the talent. They could just nerf the talent to compensate for a ST buff on icelance though.
No it’s not because Frost is meant to be stronger at AoE than it is at single target. Aura buffs are needed for all specs because Mage damage across the board is too low.
A Frostbolt buff would be the end of Ice Lance.
That’s why i said ice lance needs to be buffed too with a compensatory nerf to splitting ice so the cleave damage doesn’t run to far away.
Nerfing Frost’s entire identity; nice one.
I don’t see how that would be the case? Buffing single target through frost bolt and ice lance while maintaining the same degree of cleave through a small targeted nerf to splitting ice ruins frost’s entire identity? Since when has frost’s identity been tied to one talent?
Because Frost is a 2 target cleave spec, one of the very few in the game.
