I am pretty content with the damage frost will be putting out in the next reset. The’re are other changes I would still like to see though. The biggest is blizzard. I don’t see why the area of effect is so small. Almost all of frosts aoe is currently done with glacial fragments in blizzard. A fair amount of mechanics in M+ require the tank to kite a bit, rendering frosts wonderful aoe/cleave dmg useless. It also makes more sense thematically. It’s a blizzard, not a flurry. Doubling the size may be a bit much but I don’t see a size increase unreasonable. Second, PvP. Frost lacks burst, its as simple as that. The easiest fix in my mind would be a rework of comet storm. There’s multiple things that could be done. A change to the number of comets could work instead of 7 maybe 10? You could increase it’s damage if you shatter it with flurry or maybe as stated above with blizzard increase it’s radius so the burst isn’t as easily avoided. Other then that a pvp talent rework would be necessary or a more bursty pvp talent option in general.
I think a really cool change would be to actually “munching” procs would be a good thing for burst. So you have all your procs up right… BF > Flurry > Winter’s chill debuff on target > make IL hit like a truck if you have FoF up with the WC debuff on the target by X amount of damage.
There are a lot of changes I would like to see Deepfreeze coming back would be huge, another is having Ice Form PvP talent NOT on that GCD would be really good as well.
A lot of people want Frostfire bolt back, I’m guessing to have something else to press.
I don’t know if this would be OP or not but having Freezing raining just baked into our tool kit would be nice as well…
The blizzard damage increase talent should also increase the radius by 10 yards or something.
Deep freeze for reliable cc and shatter procs.
Deep freeze for reliable cc and shatter procs.
Indeed
Imagine a world where deep freeze was still a thing… sigh
Freezing Rain should be baseline (fix the number), and the talent should increase Blizzard’s AoE + damage.
I dont see that happening. If we ask for changes i feel like the most likely ones are ones that wouldnt require a new talent, or overhaul.
I don’t see it happening either but it needs to be overhauled. Freezing Rain is supposed to be an AoE talent but it loses to Splitting Ice on AoE (courtesy of Glacial Fragments). The talent is functionally useless in just about everything.
