Tried this build out and it really does pump during Veins, but that's what's really what matters. You need to seal the deal sometimes, so having a button you can press that really helps you pump is great. Thanks for sharing this on your discord, joined it today and imported to test it out. Also your slow motion breakdowns are clutch. you can definitely create solid content. Compared to somebody like Kalamazi (PVE warlock guy), you actually speak at a normal human speed and articulate your words. I don't understand why people like that kind of cracked out jabber jawing / word vomit. It's super refreshing having somebody articulate what they are saying properly. Please keep making content like this - glad I stumbled on your channel.
Question: how should we be shattering the Frostfire Empowerment (insta FFB) procs? Should we flurry into insta FFB, or shatter it like a casted FFB, flurrying after? In the latter case there is no delay so Winter's Chill gets applied pre-Bolt. But in the former, there is a GCD delay, which is enough time for the Bolt to outpace the debuff application timing. Or is there a grace period?
Great video. What do you recommend for world and for random stuff and 1v1s? I pretty much have a similar one to the instant but could modify it further.
I'm trying to play with a sp in 2s, what talents are must to pick in a double dps scenario? heal ib, others? Amazing video, keep it up you are doing an amazing job!
At your turret rotation, so when you're not under pressure, I have noticed you're casting sometimes IL and you mentioned, whenever you got a downtime. When actually is this downtime? When you're out of flurry's? So you just spam IL till you get flurry charges back? I'm probably missing something here
Yo, aeghis I have something to.ask you. When disc priest is casting ultimate penitence, what does happen if mage cast wall of ice? Does it keep healing?
I do blitz games and use Ice form because screwing up the wall all the time and for the not getting stunned but does it buff youre frostfire bolds too or does it not apply to it ?
Hey. Anyone knows what the transmog is on his mage ? I checked armory but he has a different one on and couldn't find it on the whole transmog collection either.
Because with this build Frostfire bolt hits much harder during icy veins CD. You flurry-lance-lance if pressured or out of icy veins. It is explained in the video.
With the talents chosen in this build the more frostbolts you cast the better, but also flurry causes 3 stacks of winters chill so if you frostbolt immediately into flurry it shatters that frost bolt then still gives you the next 2 normal ones. If you don't frostbolt first you're wasting 1 stack essentially.
So we not going back to the instant cast buld huh ? seems so good guys don't go you cause they cant stop your damage anyway now you can bait them into you also are we not frost bombing if so should we replace with ice wall
that applies to all damage of 3 frostbolts which will 3 slows or 3 roots. every proc of blizzard and every proc of flurry. flurry is 3 shots that slow... so 90% x 90% x 90% for easy math lets just say 90 80 70. so you have about a 30% chance a little less for flurry to root... use frostbite
since we have Winter’s Blessing (8% flat haste and 10% increased from all sources) haste is super overpowered on Frost Mage. Ice Form replacing veins comes out to be a lot less damage simply because the cast speed and longer GCD equate to less total damage and in a much slower window!
@@Aeghis trust me with ice form is better overall u have less cd u are immune to stun and u can take shimmer and u have instant 30 % dmg boost i almost every time got instant cast procs on frostfirebolt and i crit like 1.4-1.8
This build is OP as fuck during Icy Veins but outside of it u're an NPC. It has high highs but low lows. In 1v1 and 2v2 hardcasting frostbolt outside of ur icy veins just feels so meh, and ur ice lances are nerfed a lot without the talents that u gave up to take the frostbolt ones. It might work in bgs or in 3v3 when u have more time to cast, but in 1v1 or 2v2 when u have people on ur ass all the time, the instant one is better.
we cant get nerfed more if we're at the ground already They literally ruined frost mage and not even think about buffing it while evokers, affli warlocks and hunters are dipshit broken LMAO
@@DH-ht9pl A lot of classes don't deserve to get nerfed (not counting any current bugs), but other classes deserve buffs. The problem with nerfs is you're punishing the players, while buffs you're simply giving the lower-tier classes a chance to catch up and nobody feels punished. To that extent, a lot of nerfs are a result of players believing that in an MMO every class should be viable against every class, so you have Warriors complaining and saying Frost should be nerfed because they can't catch em, but that's appropriate for an objectively bad matchup for the Warrior. While on the flip-side, Mages will bitch about Hunters, and Hunters bitch about Warriors, and now we've come full circle. Its a game of rock paper scissors where we pick our throw the moment we log onto our character, but we have a community that demands a rock have an easy time winning against paper
dudes not using 30% frost bolt pvp talents... dudes not casting frost bolt into half your flurry, AND dude does not have frost nova..... if you want to cleave frostbolt > frost nova, will crit all 3 frost fire bolts. ps there is a fat pvp modifier on frost bolt. i hit dummy for 1.5 mil i hit a priest for 2.5mil once
Ice Form isn't great since you lose out on the haste (allows you to cast WAY more fbolts). If I'm not fbolting into a flurry it's because I'm using pet nova, ice nova, or they're in a frostbite proc'd root. And in PvP you won't be in range of ppl to root them after a frostbolt with Frost Nova usually.
My goal is just to get to 1800 for the set… I have very little experience and have no idea how hard it is… currently 1185 solo shuffle and 950 2v2… 🥹 just want the set 🥲 Videos have been helpful. Ty

Thanks man. Really appreciate these videos as a beginner mage. Best mage youtuber by far!
Been playing mage since season 2, tbc, still learning alot from you. Love these vids, keep it up!
you are the real MVP for these vids man! thanks
Thank you for updating build during S1 !

Kalamazi slander will not be tolerated
thanks buddy. love the frost mage content. keep it up.
mastery OR haste is the most important one? which parts of set to upgrade for set bonus?
what kind of the UI do you have on the screen? that not bannable?
Hey ty for the video. Do u think this build is better than the instant one for solo shuffle ?
This build should be played always, yes.
This is main build in Awc, so...
Very similar to the build I've been running except i drop ice caller for freezing winds or brain freeze
sometimes i use brain freeze over caller too

Thanks again for the guide, gonna try it in Arena soon. Would this be better than your frostfire bolt spam spec for blitz?
love how frost has combustion under 30sec spell with charges that reset and 2 ice blocks
Great video. What do you recommend for world and for random stuff and 1v1s? I pretty much have a similar one to the instant but could modify it further.
Why does brain freeze still procs even without the brain freeze talent?
What are the ways to proc brain freeze?
Great video, any gearing changes with embalisments or one hander over staff?
1h vs staff isnt rly a big deal but if you spam blitz a lot 1h is better (faster melee swing to cancel capping)
embellish and gear is the same
Can you tell me. Why do you have two similar spells on your action bars? Sorry I'm new to wow.
Thank you for the idea. Does it fit 2s with rogue? Maybe only 3-4 firefrost can be done in the killing window. Will it lead to lower burst damage?
Can you use this build for blitz battleground?
Always use this build, for all pvp content
so why do no frostbolt builds actually take the Brain Freeze Talent?
I'm trying to play with a sp in 2s, what talents are must to pick in a double dps scenario? heal ib, others?
Amazing video, keep it up you are doing an amazing job!

how do you have 14 slots in acion bar i only have 12
Yo, aeghis I have something to.ask you. When disc priest is casting ultimate penitence, what does happen if mage cast wall of ice?
Does it keep healing?
Could you please share build code? Thanks a lot 🙏

Hey. Anyone knows what the transmog is on his mage ? I checked armory but he has a different one on and couldn't find it on the whole transmog collection either.
Is this the rogue mage 2s build or are we sticking with the one from the other build with RoF?
just this build except with ring of frost
@Aeghis thanks so much b...sincerely want to start a RM journey with my brother man. Tired of leaning on this healer crutch.🫡
Why does it look like you have your spells duplicated on your UI..?
I was loving my fire mage but this build looks super fun and simple
Hi i am very new to pvp and just a casual player I've tried this out but not getting any FFB procs also i cant get past 400k dps any help ?
I have a feral 70 druid that i want to level for pvp but its a tauren, is it better to start over as a night elf for pvp or does it even matter?
no glacial spike??? damn
HELP PLS how to stretch the picture so that the game looks like his AEGHIS HELP
I just started frost mage recently. And how is that my frozen orb is an instant cast instead of a placeable skill like yours :( ?
It's a pvp talent you can choose on the bottom right of your talent tree. Those will only be available during pvp or if you have warmode on :)
Is this bill still viable in 11.05
Is the best frost build for bgs ?
Thanks for vid!
Hey Whats the best race for PvP Mage? What would you recommend?
NE on every class possible is bis. But for casuals it dont matter. Its good only for top players
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu for this video!
Why dont you send icelances together with the frostfire bolts?
i am not sure, but my guess is not consume flurry stack on ice lance and use it on frostfire an ice lance use only with fingers and without flurry.
Because with this build Frostfire bolt hits much harder during icy veins CD. You flurry-lance-lance if pressured or out of icy veins. It is explained in the video.
What is that weak aura for procs and buffs, the one on dicsord doesnt have it all, tried adding them failed misserably
theyre tellmewhens
@@Aeghis Thank you!
Mage rouge with this build also working ?
does your rogue do dmg in 2s? i usually go with whatever build doing most dmg cos my guy does no dmg in 2s...lol
Why is important to throw a frostball before the flury?
With the talents chosen in this build the more frostbolts you cast the better, but also flurry causes 3 stacks of winters chill so if you frostbolt immediately into flurry it shatters that frost bolt then still gives you the next 2 normal ones. If you don't frostbolt first you're wasting 1 stack essentially.
@LightriverArt oh i see, thanks for the answer
why dont u put the builds in the description bro
builds change, keeping them in cord allows me to update them no matter what vid ur on
So we not going back to the instant cast buld huh ? seems so good guys don't go you cause they cant stop your damage anyway now you can bait them into you also are we not frost bombing if so should we replace with ice wall
you still do rly good instand dmg with this build
Why doest frostfire bolt into flurry is a shatter?
Flurry has a faster travel time and hits first
@@dikoberries4760 but then it would consume 1 of the 2 stacks of shatter, so why still 2 stacks after?
@luisschiavo8844 flurry hits 3 seperate times. it does consume a stack of the FIRST flurry tick
@@Aeghis If that were the case, then when you flurry (just standalone), wouldn't you see 3 stacks of Winter's Chill debuff?
nah each tick of flurry applies 2 stacks of winters chill. but 2 is the max
ure very helpful, thx
I got rid of frostbite (only 10% chance) and swapped it for brain freeze for the frostbolt build.
that applies to all damage of 3 frostbolts which will 3 slows or 3 roots. every proc of blizzard and every proc of flurry. flurry is 3 shots that slow... so 90% x 90% x 90% for easy math lets just say 90 80 70. so you have about a 30% chance a little less for flurry to root... use frostbite
@zackking5777 ah ok. Thanks!
can take out ice caller for brain freeze
I just realised that you look exactly like a young Lex Fridman.
try it with ice form its insane
since we have Winter’s Blessing (8% flat haste and 10% increased from all sources) haste is super overpowered on Frost Mage. Ice Form replacing veins comes out to be a lot less damage simply because the cast speed and longer GCD equate to less total damage and in a much slower window!
While haste is king… the massive bolt crits with ice form creates the spike damage you need to score kills through healing I’ve noticed.
@@Aeghis trust me with ice form is better overall u have less cd u are immune to stun and u can take shimmer and u have instant 30 % dmg boost i almost every time got instant cast procs on frostfirebolt and i crit like 1.4-1.8
i know this build will be the answer one day. but set bonus is all about ice lance makes it abit awkward😅
goat videos
How come no brain freeze in this build?
Bc u get the proc for it in the mage tree. Middle capstone talent
Does it proc as much as Brain Freeze would? I’m curious about that too.
can run it over ice caller!
Now all we need to do is find a lobby were they let us do this to them 😅
it's rlly good in every lobby. the lobby for my #1 spot was two mm hunters and a lock
@@Aeghis sounds horrific.
im stuck on mage now bruh
i call this the teamfight build as pop veins etc and you are spamming fb on like 4-5 tagets at a time
You guys have to be trolling with ice form😂
the talents in the video is diff then the talents he provides in discord
The discord ones are always the most up to date but I believe the only diff is some mage tree stuff which largely changes alot
@@Aeghis ah ok i see
@@Aeghis but on discord the date is 10/10 and u made this video 3 days ago means 14/10
its edited, not new post everytime
Dang
yoyo
This build is OP as fuck during Icy Veins but outside of it u're an NPC. It has high highs but low lows. In 1v1 and 2v2 hardcasting frostbolt outside of ur icy veins just feels so meh, and ur ice lances are nerfed a lot without the talents that u gave up to take the frostbolt ones. It might work in bgs or in 3v3 when u have more time to cast, but in 1v1 or 2v2 when u have people on ur ass all the time, the instant one is better.
Keep on saying “OP Build”
Keep on expecting nerfs.
stop calling it OP before we get nerfed again
You mean you didnt deserve to get nerfed before ? 🤔
@@DH-ht9pl no
Is it possible to get nerfed more?
we cant get nerfed more if we're at the ground already

A lot of classes don't deserve to get nerfed (not counting any current bugs), but other classes deserve buffs. The problem with nerfs is you're punishing the players, while buffs you're simply giving the lower-tier classes a chance to catch up and nobody feels punished.
To that extent, a lot of nerfs are a result of players believing that in an MMO every class should be viable against every class, so you have Warriors complaining and saying Frost should be nerfed because they can't catch em, but that's appropriate for an objectively bad matchup for the Warrior.

did you copy me :DDD i did that in start u all other mages are slow ...always after 2 months u catch up to me
this is troll comment right? :D
What’s yours mages name ?
Its not rare that someone finds a build before rank 1s lol
its not that r1s didnt know about frostbuild
build, its that lance has been nerfed like 3 times and then frostbolt got buffed a lot so now its better
