| − | ==Tips and tricks== |
||
| − | In PvP situations Frostbite is effective at catching runners or slowing large groups, which is valuable in [[Warsong Gulch]]. Two effective ways to get a Frostbite are with [[Frostbolt]] (Rank 1) and [[Improved Blizzard]] (Rank 1). With Frostbolt (Rank 1), the cast time is 1 second with full [[Improved Frostbolt]] and 1.5 seconds untalented, allowing the mage to rifle them off quickly with the hope of landing a Frostbite. With [[Improved Blizzard]], each tick of the AoE applies a chill, and thus each tick has a chance to Frostbite. Rank 1 is mana efficient enough to chain cast it for a Frostbite hit. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Frostbite effect does not overwrite the [[Frost Nova]] effect or the [[Summon Water Elemental|Water Elemental]]'s Freeze effect. These spells have a longer duration (8 seconds vs. 5 seconds) than Frostbite, and thus supersede it. Even if the Frost Nova or Freeze has fewer than 5 seconds remaining, Frostbite will not take effect. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Because Frostbite only lasts for 5 seconds, and higher ranks of Frostbolt have a minimum casting time of 2.5 seconds (3.0 seconds untalented), a mage often only has enough time (due to lag) to cast one Frostbolt before the effect wears off. However, if a [[Troll]] mage casts Frostbolt in conjunction with the racial [[Berserking]] (thus reducing the cast time to 2.25 seconds or less) then he can have up to two chances to crit off a a Frostbite. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Frostbite is an undesirable talent in [[frost AoE grinding]] builds. The goal in a frost AoE situation is to keep a large pack of mobs grouped close together and snared with [[Cone of Cold]] and/or [[Improved Blizzard]]. If Frostbite lands, it can separate a mob from the pack, complicating the kiting process. |
