Reagents

Requires: [Runed Adamantite Rod]

Suggested Use

Useful as a mid priced enchant for leveling between 60-70. Situationally good for tankadins when a warrior is not in the party and minimizing damage is more important than threat. Good in PvP or on a backup weapon. Enhancement Shaman get the most benefit from this enchant (there has been some argument that Shadow Priests are also a good choice). Whatever your class, another more costly enchant exists that is superior to deathfrost.

Notes

  • Procs off both white and yellow attacks, but uses different mechanics. For procs from spells, the proc rate is 50%, the internal CD is 25s. There is no internal cooldown for melee procs which appear to be 10-12.5%. Can refresh itself but does not stack.
  • It does not proc off ranged attacks (useless to Hunters) nor ranged specials like Avenger's Shield/Hammer of Wrath. Shapeshifted druids can use bleeds to proc it, but not other animal form attacks. Damage dealing Judgements seem to proc with its melee proc rate only.
  • Spell nature lightningshield [Lightning Shield] procs it but other forms of reactive damage such as Spell nature thorns [Thorns] does not. Further testing needed since patch 2.4.3 of reactive damage such as Inv shield 1h hyrja d 01 [Holy Shield] is required.
  • It cannot be resisted, dodged, etc., It will always hit, but if damage is absorbed, no debuff will occur.
  • It crits with your spell crit chance for 150% damage. Modified by affects/talents that effect all damage or all spell damage (but not damage from spells!)
  • Does debuff Raid Bosses but does not affect casting speed. (melee & ranged speed still affected)
  • Target's attack speed is slowed, but movement is unaffected.
  • It is a non-magic frost spell effect that can be removed, but cannot be dispelled.
  • Does not stack with Thunderclap. Debuff replaces Thunderclap and is bigger than Thunderclap. Further Thunderclaps continue to do damage/threat as normal but does not further slow the target.
  • For curious Frost Mages, enchant is affected by Spell frost arcticwinds [Arctic Winds] 5% damage bonus, and Winter's Chill crit debuff. Not affected by spelldmg or Spell frost frostbolt [Piercing Ice] or Spell frost ice shards [Ice Shards].
  • Will trigger the Shadow's Embrace set bonus.
  • Replaces debuff from [Riftmaker].
  • Since it requires at least a level 60 weapon, this is one of only two Burning Crusade enchant formulae that require Inv inscription weaponscroll03 [Enchanted Vellum] to make enchant scrolls.
