Here is a fun little exercise to see if you are getting the hang of the rotations:
Go through the ''Rules of Thumb'' and ''How to use...'' sections of the video a few more times after watching the whole thing.
Then watch the ''No Commentary ST/AOE Rotations'' once again and look for minor mistakes. Comment them down below if you find some!
Enjoy!
Edit: As pointed out by @miguelfalcao20, in ST rotation it is more optimal to use Balefirebranch right before Ray of Frost (confirmed by simulation as well!)
Edit 2: Apparently I forgot to put snowflake WA in the description, here it is: wago.io/wnjOy-fgj
As a returning player this was extremely useful. The detailed information and your manner of explaining makes this the go-to video guide.
Completely agree. Been gone for about 12 years and I am completely lost now lol! This video was great!
Okay, a lot of people are requesting my UI/HUD/Keybinds ... etc, should I make a video for this?
Yes please.
I came back hoping you’d made a video for your UI, if you don’t mind could you share it with me? It’d be greatly appreciated
@@andrewr3276 I'm a bit busy these days but I will make it, don't worry!
@@AtillaPlays1643ok no worries, greatly appreciated! Appreciate all the information shared.
Hey did you ever end up making this keybinds ui guide? I'm super interested. Just picked up wow for the first time and trying to play with friend. It'd be great to develop good muscle memory at the start. Thanks!
High quality content! Thank you. I really hope your channel will grow, you deserve the views.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I appreciate the comment a lot!
Good guide! Just to mention, On raid, the balefire branch trinket is better to use it with the frost ray, as you know, the bonus intellect will fall due time so to have better performace, use it before ray of frost.
This is an example for raid (Precast Frostbolt>flurry>Icy veins>comet storm>Ice lance>Balefire>Ray of frost)
Great video! Clear, easy to follow, keep up the good work! 🎉 followed you over on twitch 😊
Thank you, it’s my first time playing mage and your video helped me a lot.
Glad I could help!
I am happy to see a content in this detail for frost mage dps. thank you for your efforts.
My pleasure! Stay tuned for a new guide next patch (which should be very soon!)
great job man , really very helpful , thank you
such an amazing guide. easy to understand yet detailed enough. Thanks a lot. :)
I am watching this video again and again. making small adjustments everyday, getting better.
AOE is much easier to understand and do.
ST i need to practice a lot more.
Glad to be helpful ☺
Great guide, thank you!
awesome guide man, thanks for posting this.
You're our mages saviour. Thank you!
returning player here, thanks for a great guide, super useful stuff.
In aoe, you always want to flurry the target before comet storm for winters chill. Or you can cast frost nova/ice nova/pet freeze as the comet storm falls for maximum winters chill damage. Make sure you use your freezes it will give you such a big damage boost for comet storm and even glacial spike
So while this is true, the advice is bad. You are significantly better off using all types of your freezes to shatter glacial spike and the tier set burst of it than attempting to shatter all of comet storm. Considering most pulls in higher keys will always have your opener ready, you are already shattering comet storm with the winters chill provided by cone of cold. The rest of freezes should be used for glacial spike.
@@kimblee_na5908you’re right. I wouldn’t say the advice is bad. Per se. Shattering comet storm in aoe is 100% worth. But glacial spike does take priority. So if you have or are close to a GS, then yes don’t bother shattering anything else
Sooo many nice tips, thanks for this video
ahh I see that you watched this, lovely!
Jesus Christ, i always saw some guides to mages and by far the best videos are all here. I know that need a lot of work to do those videos, TY sir.
Appeciated!
Thank you. This is really useful. I was wondering do you have a link to your UI please? I like your lay out
nice thx so much. and the rotation AOE on boses in m+?
Hi there, thank you for the great video! begginer question.. do you change your build mid run? as in do you switch to the AOE build when you deal with mobs and then change to your single target build when you get to the boss or??
Thank you
If you mean in M+, you cant swap talents mid-key (unless you leave the Dungeon each time)
gem of a video, i also would like to know where did you get that shatter charges addon
Thanks a lot! Put a lot of effort into this one.
The flakes come with the Weak Aura package which you can find in the description
thank you. good stuff
Hey great guide! Just a little question, for raid single target what do you think about macroing 1.30 min on-use trinket with Ray of frost instead of with icy veins? Since we have shifting power to make Ray of frost a 45 sec CD and use trinket every 2 rays?
Honestly not a bad idea, hmm
Okay, I did some advanced sim and it turns out that indeed this is the most optimal way to use it. Thanks for pointing out, I'll add this under the pinned comment!
What is the addon that you are using for the two snowflakes and the bar below? Your videos are awesome and have helped me to improve greatly. Keep up the good work!
It’s part of a WA package by afenar, should also be embedded in Manather package in the description
Not only does this man slapp the bass, he also slaps the frost mage
Thank u a lot, I don't know if it is up to date 5 months later and a bunch of patches, I will take it as it is for now, I am a former hardcore raider that just returned after 15 years and this is extremely helpful none the less
The Rotation portion is still relevant. The rest is outdated I'm afraid, but do not worry, a new guide for the current season is in works!
Good going, I already learned a lot from the guide and with some experimenting I got something good going, will check out ur new guide too
Hello ! Thanks very much for the guide as a beginner this is very helpful. I have a question, in tyrannical weeks, should I play ST build or stay with AoE build? TY :)
Stay with AOE build for any week, but instead of Chain reaction you may wanna get Ray of Frost for that extra boss dmg.
usefull guide for beginners thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Hey ! Thanks for the tutorial. I'm wondering how you're getting 5 icecicles from your opener. If I frost bolt then flurry I get 2 then one from ice lance which makes 3 (sometimes 4) but never 5. Does it depend if we have our 4p or not ? (I don't even have 2p at the moment).
Thanks in advance !
Frostbolt AND flurry have a 30% chances to generate an additionnal icycles from Splintering Cold. So you can get 4 and still have 2 stacks of winters chill on the target.
Flurry has a chance to give 2 icicles. So it’s possible to get 5 quicker.
Awesome guide , what about single target rotation with AOE build (bosses in mythic plus) i notice there is not ray of frost talent so the st rotation will be a bit different i guess ?
It is the same rotation, minus the ray of frost. All other rules of thumb are still applicable
Nice video. Are the buttons on the screen all you need? and nice snowflakes😅
give or take, I don't have a few things there, like Ice lance.
Thats a very clean ui
Great video ty!
Thank you for guide. Did they patch the travel time of Flurry / Glacial Spike? I am casting Glacial Spike then Flurry directly after, but no Winter's Chill charge is being used up. Is that expected?
Also, what did you do to have the Winter's Chill snowflakes visible even when not in combat? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Its because flurry hast 3 projctiles. So you refresh you WC procs after GS procs one
aoe -=> IV-TW->flurry for shatter (cuz at least one target will get all 100% crit) -> FO -> BZ - > CoZ -> CoC -> FO -> BZ - > CoS ->SP ->(if you have big pack and y aoe ability ready - repeat) -> GS with ice nove (cuz its works like a flurry) - > BZ.
Can you elaborate why GS with ice nova works like a flurry?
It freezes the target and crits the GS. Glacial spike and then ice nova before the spike hits @bkhavityoway23
I've been trying to google but now I give up. How did you make the Winter's Chill things show up all the time with weakauras?
If you are running mythic plus, run Decurse. Don’t just leave it to healers. Tons of dungeons each tier have curses to decurse.
This is very helpful for Waycrest Manor first boss. We timed a +23 without me talenting it and my healer friend wanted to strangle me at the end :3
People are blown away when they see decurses from me and I think it’s hilarious.
Decurse + Ice Floes is mega on Waycrest Manor, Decurse itself is very useful especially 1st boss (it's nightmarish on Tyrannical at +24 and above), using Icefloes allows you to keep the OG blink, which removes snare effects which basically makes you a GOD for 2nd boss. Also Icefloes is useful when 3rd boss is casting his green slug frontal.
@@AtillaPlays1643 I just hate giving up shimmer. You can just take OG ice block and immune the thorns. But blink definitely is better. I just hate not having shimmer
what is the add on you use with the 2 snowflakes for WC?
In aoe rotation why not use flurry before comet storm to guarantee it crits?
If you have 5 icicles and flurry, would you not cast frostbolt, flurry, glacial spike, ice lance? Since the frostbolt would also benefit from the winters chill? Or do you just go right to glacial spike?
use GS into flurry, it's more dps, casting frost bolt takes too long
in this case y cast GS and flurry. If y dont have shatter and flurry y cast GS. It's ez.
Hi. Can You tell me please what to do to have this winter chill effect and others above target as You have. I have them only below my target portrait with health and power bars somewhere on the right side of the screen
Besides the WA that I linked under the description, I just use ''ThreatPlates'' which puts those effects on top of target's HP bar.
What addon do you use for the winters chill
I'm doing decent on mythic+ (just finished a BRH and did 218k dps (475 ilvl)) but still saw that it parsed only 85% lol I must be doing something wrong. One question that I have is: if I use flurry right before my GS hits the target (will consume a WC), do I ice lance afterwards to use WC on Ice Lance? also, when I don't have 5 Icicles (so no GS) but I use Flurry because I got BF, do I use Ice Lance to consume both WCs or I just Ice Lance once and frostbolt the second WC (supposing I don't have any other skills to use)? thanks!
Ohh that's very big, so here's the catch:
If you have 1 WC on target, just use glacial spike and immediately go into Frostbolt, DO NOT use ice lance as that would hit the target before GS and consume the stack.
For scenarios where you have 2 WC and no GS/RAY/Comet Storm/Orb... etc you just use them with 2 ice lances and not with frostbolt.
218k is okay for BRH, but this week is Forti + bolstering so adds stay alive for a long time, more dps seems possible at your Ilvl. However, the strength of Frost in M+ comes when tank is brave , focused and can do GIGA pulls ( even though bolster limits the size 😢) and keep adds stacked on Orb/Blizzard so sometimes dps is not always dependant on your skill.
If you wanna discuss more, consider joining channel discord or checking out various social media links.
Hope this was helpful!
@@AtillaPlays1643 it helps a lot, thank you so much for the super insightful and quick help!
we had a moonkin with us and he kept pushing mobs off my blizzard, I think he was really competitive and wanted to win damage done hahahah we died a lot too :/
my crit is way too high (32%, need to chase some drops to decrease it), but I'll get there! thanks again for the tips and keep doing the amazing job you do!
the 2x piece crafted cloth set stacks with other enchanted embellishments? i/e shadowflame patches ? or no?
No. And he’s incorrect on the embellishments. Even for m+ you want 2x Shadowflame. It’s better than that 2pc
Aren't you using up your winters chill before ray of frost hits? What am I missing? Edit: I got it. Frostbolt hits after first flurry bolt, so you've still got 2 stacks on target.
Where are you from ? The only mage video that I could understand English in. Do you have an accent from any region?
I have the Oakhearts trinket and it regularly does 8-10% of my damage
What addons do u use for ur frost mage
mr atilla idk if u watching this but thank so much i am out of my m+ runs with 200k overall and this is my 3rd day on frost so not bad , my only issue is ST on my m+ build , please any tips can help ? i get lost a lot with the rotation
Glad to be helpful!
As far as ST in m+ talents are concerned, it’s the same thing as regular ST rotation minus the ray of frost. All other rules of thumb apply.
Great video! Seems the AOE has changed most. I was maybe confused or maybe the new tier changed things for ST. I was usually frost bolt-flurry-ice lance-ray of frost, now it seems you are throwing Comet storm in between flurry and whatever is next. Is that right?
Also, I am sure a lot of mages know this but i did not: spec out of shimmer for Waycrest Manor. You can blink out of the thorns on the courtyard boss. Huge time saver for dps.
shimmer doesn’t do it??
@@bkhavityoway23 nope, shimmer doesn't break anything, just gives you a wish version of blink.
please tell me where i can get this HUD where i can see Winterschill or my Stacks ??? is it and addon i am new to the game
Maybe a stupid question but where or how can i install the 2 flakes that on your screen ?
I think if you're at 2 or 3 icicles, it would be more beneficial to frostbolt > flurry(proc'd) than spend fof procs with no WC.
what add on are you using for your bars and to get the snowflakes for your frost mage?
I guess they are weak auras, I would love links!
I’m trying my hardest to do all this as you described but I’m still doing less DPS than the tank. 😅 I’m shocked at how low the DPS is if you’re not doing it perfectly.
I really miss the days when we were 2 buttons Andys, but hey, at least it's the better one the mage specs this time around!
Feeling the same. Im 460 doing 60k dps =(
frost is so unforgiving if you dont get the rotation perfect
Can’t imagine keybinding beloralor with icyveins is a good play.
Great video again man ! However, I somehow have my elemental pet not attacking when in combat, anyone has a solution ?
It's probably an animation bug, nothing to worry about.
@@AtillaPlays1643 Ye, I wish it was. the elemnental gives you a charge of flurry right away but not mine since it is not attacking. I guess it's an issue with the pet bar... Idk how to fix it but I'll figure it out
why does my second orb cast not proc when using youre aoe opener?
I see you use azure set, what about chrono? At least for M+. Those random haste as little time warp looks so sweet...
Haven't seen people use it tbh, I've seen people use silken, the azure set and sometimes shadowflame patch
What is your transmog?
plz make a video for the fire mage 🙏❤
I am ilvl 445 frost mage. should I up my ilvl then enchant it, or enchabt it now then enchant again when I am on higher gear?
You can slap on some cheap entchants on Veteran Gear and then when you get Champ/Hero/myth Tracks Gear use the more expensive
You want double on use for frost. Balefire + belo is BIS
This is only true if you have Belorelos, any other double use combination is bad. You want to align balefire with Icy Veins and then you can use Belorelos for max dmg. However running Belo + Mirror for example would be very terrible!
I used to main mage but I’m returning to the game after a few years of being gone. Lots has changed and it seems like it has gotten more complicated. I’m glad I checked this video, the Icy Veins guide seems outdated.
Race doesn't matter that much anymore for dps but for survival it does matter for example on bursting weeks dwarf's and dark iron dwarf's can just use their racials and the bursting is gone. What I'm trying to say is play whatever you like, it doesn't matter that much
What mage addons are you using?
what is that transmog? its so cool!
hehe :3 Thank you!
Wow uh. Yeah I think I may go try fire instead XD
I’ve been leveling through shadowlands to catch up and play dragon flight and this is kinda ridiculous to do compared to good old brain freeze and fingers of frost management.
How do you keep so many active abilities mapped out? I’ve got 1-5, shift 1-5, forward and backward mouse, AND shift and control with the mouse buttons. And still not enough room for everything.
1-6, alt + 1-6, alt+ f,g,x,c,v ...etc SOOOOOOO MANY KEYBINDS MAN!
mean while hunters be like 1-3
what weak aura is that?
How did you get commet storm reset on AOE rotation @19:34?
nvm
10:00 why do you start with FROST BOLT ? why not start directly with flurry ?
What about 2 set ?
*Attila
You are triggering a whole country...
Hy, What add-on are you using?
Lots of them. The utility stuff that you see comes from Weakauras and the plates are from Threatplates
Is race actually that important? I play night elf cus i like the looks
Not unless you are pushing really high keys or doing mythic raiding. I used to be a void elf (cause of the same reason, it looked cool), but it's racial active was practically useless. I rerolled Dwarf for Crit Passive (a tiny bit more dmg then void elf, not really that important) and the racial (main reason why I rerolled), dwarf racial is OP is raid and Mythic + , removing harmful effects, those self-dispels are crazy good most of the time.
@@AtillaPlays1643 Can you tell me the weak aura/addon for the 2 winter chill snowflakes you have in the center of your screen? And the ice cicle bars?
addons?
How are you using blizzard at target? macro?
/cast [@cursor] Blizzard
Hello, during your full demonstration of ST rotation, you actually did it incorrectly, even though you described that well during the opener. You didn't use shifting power after orb and you continued with normal rotation, which inherently causes your CDs not to come as you need eventually.
Also you have one little mistake on AOE as well, after you use cone of cold and frozen orb, you will never have blizzard already active (if done properly), and you should always prioritize comet storm right after frozen orb (after cone of cold), sooner you use your comet storm, better due to the fact of having increased dmg.
Also third note, you want to prioritize Pet Freeze during Icy Veins over Frost/Ice Nova
Yeah you always shifting power now after orb. We don’t wait for the end of icy veins like we used to.
Jesus when did frost get so complicated
