OMG - I love frost
So I respeced my mage to 31/20 (frost/arcane). Well, thats what she will be in 7 levels. Just missing the remaining ranks in clear-casting, magic absorbtion & improved CS/AE.
Mage Talents
Minimum Required Level: 60
Required Talent Points: 51
Arcane Talents - 20 point(s)
- Arcane Subtlety - rank 2/2
- Improved Arcane Missiles - rank 3/5
- Magic Absorption - rank 5/5
- Arcane Concentration - rank 5/5
- Improved Arcane Explosion - rank 3/3
- Improved Counterspell - rank 2/2
- Frost Warding - rank 2/2
- Elemental Precision - rank 3/3
- Ice Shards - rank 5/5
- Frostbite - rank 3/3
- Improved Frost Nova - rank 2/2
- Piercing Ice - rank 3/3
- Improved Blizzard - rank 2/3
- Arctic Reach - rank 2/2
- Shatter - rank 5/5
- Ice Block - rank 1/1
- Winter's Chill - rank 2/5
- Ice Barrier - rank 1/1
Ice barrier is such a nice spell, I don't know what I did without it before. Previously, I was PoM/Frost. Put Ice barrier, PW:S & mana shield together and thats a significant amount of damage absorbtion. Together with the new frost ward functionality, pity the mob frost casters!
Winters chill is also turning out to be extremely nice. Admittedly I only have 2 ranks, so it doesn't proc as often for me, but when I was running around with another frost mage (level 60) who did have all 5 ranks, it was very much becoming a crit-fest.
We were also a becomming fans of the magic absorbtion proc. Basically, you have a chance to regain some mana when you resist offensive spells cast upon you. Mo (the other mage) was regaining upwards of 360+ mana per proc.
Also different in this build is the number of +hit, -mob resist talents I have. Anecdotally, I'm already experiencing a much lower resist rate to my spells.
The only real complaint I have now is that my mana pool doesn't seem to last as long as it used to. Yay for 8 minute evo, I suppose =)
