Question, is going 2pc T19 along with 4pc T20 still the best option with the 2pc T19 nerf? or is it better to just optimize the higher ilvl gear from ToS

Hey guys, fire mage here switching to frost for ToS because i am bored of fire. I am a mythic raider. I've paid no attention to frost since this new patch and im curious if hands and wrist combo are still the legendaries im wanting to aim for.
Is there any upside to not going lonely winter in the new raid? Like any reason you'd want the pet's utility/nova. I'm coming back from a hiatus this week.
How are you ranking the trinkets at? This is what i got from raidbots all 900 except tome (910)
Gear Comparison (DPS)
Tsm - 1,009,704
Tome(910) - 1,008,759
900 vers - 1,006,491
Terror - 1,003,119
Charm - 1,002,380
Spectral - 993,483
Great info. Thank you
interesting. while I know it's been said here (and many other places) that individual setup is important, I'm a little surprised at how different I am seeing my own trinket rankings. for the new trinkets, i'm seeing Terror > Tome > Charm > TSM > Spectral. The on use and the procs are surprising to me. My top two combinations are terror/tome or charm/terror
Overall, I would echo the question on if anyone has a general rule of thumb about the BiS trinket combo or trinket priority ranking for the ToS trinkets so I can potentially spend my seals more wisely?
I think one of the reasons i ranked terror so low was because it sent me way over the crit cap, I got one at 920 since and messed around with enchants/gear to get slightly below again.
So far been sticking to this as well as copious simming.

Thank you for all the work you put into the community.
Great and easy guide.
From my own experience and some researches I found out that:
1. Tome has ~1% in dps list.
2. Buff has 15-18% duration throughout the fight and probably useless since crit goes overcap.
3. Int as a stat stick.

At the same time Terror has ~5% damage and TSM has aprox the same. Plus stats those trinkets have. What makes me think that Tome is pretty much controversial.
About "On use" trinkets for frost mage.
It's quite good since frost has 2 different source of damage: 1. kind of sustained ice lance damage; 2. Burst moments like openning. So, it's very nice to have a trinket which you can use for more efficient burst combo.

Thanks for the detailed guide!
I will try a mage in this specialization
Hello!
If both Ebonbolt and Frozen Orb comes off CD at the exact same time, which one to use first? I have 4-set.
Thank you!

Hi,
Anyone have the order of spells on your keyboard/screen?
I'm doing Frostbolt, Flurry, Ice Lance, Frozen Orb, Blizzard, Ray of Frost, Ebonbolt, Comet Storm, Frost Nova, Cone of Cold, Open for the Mattrix Crystal Bomb (or the other), Mirror Image
Anyone have any suggestions for improving all this ... it's getting frustrating not being able to take down that turkey at the start of the MacAree set of stuff ...
Draka/Hipgnosis (Horde)/Frost Mage with 898 Gear, but really suffering on bad dps in general.
Thx in advance
That seems...all over the place. Its hard to say where you can improve since I don't have logs available.
Take a look at the guide over at Alter Time here for gameplay and talent tips.
Chesder has a great TellMeWhen setup thats updated for 7.3.0 over here; it tells you which spells to cast next in your rotation, and should help your dps. Its not perfect, but its very good when you're new to Frost.
Hopefully those help.
