sigh.... the majority might be right... I might have to stop defending frost tooth and nail as of today... FML
I play 3-4 styles of Frost. i love the variety and different paths. Damage is good in mythics and heroics at ilevel 833 with a legendary on, usually the bracers. I just got Sindragosa last night and need 14k to next trait. I took 2k AP and feed Apocalypse to get the first gold dragon- Scourge of the Worlds and used a epic Normal fire relic and a 835 shadow relic. hit a 112 target dummy for 3 minutes with a sloppy unfamiliar play.... and saw 26-33k increase... without gargoyle and using the legendary bracers.
i will make a video when I get home and post showing my gear, talents, etc. kinda in disbelief a weapon I gave 2k AP in was doing more ST damage then weapons I been attatched to since level 100... FML
the frost specs-
1-Talons, Freezing Fog, Icecap, Runic Atune, and GA- mostly OB spam and HB on rime. Shorten pillars CD then unload all frost damage (RW, FS, HB, SIndragosa, GA)
2- Shattering Strikes, same as above- same shit but FS crits for almost 400k and my panties get moist. I prefer speed though with IT
3- Talons, Frozen Pulse, Avalanche, Scythe, GA- lower my haste as that works better with Pulse which ends up being 3-4 of my damage. Even though Scythe is 1 rune I tend to have a lot of down time and Pulse just amps up. OB is still used to get a Rime for dots.
4- Murder, Fog, Icecap, Attune, BoS- keep it rolling and avoid Frost Strike at all costs. shattering can be subbed in with high haste like 19%ish
5- (Legend Helm spec) Talons, Fog, Icecap, Attune, GA- good AoE with GA and HB while RW is rolling. I prefer the bracers though but isnt this what Beta is for? testing shit out
I get to 170k will pillars and opener then sit around 160k +/-
UH i tried for 4 minutes at 110
Sores, PP, Castigator (crit is 28%), Belcher, DT, Soul Reaper. Haste is 19% but have not tried Arbiter yet. Used the bracers. SR cause I am a fan of speed hit and Apocalypse can get to 2.3 attack speed which is fucking sweet for a 2H. Did 8 wounds then popped Apoc and a sloppy DT, DC spam, stack wounds and burst them. no gargoyle. sat at a STEADY 186-190k....
so now the plan Sunday is to run some dungeons as UH even with 5 traits and see whats up. Change some talents around and get real world real player xp since no sims are out and sims are tools anyways, not solid law.
its beta and I change talents pretty much after every random dungeon and just started mythic 0 yesterday. ill see if stupid AMD Raptor works and I can make a fast youtube video showing gear, talents, and what not then hit a dummy for a few minutes. the few different ways I play frost and the one way everyone does UH minus Epidemic. Again, I leveled as Frost and pumped all AP into that spec and have not touched UH since the night before pre patch. Same name as my sig on the beta if you wanna talk in game or point and laugh and do a /spit, i like the attention
