Simcraft does a nice job of showing frost dps. I'd be quite happy taking that for my mage on 10 man runs.
You are a complete and utter idiot. At least take a second to read some of the other posts in the thread. To repeat (since you're obviously not capable of scrolling up): With 2 piece T10, Brain Freeze will be a dps increase. On top of the fact that Brain Freeze is already a useful talent - situationally useful, since it won't do much to your standing-still-and-nuking dps, but how many fights allow for constant standing there and nuking anyway ?Originally Posted by Strykzor
Just a note on this, tested frost dps in VOA 25 today in preparation for the patch. Ended up around 5.5k ish dps on most fights, in my admittedly pretty poor gear, but a lot higher on damage done than I expected (don't need to evocate at all really). The thing I'd note is I had close to 100% up-time on Brain Freeze with 3 points in it. I wasn't using the Brain Freezes unless I moved, so assuming you will use them as soon as they proc once you have 2 pieces of T10, that's pretty much a constant 12% haste, which is very nice indeed.
Frost doest still need more buffs: Glyph of Frostbolt needs a buff (to maybe 15%, since I still don't think this would make people use it for PvP). Deep freeze needs to work correctly with shatter - I don't believe it does at the moment. Glyph of Deep Freeze needs changing to -anything- else. Glyph of Ice Lance needs buffing to more than 4 times - something more like 6 times. Water Elemental needs better scaling. But I'll quite happily take these buffs to play frost again for 10 mans
