Hi guys , well th purpose of this thread is to encourage my fellow mages to raid as frost.
Since 3.3.3 i've ben playing around with fire and frost to see if it was worth it.
First thing i noted was that Nibelung is really worth for frost , especially on trash mobs , on ICC i got around 7 valkyrs up at a time, this never happened to me with arcane.
Well i tried frost on a couple of bosses namely saurfang and festergut, and the dps was good , about 5% bellow the other mage on the guild(arcane) , but on bosses that my guild was yet to kill(queen) i went arcane.
Well we were having trouble on her Incite Terror cuz too many ppl were dying and i started to ice block on the terrors , the proble is that with arcane you only get to use 1 IB and the other form of protection would be mana shield but we are never gonna use that.
So yesterday i decided to try frost on the queen.
And it was just amazing , first tries on the burst i was neck to neck with the arcane mage of the guild , he was about 14k on the burst and i was about 13k. After that he got bitten and there's no way to compare after that.
But around the fourth try i really "burst" and got bitten first .... my god amazing i did a 76k Deep Freeze on her.
But what i mean is that the overall dps of my arcane friend and me was just the same on most tries we ended at 10k each.
So from now on i personally am gonna raid frost.
Just so you guys don't think we are noobs , here are the armories.
