However, BoS lost its interest in Legion during ToS, in favor of Obliteration when the talents got switched around.
As for spells :
- Howling blast is used everytime you have Rime, which is in average every 10 seconds ;
- Frost Pillar is used about every 20 seconds, depending on procs ;
- Remorseless Winter is used almost on cooldown as well, which is 20 seconds ;
- Cold heart can be used more often than every 40 seconds depending on procs and where you are in the fight.
If you don't differentiate rune spenders, it's like saying you don't differentiate Combo points spenders for rogue and they only have 3 buttons. Besides, Fsc can be used on single target when you have enough mastery, especially with the Honed Mind corruption + 3 frostwhelp.
And yes, playing the class efficiently is the difference between ranking green and ranking purple. You actually can overcap your RP, or let rune sleep depending on your RP count, RW cooldown, using frostwhelp at the right time depending on your resources and stuff.
For instance :
- it's more profitable to overcap RP if it means extending RW with 10 GS stacks, or if it means using Frostscythe on a KM against multiple targets ;
- You can let tour runes sleep if you're confident there'll be downtimesand you're AOEing with Rime followed by a RP dump during a mastery pro, especially if you have one or more latent chill ;
- Delaying RW by a few seconds if it means you'll stack it high quickly can be profitable ;
- Pillar usage changes depending on your essence ;
- Cold heart usage changes depending on your azerites. You can sit at 20 stacks for 10 seconds if it means lining it up with a worldvein resonance or BotE, or use it at 15 at the end of one of these.
Every class can be memorized in less than a day, WoW isn't hard. But saying you cannot mess FDK is simply wrong, especially when you're not theorizing what to do and actually do it.
