Hey All,
So I was doing the raid testing yesterday and have been mainly playing frost on the Beta. I've been trying to keep up with all of the WoD discussion but just wanted to post here with how I have been playing and wether or not people have any other tid-bits they would add/remove.
For Talents, yesterday I ran with: Blazing Speed, Ice Barrier, Ring of Frost, Greater Invis, Frost Bomb, Mirror Images and Prismatic Crystal. I had used IF until the nerfs hit it and the buff to MI is also looking very good.
My opener consisted of:
4 secs - Pre-Pot
3 secs - Mirror Images
2 secs - Frostbolt
0 secs - Prismatic Crystal
Frost Bomb on Crystal
Frozen Orb and Icy Veins
Spam Lances / FFB on Crystal
I had not even realised until today that Water Jet was available on Welly so I didn't use it but I don't know if it is worth it during the opener as you will most likely be spamming lances onto the crystal with Frost Bomb up, it might be better to use it right after the crystal / ice lance spam is done, what do you guys think?
I'm also unsure if popping Images when I do is a good idea as I am losing 3 secs of them and they hit pretty hard since the buff, It might be better to lose one global to gain back those 3 secs and pop them after pull.
Once the opener is done, I am spamming my normal rotation just like current live, Frostbolt as filler, FFB when procs and Ice Lance after the FFBs. I have only being applying Frost Bomb when I have Ice Lance procs up as I can't see a value in having it up 100% of the time and it is a wasted cast if you get no IL procs during its duration.
Having Crystal and Orb come off CD every minute seems very OP right now and especially with Images on a 2min CD, our burst every 2 mins is insane. I understand a tuning pass has to happen and this will change though.
So what about you guys? What talents/rotations have you been using?
The first test I did with a Level 100 PVE Premade (who had 4 Spirit pieces, wtf?) But the second test I did with a PVP toon in all out Multistrike gear which seemed to do significantly more damage.
