Reckoning Bomb - Unleashes the Reckoning upon the Scourge, inflicting ridiculous amounts of damage. Some might even say the damage is ludicrous.

sure, nerf our snares but then buff our damage. snares is the only thing we bring to the table in rated pvp

DK's cannot be slowed under 75% mouvement speed. It's a nightmare for a mage running +slow in talents. Also death advance? They are not the king of mobilities I give you that, but they are far from weak to frost mages. You have AMS, deathgrip(Which can be casted while rooted, compared to charge which can't) Originally Posted by Onizuka

Frost DK have one, but they are so weak in pvp right now everyones kicks their ass.
On a side note,
I am astouded by the inexperience of people here in PvP complaining about everything. I understand that it's early expansion and all classes need tuning but this is so far from being broken.
It's so easy to give up and say "Ahh that class is broken, let's complains on the forums and see how that helps.
Frostbite is far from broken, it's strong in 2's (As mentionned in this post) and that's it... A frost mage taking frostbite in 3's is not good at all.
If you think it's so broken, play a Frost mage, youll see... It's not as broken as you think, in fact, it kinda sucks considering it dr's your nova + pet nova.

Sadly enough, Arena isn't about 1v1 and this thread isn't about it either... Originally Posted by NoXaL99

I'm pretty sure everyone here know already what I'm gonna write, but here it goes...
All stated abilities in arena concludes into:
1) AMS is getting rekt almost instantly if used to negate magic damage (but its OP against CC), too bad tho that DKs are the training target.
2) Death's Advance is great but on a beautiful 45 sec CD, which unless used with discretion DKs end up standing rooted, just like the rest.
3) Deathgrip is also another great ability, but if you use it to just get mage when rooted, then I'm sorry, but you have no future in arena...
TL;DR; DKs aren't saved by one bit from passive maximum 75% slow, Death's Advance, AMS, Deathgrip.
Arena isn't about 1v1.
1% overall DK representation on ALL competitive Arena ladder (EU and NA) over 1800+ rating is my backing up argument.
O.T. Mage is far from broken, if melees think Frostbite is OP then blame either your play style or your bad healer teammate (or both)...Reckoning Bomb - Unleashes the Reckoning upon the Scourge, inflicting ridiculous amounts of damage. Some might even say the damage is ludicrous.

no they don't, in wotlk mages had 2 separate root drs and 4 separate root abilities, now they only have one root dr Originally Posted by Himhim
in what way? the removal of separate root drs? or the removal of trash debuffs as dispel protection? Originally Posted by Himhim

2018-10-05, 03:57 PM #26Deleted1) They have an extra root since legion as most now play water elemental root, I don't know if it was recently added or talents were changed to make this root more viable. In my opinion frost mages were pretty balanced vs melee in Legion in 1v1 or 2v2 and they only had frost nova and frostbite then (now they also have water ele root). Originally Posted by Dizzeeyooo

3) Ray of frost is a snare that becomes a root with no dr if allowed to fully channel, no it's not a proper root but it's an extra snare with no dr which makes the roots frost mages do have more powerful when used together.

ah right, when you say frost mage roots are buffed you are comparing BFA frost mage to Legion frost mage Originally Posted by Himhim
the person you initially replied to was talking about wotlk frost mage!
all of these roots share dr, so adding an additional root ability does not automatically = higher root uptime Originally Posted by Himhim

Is this a serious topic? I mean I am playing as a frost mage and would never run frostbite. It's an awful talent. RnG based. You put down your frozen orb and it procs 3 times you can kiss goodbye your frost nova/pet freeze. It shares DR with them.

I've actually specced out of Frostbite because it screwed me up when I really needed a root.

No, it was made by a person who didn't rotate their gap closers properly and abuse the fact that frost nova would be on DR after two 3 second roots from Frostbite. Originally Posted by Morinas

I don't think any high rated mage would ever use frostbite, DRing your own roots randomly isn't something you want.
RBGs I can see it being strong, but not something that's overpowered.
