What should frost mages reforge

Belt Sponsored Links. I think the magic number for me is That way I can benefit from the procs a little more. That just seems so low for haste though. Anybody else share thoughts on this? However, Akraen one of the top frost mages goes full haste with no cap. His playstyle requires snapshotting procs to refresh his Nether Tempest and is based on multidotting for most of his damage.

And along those lines I've always been uncomfortable about clipping Living Bomb since the last tick provides a burst of damage. Should I just snapshot regardless? Jade Serpent pot, sure. Jade Spirit?

Not worth it. Affdots has a plugin for Mages: Affdots - Mage. Very helpful. All playstyles work but have their limitations that's the most important thing to take away from what Frost build you choose. Haste to or then stack mastery is the best for Single Target. This allows you to switch back and forth between and Arcane and Frost when needed.

Complete Haste stacking with complete attention to snapshotting will yield higher results on a multi-dot fight. Mixture build is based on not exceeding the GCD. With this build you're basically aiming to get to a nearby breakpoint and then turn the rest to mastery or vice versa. This build is versatile but falls short of the other two in their respective fights. Affdots sounds awesome.

In a lot of fights I'm looking at my dps procs and wondering "Uhhh do I gain or lose dps by snapshotting right now? So for 40 seconds or less actually you wont have meta gem proc for 40 sec straight we should stop go for haste?
