FAQs

What is the easiest mage spec in Dragonflight? ›

Frost is the easiest specialization to level. Its mechanics are simple and don't take long to learn. Moreover, he has a lot of AoE damage, and his abilities slow down opponents, which can help a lot.

Frost Mage Strengths and Weaknesses

Flexible damage profile that provides substantial burst during Icy Veins, while not being too weak without it. Very effective against two stacked targets with Splitting Ice. Extra damage to rootable enemies thanks to Shatter.

In much simpler terms, the baseline Frost Mage rotation can be summed up as: Frostbolt until you get Fingers of Frost or Brain Freeze. Prioritize using Fingers of Frost procs over Brain Freeze, unless you are casting. Use Frozen Orb and Icy Veins on cooldown.

For Horde - I would recommend Troll, Orc, and Goblin as the best races for Frost Mage. For Alliance - Human, Voidelf, Mechagnomes, and Dwarfs are all very close, so you can pick whatever you like.

While the rotation can be punishing, Frost Mage is relatively easy to play.

Frost Mage Combat Potions in Dragonflight

The best potion for Frost Mages is Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power, but the cheaper and weaker Elemental Potion of Power is also an option.

Frost Death Knight Leveling Viability in Dragonflight

Frost is a solid leveling spec overall. However, playing as an Unholy Death Knight may be easier at low levels as Unholy gets uncapped AoE through Epidemia earlier than Frost can get Invierno sin remordimientos buffed to its full potential with Tormenta inminente.

Frost is easier for raiding and mplus. Remios: them. Fire is simplified if you take the talent that buffs hardcasting pyro.

Unlike the Observer for Warlocks, the removal of the Summon Water Elemental spell brings a significant change for Frost Mages. This decision has transformed the class into a pure ranged caster. However, the Mages' aquatic friend will still appear during burst phases as part of the new Icy Veins ability.

Always try to cast Frostbolt before Flurry, as due to the travel time on Flurry it will hit first allowing the Frostbolt to benefit from Winters Chill. After Flurry, you should consume Winters Chill stacks using your hardest hitting abilities.

Best Leveling Spec for Mage in Dragonflight

We recommend Frost for most of your Mage Leveling needs. This is because almost all spells of Frost will slow or root your targets, allowing you to kite very easily. It also has a lot of burst damage for low health enemies which allow you to quickly kill most quest mobs.

Frost Mage is generally the most straightforward Mage spec to level with due to its lack of reliance on cooldowns to deal damage and exceptionally strong area of effect damage.

Fun fact, it's actually difficult. Asmongold who has played Warcraft for 10 years+ was unable to get the mage tower mount. Only managing to complete 1 of the challenges before completely giving up. Also requires for him to heal, which I know he doesn't do.
