Blackwing Lair (Phase 5) Frost Mage Best in Slot

Because most of your damage comes from Balefire Bolt Icon Balefire Bolt and Frostfire Bolt Icon Frostfire Bolt, getting gear with Fire or Frost Spell damage is almost equivalent to getting Spell damage gear!

Sunken Temple (Phase 3) Frost Mage Best in Slot

This list is made up of Sunken Temple raid drops, world drops, profession gear, quest rewards and dungeon drops.

As Frostfire Bolt Icon Frostfire Bolt is your main damage source, Green of Frozen Wrath or of Fiery Wrath bind on equip gear is great on the slots you can find it for. Most slots do have stronger options, however, as listed below.

2.6.

Blackfathom Depths (Phase 1) Frost Mage Best in Slot

This list is made up of Blackfathom Deeps raid drops, world drops, quest rewards and dungeon drops. While green of Frozen Wrath bind on equip gear can also be good, most slots have stronger option, especially this early into the game when Mana pools are still low and Intellect is stronger than it would usually be.
