Frost Mage Legion: Remix Guide — The War Within (11.2.5)

Welcome to our Legion Remix Guide for Frost Mage!

This page is entirely dedicated to playing Frost Mage in the new event. If you want to know more about Legion Remix in general, for example how it works and what rewards you can earn, you can check out our dedicated Legion Remix page!

In Legion Remix you will have to pick one of five paths in your Artifact Weapon to spend your Infinite Power on. These five trees each have their own unique active ability as well as multiple passives that increase your damage, healing, or survivability. Below are a few recommendations depending on your playstyle, but keep in mind that experimentation and playing around with the different themes and passive is half the fun of this temporary game-mode. Picking your favorite choice based on theme and visuals is perfectly valid!

We recommend playing with Storm, at least early on. Primarily because it allows you to cast while moving, when most of the event will revolve around people zooming around killing things extremely quickly. Fel will be a very powerful option a bit later on, once you can source an accessory with the cast while moving trait, or if you feel confident enough in your abilities right away.

Feel free to pick any of the others if they interest you. This is a Remix event, damage is going to be through the roof and for the most part, DPS is irrelevant in most group content.

Here's a quick overview of each of the trees:

• Nature: This tree offers strong damage procs, while the active ability Call of the Forest shields you as well as dealing moderate AoE damage to targets in front of you. The passives in the tree provide good damage and survivability, and are particularly powerful when teaming up with other players.
• Fel: This is a purely damage-focused tree, allowing you to summon a Dreadlord with Twisted Crusade that will summon a Rain of Fire to deal damage in an area. With the capstone you can re-use this ability for a massive amount of AoE burst around the Dreadlords location.
• Arcane: This tree mixes survivability and DPS. It's active ability, Naran's Everdisc, deals massive AoE damage to targets in front of you, and you can benefit from this up to 3 times if you catch the orb as it returns to you, but does require you to move a bit to catch it. It also suffers from any ground-travel bugs like Frozen Orb has historically.
• Storm: The likely go-to choice early on due to the passive ability of being able to cast while moving. The active ability Tempest Wrath deals damage in a circle around you, and each target hit will increase the damage further. A lot of this tree is melee range, so picking up an accessory with either cast while moving effect early means we can change over to another tree.
• Holy: This tree is a bit more healing-oriented, and can be surprisingly useful in early Heroic World Tier progression with the tree's healing it provides. It's active ability Vindicator's Judgment will deal massive AoE damage and healing, while its passives will provide regular procs of healing to yourself or party members if you team up with other players

Below you will find our recommended leveling build and talent pickup order for your Frost Mage in Legion Remix. Depending on how you choose to level up you will want to make some changes, i.e. if you decide to just do a variety of quests, or want to mostly level in dungeons, so we have listed builds for all activities.

Please keep in mind that this Leveling section is specific to Legion Remix. For our The War Within Leveling Guide for Frost Mage, you can head to the page below.

Since Legion Remix is the perfect opportunity to level classes you haven't played before, we wanted to keep things as simple as possible for those learning the spec. Simply use the slider to select your level to learn a little bit more about how and when to use the abilities you just unlocked.

Move the slider below to make the guide update to your level!

1. Icy Veins
2. Flurry
3. Frozen Orb
4. Ice Lance when Fingers of Frost is active, or after a Flurry to consume Winter's Chill stacks
5. Frostbolt

1. Cry, and try to tab Frostbolts between everything you have pulled so you can try to maintain distance. Generally a bad idea to try and AoE before level 6.
2. Frozen Orb
3. Blizzard on cooldown to help reset Frozen Orb
4. Ice Nova
5. Shifting Power
6. Arcane Explosion
