Frost Mage DPS Sanctum of Domination Raid Guide — Shadowlands 9.1.5

On this page, you will find Frost Mage specific information to deal with each boss in the Sanctum of Domination raid.

This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Frost Mage and what you can do to deal with each fight as best as possible.

We advise you to use the following talents against The Tarragrue.

• Level 15: Lonely Winter
• Level 25: Shimmer or Ice Floes
• Level 30: Rune of Power (situational options: Incanter's Flow or Focus Magic)
• Level 35: Chain Reaction
• Level 40: No specific recommendation
• Level 45: Splitting Ice
• Level 50: Thermal Void

We advise you to use the following Legendary against The Tarragrue: Slick Ice.

There are three subsets of Anima powers for this fight. DPS picks, utility picks, and "we are literally planning the raid around you" picks.

DPS picks, in rough order of DPS:

1. Elethium Weights
2. Huddled Carvings, if you can maintain the buff.
3. Potent Acid Gland
4. Tremorbeast Heart
5. Either Erratic Howler or Heart-Seeking Fang if you can stand in melee range.
6. Obleron Venom
7. Any non-Mastery Obleron powers.

Utility picks will mostly be Ever-Beating Heart if no one has taken it, and you have that job. Disembodied Mystic Hands if you have no Enrage dispels. Oddly Intangible Key can be fun for ignoring Hungering Mist mechanic entirely.

The last set are mechanics that are either incredibly dangerous, or require raid-wide cooperation. Lumbering Form is likely the highest DPS gain out of the bunch, but you knock people around during Hungering Mist and it will kill them. Consider pairing it with Oddly Intangible Key, and never stacking on anyone. Ten of Towers is also potentially interesting, except if you die. Given it stuns the boss as well, the only danger is missing a soak or dying during Hungering Mist. The last is Twisted Samophlange. This is incredibly powerful to other people, but not to the person who picked it. If you can layer a lot of them in the group, this is the best pick, but it requires luck to get it on everyone, and staying mostly stacked to make sure everyone gets the buff.

Outside of Anima powers, there is not much to this boss. Ice Block can be used to soak just about every mechanic if needed.
