Frost Mage DPS Simulations — Dragonflight 10.1
On this page, you will find a number of useful simulation results for your Frost Mages in World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.1.
Dragonflight Pre-Patch Warning
Simulation support is limited! While the class is fully implemented, the APL changes are not yet complete. Simulations will be somewhat inaccurate for at least the beginning of the pre-patch. Please check back later, or check Altered Time's #research channel for live updates.
How to Simulate your Frost Mage
With the advent of certain tools such as Raidbots, simulating your character has now become simple enough that we can recommend even the average player to simulate their characters. It is through advanced simulations that many of the recommendations in this guide are found, and by doing your own you can easily figure out what talents you should be using with your particular gearing combination, what gear to equip, what Legendaries to equip, and more. Below there is a video guiding you on how to sim your character, and links to the addon required by the video as well as Raidbots.
Information on how stats interact, and how stat weights can be incorrect,
especially around the Shatter cap, please refer to the Stats page:
Frost Mage Racial Bonus Simulation
Keep in mind that the following simulation is done with the default T25 Mythic profile. Your own DPS gains will be different, however the difference between races is fairly small regardless. In most cases, you can simply pick which race looks best to you with minimal disruption to your damage output.
Frost Mage Full Talent Comparison Simulation
A full simulation of all possible talent options is incredibly long, and
computationally costly to run. Many talent options are meaningless to run
knowing that, for instance, Ice Nova is not a great talent in
general.
That said, for those enterprising people among us, the following is a script you can append to a simulation input to show a full set of the 243 options available. This should simply be pasted at the end of either your SimulationCraft input, if using the local client, or at the bottom of an advanced input on Raidbots:
