Talents
Dragonflight Raid Talent Builds for Frost Mage
Single Target and Cleave
Our default build, used on the majority of fights.
Be sure to make use of the 'Copy Export String' button to import the build directly into your game!
Sustained AoE
Be sure to make use of the 'Copy Export String' button to import the build directly into your game!
Eranog
Talents/Build
Single target.
Tips
Flamerift cannot be
Ice Blocked off. Make sure that
Blizzard is ticking on the add stack after Flamerift for the slows to
start on them.
Incinerate apparently can be
Ice Blocked; however, if
this is happening. The rest of your raid is very likely dead.
It might make for wipe recovery if you happen to be an Engineer.
For more information, please refer to our Eranog guide.
Terros
Talents/Build
Use Single Target build.
Tips
Ice Block can be used against
Rock Blast on Normal and
Heroic, but not on Mythic. Attempting to solo it on Mythic will destroy the
raid.
Alter Time is a handy button to deal with soaking
Rock Blast, as it allows you to snap back out of the explosion that
happens afterward and heal up.
For more information, please refer to our Terros guide.
The Primal Council
Talents/Build
Use the AoE build. The bosses should be stacked at all times.
Tips
Ice Block can allow you to solo
Meteor Axes.
Ice Cold can likely allow the same by itself, and will absolutely let
you solo if you stack it with
Greater Invisibility.
For more information, please refer to our The Primal Council guide.
Sennarth, the Cold Breath
Talents/Build
Use Single Target. Most of this fight's relevant damage is either 2 target, or single target at the end.
Tips
Make sure to hit the boss with your cleave if possible. The hitbox
for the boss is gigantic, but make sure that you throw Frozen Orb in
ways that it will be hitting the boss as well as the intended adds.
Alter Time can completely negate the forced movement effects by
casting it before they go off and return instantly.
Sticky Webbing's slow can be removed by casting
Ice Barrier with
Energized Barriers talented.
Wrapped in Webs is a stun, and can be
Blinked out of.
For more information, please refer to our Sennarth guide.
Dathea, Ascended
Talents/Build
Single Target build in most situations. Save a Comet Storm for the
add platforms.
Tips
Alter Time and
Blink can both negate knockbacks on this
fight.
Thunderbolt appears to be able to be removed with
Ice Block and
Mirror Image is a great long-duration cooldown
to help when you cannot remove it.
Kurog Grimtotem
Talents/Build
Single Target build.
Tips
Frigid Torrent's stun can be
Blinked.
Absolute Zero can be solo soaked with
Ice Block.
You cannot remove Searing Carnage, although you could use
Ice Block to immune the damage itself and the movement
requirements.
Thunder Strike should be soaked with
Alter Time cast
beforehand for the instant heal-up afterward.
Neither Lightning Crash nor
Enveloping Earth's
debuffs can be removed with
Ice Block.
For more information, please refer to our Kurog Grimtotem guide.
Broodkeeper Diurna
Talents/Build
Build depends on which assignment you have. Sustained AoE if you're on the adds, and Single Target if you're running beams with the boss.
Tips
Mage's superior mobility allows us to deal with
Greatstaff's Wrath effectively.
Alter Time behind an egg,
Blink into the staff and activate it, then Alter Time back behind the
egg while you continue to DPS as the beam catches up to you.
All the stuns in this fight can be Blinked out of.
For more information, please refer to our Broodkeeper Diurna guide.
Raszageth the Storm-Eater
Talents/Build
Single Target build is going to be most beneficial most of this fight. There is no real good build that works for all phases of this fight, so you should probably concentrate on Frost's strengths, which is single target.
Tips
Blink and
Alter Time are invaluable for getting
Static Charge and
Fulminating Charge out of the raid
and back into position quickly.
Volatile Sparks can be dealt with as a Mage in multiple ways.
Counterspell obviously works, as does
Spellsteal to strip
them of
Volatile.
Dragon's Breath and
Blast Wave
both work, as well as being AoE. Blast Wave, in particular, can hit multiple
people's Sparks if positioned closely.
Fulminating Charge's slow can be removed by
Ice Barrier
when talented into
Energized Barriers. This is invaluable for both
getting it out of the raid, and surviving the hit.
Sadly, Frost does not have many strong cooldowns for
Focused Charge, but try and have at least
Ray of Frost for
it, if not
Icy Veins itself.
