Frost Mage PvP Best Arena Compositions (Shadowlands / 9.0.2)
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Frost Mage (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Frost Mage PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
In 2v2 Arena, you do not have many options. It can be quite difficult to kill
a healer in 2v2 by yourself, so you will likely be focusing an enemy DPS. Before
you use your burst rotation, make sure the enemy healer is in crowd control.
Ideally, you will be playing with a healer that can stun. After the stun, cast
Polymorph and use your burst rotation. If you get interrupted while
casting
Polymorph, you can still cast Frost spells. If you do want to
swap to the enemy healer, make sure they do not have a trinket and you have a
stun. Once your cooldowns are used, keep the enemy team slowed by using
Blizzard. It is important to note that Mages have
Spellsteal
and can use it to steal HoTs to heal themselves. This is a great spell versus
Restoration Druids and Discipline Priests that have multiple spells that you can
steal.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Frost Mage + Subtlety Rogue
- Frost Mage + Discipline Priest
- Frost Mage + Restoration Druid
- Frost Mage + Holy Paladin
3v3 Arena
Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. As a Frost Mage you will be
focusing on controlling the enemy team with multiple slows and
Polymorph. Before your team uses burst cooldowns, make sure there is
crowd control on the enemy healer. If you are playing with a Rogue, remember
that
Polymorph shares a diminishing return with
Sap and your
Polymorph will be half duration in the opener.
It is important to note that you are not limited to using
Polymorph on the enemy healer. If an enemy DPS using their burst
cooldowns, you can slow/root and
Polymorph them. This will help your
healer significantly.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- RMD (Frost Mage + Assassination Rogue + Restoration Druid)
- GodComp (Frost Mage + Shadow Priest + Restoration Druid/Holy Paladin)
- Frost Mage + Affliction Warlock + Restoration Druid/Holy Paladin
- WMD (Frost Mage + Arms Warrior + Restoration Druid/Discipline Priest)
