Frost Mage PvP Guide in Battle for Azeroth (BfA 8.3)

Frost Mages are notorious for always being one of the best PvP specs. Mages not only excel at getting crowd control and relentlessly slowing enemies, but they also have great burst damage. With short burst cooldowns and strong crowd control, Frost Mages are capable of controlling entire teams. One Polymorph can turn an entire game around.

• Great control
• Multiple defensive cooldowns
