Frost Mage PvP Guide (Dragonflight 10.0.7)

Frost Mages are typically one of the strongest caster specs in PvP. 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. With the recent talent changes to Mages, the specialization has much more control and utility then in previous expansions.

Frost Mage has seen a very small change to a few spells in this patch, including Glacial Spike, and Frostbolt. As of current, Frostbolt is not often used and is quite weak to cast, however this large increase to the damage might opt for a Frostbolt build to be stronger in the future. Glacial Spike will likely still be used, just with slightly tuned damage.
