Frost Mage PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Dragonflight 10.2)

The stat priority for Frost Mage in PvP is as follows:

1. Intellect;
2. Haste;
3. Versatility;
4. Critical Strike;
5. Mastery.

Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Haste is the best secondary state. This stat will reduce your global cooldown and the cast times of important spells like Polymorph. Versatility increases the damage you deal and reduces the damage you take. This is why you should also be wearing gear with Versatility as well.

In general, Frost Mages want to get trinkets that line up well with Icy Veins. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stat you want to be increasing is Intellect or Haste. You want to increase Intellect because it drastically increases your overall damage output. Haste, meanwhile, allows for quicker casts to maximize damage. For more information about Icy Veins and your rotation in PvP, please refer to our dedicated page.

Below, you will find our current BiS list.

• Neck: Verdant Gladiator's Necklace
• Shoulders: Verdant Gladiator's Silk Mantle

Verdant Gladiator's Medallion is typically 1 of 2 trinkets to have equipped at all times. This allows you to remove any crowd control on yourself. You will normally use this when you are stuck in crowd control and in danger of dying.

Verdant Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Critical Strike and has a 1-minute cooldown that increases your primary stat. This is great to use right before you activate a powerful cooldown. However, this does not pair well with the long cooldown of Icy Veins.

Verdant Gladiator's Emblem increases your maximum health when used. This gives you an additional defensive when you think a team will attack you often.

Verdant Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity increases your Haste and has a chance to proc your primary stat. This is a strong trinket, as the stat will often proc throughout an arena match. As a Frost Mage, typically, you will want to use Insignia for the additional Haste with the Intellect procs.
