Frost Mage

Ice Lance damage increased by 20%.
- Developers' note: Ice Lance damage has not kept up with Mastery: Icicles scaling, making builds that ignore Ice Lance possible. The intent of this change is to give Frost Mages a better incentive to use Ice Lance in their rotation.

Glacial Spike (Talent) is no longer enabled without the required number of icicles after using an instant-cast Flurry.
Frost Nova once again overrides their Water Elemental's Freeze root even if the Frost Nova root would last longer.
