Yes, I know you nerfed it. But out of like 20 pulls I have succeeded NONE. There is NO REASON to spec into improved blizzard this way.
EVERY SINGLE TIME there are mobs not getting slowed. And I pull small packs of 3-4 all the time, so go figure out the odds.
Meanwhile, every area has paladins, warriors and shamans aoe farming. You break one class, and then keep/buff it for 3 others.

Mages are best for aoe farming in the game. Prsctice and you will be better
Nothing to do with practice. I have mained mage in all expansions I’ve played and leveled like 10 with AoE.
Also, I can practice all I want and it does not change the fact Improved Blizzard doesn’t properly do the job.

Blizzard spec really needs to be reverted to what it was. We farmed already with improved blizzard since vanilla and it only became an issue because of boosting and people farming solo dungeons with it.
Well boosting is easy fixable by not getting any experience if a higher lvl party member kills grey mobs. I dont know if its already in the game but if not then its very easy to implement.
And farming solo dungeons was also already fixed by teleporting mobs if you are on ledges. Blizzard itself wasnt even enough to farm dungeons solo, people always abused ledges and infinite mana with the resistance talent in the arcane tree.
There is no need to destroy a complete spec and many frost talents for “legit” playing. The whole purpose of frost is control, but right now you cant control anything with blizzard. There is a reason why the OG designers designed the way it was. Now its pretty much useless, failed design when mobs can interrupt you very quickly because blizzard is a channeled spell.
Frost right now is very unfun, doesnt fulfill anymore its class/spec fantasy.

Yeah they literally gutted mage for no reason. Whole point of mage is to control, it’s part of their core design. They don’t have self heal or pets to tank for them like other casters and classes do..
If you wanna blame it on boosting or some other excuse. Just fix that instead of gutting a whole class. Makes zero sense

Low IQ? Because you need slow when you have a paladin tanking?
