Hello guys,
If there are more people who want to try DW i think that guides don’t give the right info about this.
So, if you wanna try to run Frost Strike focused build their are those options that you will be surprised to see how much strong they are. Those builds also shine with the Rider Hero tree because we want to maximize Frost Strike damage. As guides are saying you need to have Razor Ice on your main hand weapon and FC on the off hand. What guides are failing to tell you is that Breath of Sindragosa and Hyperpyrexia are feeting perfectly to this builds. Much more the The Long Winter and Icy Death Torrent. From game play perspective, you should focus consuming KM and Rime only during BoS, otherwise Frost Strike/FROSTBANE got the priority.
First is the ST build for raid. This build NOT running FROSTBANE and FROSTSCYTHE.
Instead you take Frostreaper and Smothering Offence with Shattering Blade and all the talents that buffing Frost Strike. This build has strong ST sustain damage and strong burst every 1.5 min with BoS.
Here is the build:

For M+ Dungeons you need to swap Frostreaper for Frostscythe and Smothering Offence for Frostbane. I find this game play very fun to play. You want to consume KM with Frostscythe ASAP in AOE so Frostbane will proc almost every GCD due to Glacial Advance from Arctic Assault. You will see that you almost never pressing Glacial Advance which is nice IMO. But unlike what the guides are telling you, i suggest taking BoS. This will make the build much more bursty and will give you strong ST on boss fights.
Here is the build:

Bottom line: Shattering Blade (Frostbane) + BoS doing very well and i think people who love DW Frost Strike focused build should really try it!
Enjoy the season everyone!
