Hey! Almost 60 on my mage but a bit confused on icicles, i normaly just use ice Lance after brain freeze (flurry proc) or when I get fingers of frost proc. But if I sit on 5 icicles should I let it fly or wait for a proc? Playing the splitting ice talent if it makes any differance. Cheers
Nope. Any icicles over 5 fire off individually anyway.
Winter’s Chill stacks do not get consumed by icicles (or Blizzard, or F.Orb, or Ray, probably because all of those are considered DoTs).
BUT, all of them DO benefit from Winter’s Chill.
I.e. it’s probaly worth waiting for Brain Freeze if you can manage, so that Icicles get crit bonus from Shatter.
If you can manage to wait, at least (i.e. you are not full on FoF procs)
Nope only do ice lance with a proc, if you have 5 icicles and you get another the oldest is automathicly launched at the enemy
Don’t do this, you’d be losing FoF procs to brain freeze shatter. Icicles shouldn’t be doing much dmg anyway, they scale with mastery which is not a secondary you should be aiming for.
No.
The best way to deal the icicles - just forget that they exist, consider them as a passive +X% damage to frost bolt.
Unless, of cause, you play with Glacial Spike.
