Frost PvP wishlist

Lonely winter as a buff that gradually increases when pet is absent, maybe replace it with a pet talent that summons a greater water elemental on a CD that does a more damage

Increase damage of ice nova

Increase damage of comet storm

Make ebonbolt baseline, replace it with a talent that lets you have 3 fingers of frost charges, and/or lets you fire them all in one global.

This way, you have a choice between more sustain from procs with frozen touch, a sustained burst from chain reaction, or a very quick, decisive, but smaller burst with the more lances in a short amount of time.

Make frigid winds or ice ward baseline, add a talent that replaces ring of frost, that is a single target instant hard CC, either deep freeze, or an incapacitate that encases a target in ice, similar to hunter trap, giving the mage a choice between powerful cross cc with ring, or shorter, quicker cc with an instant cast.

Make ray of frost have a shorter CD, like 30-45 seconds. Compare it to lightning lasso, 1.3 min is insanely long when it doesn’t even have the stun component and is easily countered.

Generally, the spec should be able to choose between a powerful, sustained frostbolt build, or a means of building up a frontloaded burst to take advantage of kill windows, which it can’t reliably do right now. Generally the control is fine, it just needs a short, quick, instant hard CC. Where fire has DB, frost needs a quick single target one for peeling, cross cc etc. These sort of changes would also add quality of life to PvE, and keep the proc management and shatter playstyle largely unchanged.

Frost absolutely needs Deep Freeze back (1 minute CD 5 sec Stun), Icy Veins redesinged, Water Elemental baseline CD, Glacial Spike baseline, Intense Cold or similar mechanic from Nexus last boss etc. Spec is clunky and does not feel threatening at all. Frostbolt cast is either wet fart or diarrhea.

the atrocious damage profile wont change unless blizzard decides they no longer want to homogenize specs for pve viability

one thing that absolutely needs to change is slows though… how does it make sense that iconic frost mage slows are outclassed by sacrolash, chains of ice, soothing voice etc.? feel free to gut triune ward or other defensives to compensate, but i want to kite again as opposed to tanking melees with borrowed power. current iteration doesn’t even feel like a mage anymore

Frostbolt should be main dps in raids like for years, today is a joke… Or better just like you say, wet fart… In PvP there is no time to cast frostbolts because Blizz ruin the game making game faster and faster, so all long cast become useless in PvP.
