In last week's PTR build, there were changes for the
Frost Mage's tier set bonus
! In this article, Preheat gives his thoughts and opinions on the recent changes.
Frost Mage Tier Set Tuning for Build 41359
(2-set) While Icy Veins is active Your spells have a 25% chance to call down a Comet Storm on your target enemy. This effect cannot occur more than once every 3020 sec.
Preheat
, our Frost Mage guide writer, has given their thoughts on the above changes!
In the latest pass of updates in 9.2 Frost Mages have had their Frost tier updated:
2p:
Tormenta de Escarcha
Your spells have a 25% chance to call down a
Lluvia de cometas
on your target enemy. This effect cannot occur more than once every 20 sec.
On paper, the two main takeaways on this update to the tier set are that the bonus is no longer tied to
Venas heladas
and also the internal cooldown is now 20 seconds which means roughly 3 procs per minute instead of 2. This is a fantastic change, but it's not all. The interaction between
Escalofrío invernal
and
Lluvia de cometas
was also fixed so
Lluvia de cometas
is affected by
Escalofrío invernal
while
not consuming it
.
This changes the ideal playstyle a bit:
If Comet Storm is talented, you will want to hold your castable
Lluvia de cometas
until
Escalofrío invernal
is active
If there is one charge of
Escalofrío invernal
remaining on the target and your 2p tier (
Tormenta de Escarcha
) is triggered, cast a
Descarga de Escarcha
if it would result in additional Comet Storm projectiles benefitting from Shatter.
This is still early on, but the
Mage theorycrafting community over at Altered Time
has worked out that doing both results 2.29% dps gain.
Dorovon
of BDGG has provided us with this screenshot.
The only outstanding issue with this bonus is that
Lluvia de cometas
will sometimes miss a moving target. This means the damage of
Lluvia de cometas
and the damage increase from
Tormenta de Escarcha
both miss. Since this triggers roughly every 20 seconds, you may gain less damage from this tier bonus on fights where the boss is frequently moved.
Aside for missing due to boss movement, this means all of the issues we discussed in the first batch of feedback have been resolved. Additionally, with
Lluvia de cometas
now working for this bonus and with it's new interaction with
Escalofrío invernal
, there are gains to be had in playing around your
Escalofrío invernal
applications which makes the rotation more engaging and interactive. This change also boosts
Lluvia de cometas
as a talent, giving us more variety. I couldn't be happier about how quickly the issues with this tier set were fixed.
In 9.2 Frost Mages get
Lluvia de cometas
centric bonuses:
2 p:
Tormenta de Escarcha
While Icy Veins is active your spells have a 25% chance to call down a Comet Storm on your target enemy. This effect cannot occur more than once every 30 sec.
4 p:
Tormenta de Escarcha
Enemies hit by Comet Storm take 2% increased damage from your Frost Spells, up to 10% for 8 sec.
Although this set bonus might seem good at a glance, the current implementation of
Lluvia de cometas
will cause issues for it, due to
Lluvia de cometas
consuming
Escalofrío invernal
stacks on the target. Assuming that nothing is changed, this bonus will only account for roughly a 5% damage increase for the 2 and 4 sets combined. This is also assuming you have a superhuman reaction-time to seeing
Lluvia de cometas
to avoid munching (losing stacks of the debuff without getting their benefit)
Lanza de hielo
s while the
Escalofrío invernal
debuff is active during a proc.
Assuming that this oversight is fixed and
Escalofrío invernal
is no longer consumed by
Lluvia de cometas
, we can expect around an
8-9% gain
in single target.
This is assuming
Lluvia de cometas
still benefits from
Escalofrío invernal
without consuming it.
Even so, this is still low but much closer to what I would expect from a tier bonus. In 5 target AoE this jumps up to around a
13% increase
, further reinforcing Frost's role as an AoE specialist. That being said, I really don't think that tying this bonus to
Venas heladas
uptime is a good idea since it further reinforces Frost's weaknesses with forced downtime in fights or other disruptions like having to stop damage. The effect is weak enough to stand on its own. This is a good time to point out that changing
Lluvia de cometas
to no longer munch
Escalofrío invernal
would result in more talent variety in the 45 row, as it would overtake
Hielo fragmentado
in single target, even without this set bonus.
Overall, this set bonus is high risk, low reward. It is poorly tuned, disrupts normal gameplay due to it consuming
Escalofrío invernal
procs, and gets much worse with poor
Venas heladas
uptime due to forced downtime in fights. Tying it to
Venas heladas
makes little sense and I hope it is reevaluated along with
Lluvia de cometas
Escalofrío invernal
interactions.
