Frost Mage Guides
DPS builds for WoW Forever. Try variations in the Mage talent calculator.
Frost is one of the three Mage talent trees, and guide authors play it as DPS. In Classic the Frost tree was the control tree, built around slows, freezes and survivability, and was a common choice for leveling. In the WoW Forever talent data its deepest talent is Ice Barrier, and 14 of its 19 talents are marked new or changed from Classic 1.12.
This page lists 8 published Frost Mage guides (1 PvE endgame, 1 PvP endgame, 3 solo leveling, 1 dungeon leveling and 2 group leveling), newest or top rated first. Plan the build in the Mage talent calculator, put it next to other specs with talent compare, or follow the Mage leveling guides. The dungeon level chart shows which dungeons open at each level, up to the level 55–60 dungeons at the top of the chart.
