Icy Veins however, makes you faster and more efficient. It's a hell of a talent, and any Frost Mage PvP Guru would never skip it.Shatter is the key talent in this Tier. It gives your frost spells a 50% better chance to critically strike against a target if they're frozen. This is an insanely high chance to critically strike, and since you now have 100% more crit damage from the above talents, you're going to do massive damage when they're frozen. Frostbite helps with this too. That's the talent we took that gives our frost spells a 15% chance to freeze the target. You can see how all of these spells play well off of each other. Arctic Reach is the other talent we'll be taking in this tree. Never underestimate the advantage of simply being able to stand further away from your target. If you're in a battle with another Mage, Warlock, Hunter etc without some sort of range enhancing talent, this can flat out win you the battle. Keep that in mind! Standing further away can win battles by itself! Cold Snap gets rid of all of your mage cooldown. This doesn't make you do more damage, but it's a great utility spell. Many Frost mages can pull off some crazy maneuvers with this talent, just because it doubles your crowd control abilities during an encounter. Improved Cone of Cold is another great talent in this tree. It massively improves the spell, making it incredibly efficient.Arcane is more powerful than ever in wow gold these days.
