Frost dungeon damage with control

  • Keep the chill slow on the target the group is killing, not on the stragglers
  • Frost Nova is the group control button; spend it when the tank is being chased

Frost is the dungeon recommendation

Frost Warding 2, Improved Frostbolt 5 and Ice Shards 4. The build opens on the Warding ranks so the early pulls cost less attention, then fills the entry damage node and the frozen-target payoff. At the current Level 20 Beta cap a Mage has 11 talent points. Every allocation on this page spends all 11.

Utility and control first

A dungeon group wants the Mage to keep a target where it can be hit and to stop the pull that is running at the healer. Frost supplies both: the chill slow on the kill target, and Frost Nova as the group control button. The area route is the alternative when the group is pulling packs rather than singletons.

Class utility that stays an assumption

Polymorph, conjured food and conjured water are class utility claims. This branch has no published Mage spellbook record, so they are planning assumptions here, not client-verified talents, and no rank for them appears in the allocation or the spend order.

Why no fire alternative is listed

Fire is often offered as a dungeon alternative, but no legal fire allocation exists at this cap, so this page does not present one. Fire nodes remain visible in the talent catalogue with the conflict stated.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the dungeon build start with Frost Warding?

It is an entry-row node, so it can be spent immediately, and it covers the early pulls while the damage nodes are still being filled.

Is there a fire dungeon alternative?

Not at this cap. No fire allocation is legal, so only the Frost route is presented.
