Cataclysm [Guide] Frost PvP

[Kemii]

But would you choose that DW Oblit build over the 2h FS build featured in your guide? For BGs I mean. I know you highlight the 2h FS build in your guide because it's by far the most conceptually simplistic, but which would you actually play to be most effective in BGs?

I play UH in arenas and I'm trying to mix it up a little by playing Frost in BGs.

If I was to play a BG you'd want to be going for the AoE and mass slow, therfore either DW or 2h FS.

That's what I figured. HB spam on everyone while focusing down healer with necros and KM-boosted FS crits.

I've been playing 2h FS these past couple of weeks, but I've also been experimenting with dw FS on a dummy with vici weapons (using 2h vici weapon for even comparison) and found that, at least in my own testing, I got basically the same output from both, but with weaker necros, more talent point investment, and less RP gen on the dw spec.

So, 2h FS spec it is.

Go DW, Carry. 2h makes too much sense, it's what the "man" wants you to do. Join the DW uprising!

what profs are good to go

what profs are good to go

I go with Tailoring and Engineering.

I go with Tailoring and Engineering.

Blacksmithing and Engineering actually.

Its better to have the +100 stats from epic gems than the proc from the tailoring.
So that works out to be +100 Strength or Resil, +50 Str/Mastery or +50 Str/Resil.

Being a Human I find that the attack power boost from tailoring, combined with synapse springs from engineering, plus two DPS trinks equals smashey good times.
As Orc I would do the same and trade my freedom trinket for major DPS with their sexy racial. I like the extra snare also. Sacrificing a bit of spell pen but not to bad.
You can go either way, Mayainverse. Let the Frost flow through you.

You do know using your engineering gloves put your trinket on CD for 20s... And your seriously gimping yourself by using two proc trinkets as Frost, you need to be able to control your burst.

PvP Use Trinket + Proc/Medallion are what you should be running, you are squishy to ****, you need the resilience over any Pve trinket you might own, especially when there are no real decent PvE trinkets for Frost anyway.

[Zoug]

I use the PvP DPS trinks. The proc one and burst. Can't remember names, atm. Yeah the 20 sec cd is lame. I have three unorganized burst macros... so I make it work.
We are squishy as hell even with full resilience gear. The cold road Frost travels.

Approximately how much mastery should i have and how much haste? I mean now my dk has almost 2x mastery as haste. Should i change that?

No you want to be getting as much mastery as possible, Don't worry about how much ahste you have generally, since sitting in UH presence is more than enough.

[nexil]

Kemii did the maths and nobody else can tell her. Hate this kind . Nice guide, great effort but frost too squishy to play high rated. You can make it work since you rarely see good ones and most ppl wont know your mechanics too well. To me its just a subspec like a burst blood spec and cant compete with uh even with the bugs (garg etc)

[Raigaard]

is the expertise worknig? i need 15 still?

and about the stats, should i reforge everything to mastery or keep haste unaffected?

[Moltenqka]

nice guide.
