Hier steht zwar "das Bewegungstempo des Ziels 8 Sek. lang um 15% zu verringern" aber bei der gelernten Verzauberung und im Debuff steht, daß das Angriffstempo um 15% verringert wird (Nahkampf, Distanz, Zauber).

Kommentar von 154968

Der Debuff wirkt auch auf Raidbossen! (Getestet in Karazhan)

It says "reduce the target's melee, ranged, and casting speed." when you reduce speed you are going slower, not faster.

Kommentar von arco

This might not be a bad enchant for PvP. If for example you put this on two daggers for a mutilate rogue, and the proc rate is as high as fiery was, you'd be putting out a nice chunk of additional damage. Add that to the on-hit effect, and this might be a good anti-caster enchant.

Then again, fiery said it "often" procced in the effect description, whereas this says it "occasionally" procs. So I would assume, if they put those words in on purpose, that the proc rate on this is lower.

Kommentar von 72012

No. You're not reading the text:

and reduce the target's melee, ranged, and casting speed

Notice that it says, "reduce(s)...speed." This means that they cast or attack SLOWER. When you reduce the speed in your car it takes you longer to get between two points, right?

It does NOT say "reduce the target's melee, ranged, and casting time." THAT would be bad.

Kommentar von Tamarzan

Can confirm that it drops in normal. Just got it in normal mode.

Kommentar von Eliminati

This is NOT useless in PvE, lmao. This is a freaking Thunderfury on steroids. If it works on raid bosses, nary a raid will go w/o at least two people with it, preferably some OH melee dps. Thats basically a 15% debuff on the dps of a boss, plus the mechanics of allowing more time between whatever it is nasty that they may do. Amazing chant, cheap mats, totally epic.

Kommentar von 127155

Well Guys, It has been confirmed that, this enchant DOES work on raid bosses and it STACKS with the THUNDERFURY buff(Tried Kara and SSC). Insane enchant for raids, but pvp proc rate( at least on 1.5 speed offhands) is not as high as expected.

Anyway, a good enchant for all players and it's fun.

Kommentar von redandgray

This enchant requires a level 60 or higher item.

Kommentar von 113336

This is not meant to up your personal dps. It is one person lowering their dps for the sake of the raid. A reduction of 15% dmg from any boss for 8 sec every 20 sec is EXCELLENT.

Kommentar von Elmarion

The attack speed reduction of this enchant does not stack with Thunderclap. The two debuffs can be applied at the same time, but this is purely because they aren't actually the same effect, they are merely overlapping. You will see both at the same time because of the reduced casting and ranged speed, but the attack speed reduction is still just 20%.

Kommentar von 165406

There is no hidden cooldown on the proc, tested it and it actualy refreshed itself. However the pvp proc rate is rather low.

Kommentar von 165438

I tested this out with a ret pally buddy over the course of a few duals. Here the results:

60 Melee Swings
19 Spell Attacks
------------------------
79 Attacks Total

Procced 10 times over the course of 79 attacks, roughly ~8% proc rate.

There is no internal cooldown as Deathfrost refreshed on me on 3 occasions.

Did not test for PPM; was stated around 4 in an earlier post.

I'd assume around a 10% proc rate, but here is the hard data.

Kommentar von 54076

It procs off of goblin rocket launcher.

Kommentar von 135665

Deathfrost procs fairly frequently (around 10%) and seems to be affected by spell crit. It also counts as a harmful spell, and procs http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34678.

It drops in Slave Pens, both normal and heroic, during the Midsummer Fire Festival, from a summoned boss.

Kommentar von Folmer

Well i did some short testing yesterday too see if it would replace, or would get replaced by the Thunderfury effect and/or Mind-numbing Poison III...

The result was that all of the debuffs were attached to the mobs, no matter what order they were applied...

http://www.msoee.dk/tf.jpg <--- A simple example of it...

Kommentar von 66090

Im actually kind of convinced this procs off of Consecration and Holy shield procs. Im doing Shattered Halls Heroic as we speak and on certain aoe packs I wound target someone and already have deathfrost on them.. more than one of them. Strange, ill have to test this more to be sure.

Kommentar von 145561

your current post/info is useless.

It's nice to know people on wowhead really care. :)

Kommentar von 147777

Testing this out on my mage

It does proc off Frost Nova but it doesnt gain much from spell dmg or attack power boost and AOE, not sure if it hits all enemy struck by the AOE, but probably not. Not sure if it procs on channelled spell

it seems to remain at about 150-160 frost damage

It does proc off of any damage effect. This includes but not limited to:

-Lightning Incapcitator (it also charges when crit and eats up the charges
-Scryer bonus on all Shattered Sun Necklace
-Darkmoon Deck: Vengence
-Thunderclap

It does not, proc off dot ticks.

Still need to test:

-Thorns

IMHO, this enchant does replace fiery as a decent leveling enchant pass 50.

Not so sure if this affect frost immune mobs (at least the debuff) the damage I am sure frost-immune mobs arent affected by it

Hopefully I can test it out on my boomkin today.

averages out about 1/3 spell cast or 3/5 melee so far (this is tested on a caster and a rogue)

Kommentar von Atraira

IMPORTANT NEWS FOR MANY PEOPLE:

I have now tested it with Thunderfury in a duel, it's just like Thunderclap: the buffs stack, but the effects do not.

Base: 1.8 Attack Speed
Deathfrost: 2.07 Attack Speed
Thunderfury: 2.16 Attack Speed
Thunderfury + Deathfrost: 2.16 Attack Speed

Kommentar von 165752

does this proc off of affliction spells? like when the spell is already on the target?

Kommentar von 68102_

This enchant DOES NOT STACK with Imp TC. However it does overwrite the effects of 2/3 or lower imp TC. Having this enchant is still GREAT for rogues, fury warrs & enh shammys especially for raiding without a warrior or one without the 3/3 imp tc. I have an enh shammy w/ my MH chanted w/ executioner & OH w/ mongoose. On boss fights without that imp tc, thru macro, I simply switch my MH for PVP 1h w/ Deathfrost, wait for a proc & switch my original MH back again.

It's a little tedious for some especially with watching that 8sec proc timer, but it adds to my value bringing more than dps, windfury & bloodlust. Using it is a bonus & I wouldn't recommend sacrificing the leet deeps for it, but when u have a tank with "iffy" survivability it wouldn't hurt having this & giving urself a little xtra responsibility.

Oh & how it sez "occasionaly" on the proc? You'll be pleasantly surprised how "occasionally" it does.

Kommentar von 165220

it's been confirmed already that it doesnt proc off Consecration. Holy shield, I don't know about.

Kommentar von 165220

Good for raiding, bad for raiding, try it yourself if your weapons arent already enchanted. The mats on this are CHEAP so if you can't afford mongoose or executioner, pick this up instead. If you already have dual mongoose, then don't replace that 600g enchant with this... go find a different weapon to slap it on or wait for more conclusive answers.

The droprate on this pattern doesnt seem too fantastic. I heard somewhere that it's a 100% drop off heroic... can anyone confirm or deny this? I've killed him twice on reg and no drop, looks like the guys above me have the same problem.

EDIT: After my 6th kill on reg with no pattern, I managed to wheedle/bribe my group into trying heroic. It dropped, I paid the two enchanters large quantities of money to pass to me, and I got the pattern.

For the curious, heroic is pretty much identical to regular. The one big difference is that the boss himself has much more HP, and while we consistently killed him on the 3rd Core phase in all my reg groups, it took us till the 4th Core phase in the heroic group. This means endurance, endurance, endurance!

Good luck~~

Kommentar von OmegaDeath

I doubt that it has a 100% drop on heroic, I only ran it twice, with my summon and another players, it dropped on the second kill, i was the only enchanter. So i guess i was really lucky :D

Kommentar von 158869

It has a very low proc rate in pvp indeed.
And I wouldn't say it lower your dps that much. Remember it deals 150 frost damage every time...

Kommentar von 164384

While i have yet to test it out in pvp, dual wielding it with my pvp swords doing dailies, I was proccing this constantly just with the little melee I was doing while kiting. Obviously if the proc rate holds anything like in pve, then even for hunters it's at least a *decent* enchant if you're dual wielding (although serious arena hunters that are dual wielding are putting 30 int on for a damn good reason)

Oh and dropped for me on regular, after about 13 runs. Every heroic i've done with him has dropped it (4 runs so far)

Kommentar von 46440

It appears that the intention was to provide a debuff similar to thunder clap for ranged/caster enemies. Since the debuff will sit along side thunder clap, the raid will need to decide if the debuff slot used by deathfrost is worth it. I would think that the 15% slowdown between cast/range attacks would more than make up for the lost debuf slot. Further, improved thunder clap is usually taken by most nontard MT so this along with improved thunder clap is quite useful to the raid as a whole.

tl;dr: Deathfrost appears to be designed to sit right next to Improved Thunder Clap on the debuff table for BOSS's

Kommentar von 113336

Dropped for me on my first Normal try, no other enchanters. =D

Kommentar von BlackWvyern

What interests me most is the fact that people are mainly only considering this spell's effectiveness in a setting where Thunderclap is present, and completely leaving out the fact that this enchant is invaluable to Paladin and Druid tanks who don't have the attack speed reduction. Paladins probably won't take this enchant often, due to sources that are better for threat like Executioner, and Druids will not be able to take the proc in bear form, so it's left to a DPS in the raid to take the spell. I currently have it on my warlock and balance druid, and have noticed that it procs at least once per monster in the encounter, and typically five to six times during boss fights. I don't have any numbers to back it up, but the fact remains that the enchant will greatly increase a Paladin and Druid's tanking effectiveness.

Kommentar von 147777

Okay, my friend tested out on his rogue

the spell does refreshes itself

and it does work on ALL non frost immune bosses

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, now for my testing

I have tested it on moonkin (look up noctune from Lightning's Blade) and it does proc at least once per mob i went against and it does crit based off your spell crit.

Also tested it on mage and last night, a poor rogue died to deathfrost procs off both Frost Nova and Fire Blast..... It does get some spell dmg boost since my mage hits 160+ damage with it but my druid hits for about 150..... could be boosted by talents only.....

This isn't the best enchant in the world but it's a nice enchant to have on a weapon

It's probably best for proc pally, ret pally, enh shammie, rogues without executioner and mongoose.

To answer the affliction lock question: Yes it does proc of curses, but only on the initial cast, not the dot damage. However, it doesn't mean it sucks. If you don't wanna get the spell dmg one or the soulfrost, I will suggest this as an alternative

Need confirmation to see if it procs on channel spells

so far, it has been confirm that it can proc off the SSO necks.

Kommentar von isawakumo

Just as an FYI, this debuff STACKS with both Thunderfury debuffs, making it a doubly good tanking enchant :)

Kommentar von 167469

I enchanted this on a dps warrior (decapitator) before we went to karazhan who said that it added about 1% dmg to his output. He also noticed that it wasn't much of a graphic, or that the decapitator graphic overshadowed it.

Kommentar von 117595

Does this "additional 150 frost damage" stack with frost mage's Arctic Winds / Piercing Ice and does it apply Winter's Chill? If so, this enchant would be so pwn.

Kommentar von Nerobyrne

Well i got this for my mage as soon as i could, because it is so far the ONLY enchant which causes your spells to proc aditional damage. Now mages and warlocks finally have something on their weapons that can hurt people.

Okay, there was spell damage before, but i find that this is better. I guess it's comparable to +atk power VS fiery ench for melee classes, it really matters what your personal preference is. Being an arcane mage, the debuff doesn't really do it for me since i can Slow anyway, but i loved the part about my spells having a 10% chance to do more damage!

PS: Just in case anyone is wondering, this will NOT proc frostbite because
A: It's not a mage spell
B: It slows, but it does not slow movement, and is thus not a chill effect.

Kommentar von Vesanius

Does anyone know if this procc off from mage's Molten Armor as well?
If it does, this might be a really nice enchant for pvp with 0/17/44 spec since every time someone hit you by melee, ranged or spell attack there's a 10 % chance to stun that player for 2 seconds and beside that there would be a chance to increase their attacking/casting speed by 15 % for 8 seconds.

At least Impact's tooltip says "Gives Your fire spells a 2 % chance to stun the target for 2 sec." so Molten Armor damage is counted as your own spell since it can procc impact. And since it's counted as your own offensive spell it should be possible to procc Deathfrost as well.

So has anyone tried it yet?

Kommentar von 168077

i've seen come mentions, but no full out answers, does this, or does this not, drop if you can not use it, but are still an enchanter?

also, if anyone has checked, does it proc off thorns? i saw someone ask about that with no response.

Kommentar von 147874

It really depends on the way you look at it. You are lessenning SPEED. This means you make is SLOWER. The same applies if you lessened SLOWNESS, you would make is faster (is slowness a word?). If you consider speed the amount of time it takes to cast a spell then you would obviously see this enchant as working properly.

Kommentar von 167018

Anyways, for a rogue using IP/DP,
wouldn't D-W these be like 2 more IPs?

how does it compare to exec/mongoose or 20agil/mongoose?

Kommentar von Kapitan

Do you have to be an enchanter to see this drop and roll for it, or does the whole party have a chance at this?

Kommentar von 112723

Hello everyone...
Just had a debate on trade channel about this... I would like to point out:

"...enchant a weapon so your DAMAGING SPELLS and melee weapon hits occasionally..."

everyone says that its useless if you have a warrior or a lock in your group. I could care less cause im a prot pally, so I dont group with many warriors. I tend to group with a ret pally alot (2 blessings, and sanctity aura makes holding threat a dream). Aside from losing the 40 spellpower on my weapon, would this be worth it?

One word.... Consecration (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=27173)

now do you see the angle I am working on here? Im collecting motes, I will post back with the results. Any thoughts?

Kommentar von 37075

Deathfrost will not stack with a Warrior's Thunderclap if anyone is wondering. ^.^

Kommentar von drphillgood

Once I hit lvl 60 and went to outlands I grabbed two Grunts waraxes and put this on them. This helps out with lvling and killing those players that are an annoyance. The mats really aren't bad at all. You can get the shadows out in Hellfire and the water right outside Shat. Happy killing :D

Kommentar von 16951

If TC does not stack with the speed reduction, does that also mean attack speed reduction also does not stack with ice armor debuff?

And do Mage talents synergize with the damage bonus? I doubted Ice Shards, Piercing Ice and Arctic Winds synergize, but will Winter's Chill help it crit more?

And does spell cast speed reduction stack with curse of tongues?

Kommentar von olss0nftw

Is it only applyed from DD or can it proc from debuffing a target to?

Kommentar von 169435

Does this proc off of instant poison?

Kommentar von 149612

I would guess that this enchant will be in a huge demand by leveling Death Knights.

Kommentar von Royi

Its the same as the Icey enchant

with an additional + 150 frost damage.

Kommentar von 48935

I did some short testing today. Going to continue and edit my post.
This is on a protection paladin smacking mobs around in terrokar forest.
DPS is derived from finding the average damage based on character spell crit rate.

Auto Attack:
13 procs from 154 swings.
Proc/Swing: 8.4415584%
Proc/Min: 2.665755297
DPS: 6.846659262

Seal of the Crusader:
13 procs from 163 swings.
Proc/Swing: 7.9754601%
Proc/Min: 3.518585348
DPS: 9.037046644

Seal of Righteousness:
11 procs from 82 swings
Proc/Swing: 13.4146341%
Proc/Min: 4.236200257
DPS: 10.88015083

So, for tanking paladins, stick with 40 spell damage. As, according to Elitist Jerks (1), each point of spell damage equates to approximately 0.5 threat per second, thus creating 20 TPS, whereas Deathfrost w/ Seal of Righteousness generates ~ 10 dps.
Also keep in mind that slower attack speeds on your target result in lower threat generation from Retribution Aura and Holy Shield. Logically a ~15% threat decrease on that target.
Previous testing shows that Deathfrost does not proc off of Consecrate, Holy Shield, or Retribution Aura. though it would appear that Seal of Righteousness can, indeed, proc Deathfrost. Evidence: Proc rate is nearly doubled using Seal of Righteousness.
Another interesting note: Unlike most weapon enchants, the data supports that Deathfrost is a flat proc rate rather than a proc/minute. Shown by the same number of procs using seal of the crusader. Evidence: (SotC: proc/min) divided by (AutoAttack: proc/min) ~= ratio of SotC attack speed to auto attack speed.

Kommentar von Othey

I've also done my own tests with Deathfrost while specced as Retribution and Protection, using a newly dropped Jin'Rohk and a King's Defender (purely for testing of course. I wouldn't recommend it against +40 spell damage except for off-tanking).

While Mongoose is good for my AP level, and Executioner preferred if I had more armor pen, I have come to the conclusion that, for the good of the raid, a Retadin should be using Deathfrost for PvP and PvE. I know this is probably not the most popular opinion, but let me explain what I've seen.

So far, I have not encountered any bosses immune to the effect of Deathfrost (save frost resistant mobs and bosses). While imp thunderclap is better, and it doesn't stack, it IS still applied, and when it's a paladin/druid tank, you are a very welcome addition. Also, I have observed the slowing effects on spells first hand, something that thunderclap cannot help with, and you will not only see a couple tenths of a second added to spells, but when Hex Lord Malacrass channels his spirit bolts, you can HEAR them slow down. The raid was amazed.

In PvP, the advantage is obvious. Paladins are terribly weak against spells, and throwing this enchant around the arena will be effective against most any class.

Couple of facts: Tested with PvP gear on. 1718 AP, 28% chance to crit, unbuffed.

On 100k damage, Deathfrost counted for 2.8% of the damage.

The proc will crit for about 232, but unfortunately (and maybe coincidentally) it appears to be based on spell crit (my sampling was 10%) for an average hit of 160 overall.

It is affected by Imp Sanctity aura, but not Vengeance.

Not sure on the proc rate, but was about 9% from all attacks that could proc it (furthering the flat-proc rate theory). It will proc only on direct damage spells and attacks i.e not consecration or reflective damage.

Just my 2 cents. I hope it helps.

Kommentar von Xiuhtecuhtli

anyone knows if the effect stacks with mind numbling poison?

Kommentar von 172100

Unfortunatly, there is an internal cooldown for most things. Proc rates have a seperate cooldown for all procs. It would be very unwise to double enchant this. I would get mongoose for one of the daggers instead of another deathfrost.

Also, it's been confirmed that this will proc on various end-game bosses. Also, healers who get this will actually have thise proc while healing thier partner. Healers dont get this, you'll do 150 damage to your friend and mess up thier casting times!

Kommentar von 171667

I bought this enchant to test it out on my rogues OH and it was a huge Disapointment. I went Bot Heroic to try it out. after dealing about 950k dmg i relised that deathfrost had dealt only 9k of it. The upside is that that the 15% attack speed reduce works on Bosses in various raids. Should probably save your main tank a punch or two. I hoped this enchant could be a temperarly DPS chant until i could get a second mongoose but it apears that even fiery weapon would have been a better choice for that.
In conclusion i would like to say this enchant sucks, dont get it and goodbye :D

Kommentar von 102859

Got the Scythe of Ahune and enchanted with this. Cleared the last BT bosses with it equiped, got the following:

- Proc can crit, and seems to be based on own spellcrit.
- Procrate is very high (like 25%), but seems to have a 45sec ICD.
- Debuff works on bosses, but as a haste reducing effect, is overrid by more powerful ones (read Thunderclap)
- It stacks with Thunderclap in one way: The spell haste reducing factor in Deathfrost will still affect the target since Thunderclap doesn't affect spell casting.

Kommentar von 174551

This enchant also procs from spell damage, so yes it can still be quite usefull in raids. Really owns in pvp to :p

Kommentar von 106896

Also keep in mind that slower attack speeds on your target result in lower threat generation from Retribution Aura and Holy Shield. Logically a ~15% threat decrease on that target.

there are a few flaws in this reasoning.

First of all not all paladins will use retribution aura (specially on bossfights)
Second, it is not a 15% threat decrease on that target. It is a 15% on the threat from holy shield and retribution aura. If they make up about 20% of your total threat, that would be 3% threat decrease.

It is not a threat enchant, it is a migitation enchant which basically means 15% less dmg (in practice it might be less since instant attacks and dots are not influenced). I can come up with numerous situations where you would want to trade a bit of threat for less dmg taken.

It is a nice an enchant for on a secondary weapon for a protection paladin.

Kommentar von 3465

Since it procs from damaging spells, I'd love to see what it did with a warlock using seed of corruption or a mage spamming arcane explosion to a group of mobs. Think you could get this debuff up on more targets than you could thunderclap? (Mount Hyjal anyone?)

If you have like 10 ghouls - thunderclap is only really going to affect like 4 mobs each time you can get it off. (Sure you'll have a couple warriors but I'm just talking theoretically here)

I wonder if this can proc on a target your not focusing on. If so, there might be a little more power to this thing than people are expecting if it works as I'm thinking it might. Gotta be on the ball looking for things like this, never know when another Green Whelp Armor might pop up in game ;)

Kommentar von 175831

As of this patch, consecrate will proc deathfrost, which makes it something fun to play with while aeing as protection.

Verified by flying up over Shattrath and consecrating ogres up there. It procs within the first few ticks each time. I have not tested how it preforms with multiple mobs inside the area of consecrate.

Kommentar von 112611

Weapon enchants are now visible at the character selection screen.

Kommentar von 196719

This might be a dumb question, but what weapon is that in the screenshot?

Edit: The scythe looking one, I mean.

Kommentar von Mahtamori

While this enchant doesn't proc from ranged weapon auto-attacks or instants in general, I have had it proc off of Serpent Sting. However, it's not tied to the damage type of the sting/shot, since Arcane Shot doesn't proc it.

Edit: None of the shots or stings I've tried procs it other than Serpent Sting. It DOES proc from damage ticks of the same sting, however.

Kommentar von makron

Is this viable for PvP warrior - does it proc on throw? It'd be interesting to slow down healers or other casters - warriors have no ability to do that.

Kommentar von Wren

This seems like it would also be great for a fury warrior, so he doesn't have to switch out of fury stance to put a thunderclap down. Not to mention the procs from whirldwinding and such. On top of that, the mats are relatively cheap compared to other weapon chants.

Now it's become quite useless enchant since it requires lv 60 but doesn't work against lv73 or higher. No use for twinks, no use for high level either.

Kommentar von 127323

I have found that this is an economical and fun leveling enchant. I have it on my Lionheart Executioner (74 ret pally ATM) and it procs almost every fight. I have had it proc off Exorcisms, and all other special and white attacks. I haven't really tried it with consecration since it is a big mana hog while soloing. Considering the mats are almost throwaway, you can get this on whatever weapon you are currently using. This is awesome for caster mobs and fast hitters as well. I haven't really tried it in PVP but I imagine it would be another way to screw with the clothies.

Plus, it looks cool as hell....

Kommentar von 271818

I have a very specific question... I'm trying to make a mage that can hit for really huge pyroblasts on rare occasions. In other words, everything goes into my pyroblast crit damage, and I don't care how often I actually crit. I know this isn't a "good" build.. I'm just having fun. Anyway, enchants/items like this are perfect for my character. I'm just curious if more than one of them can proc at the same time. In other words, could I cast a pyroblast and have Lightweave Embroidery, as well as Deathfrost, Darkmoon Card: Death, and/or similar items/enchants proc off of that one pyroblast, albeit very rarely? Thanks!

Kommentar von 312797

Anyone consider this might be a PvP oriented enchant? It's on spell cast as well, making kiting much easier.

Kommentar von 319099

i would like to see what pvp is like for a shaman dual wielding this ench....

Kommentar von Kaylin

Omg fire festival tonight *giggles* I have been waiting ALL YEAR for this enchant. The frost lord will not escape me so easily this year.

Kommentar von 376467

For those curious, I have a hunter who back when this came out was outfitted in pvp gear. I had my Axe enchanted with Deathfrost (both for looks and because I can)

However I noticed while I was "pew pew"ing away be it at players or Mob bosses or just mobs, Deathfrost would hit my targets.
Sure enough Deathfrost (for hunters as far as my testing goes, Finding an enchanter to do this enchant seems to be rare on my server...) Will proc when you are using ranged weapons and refresh.

I find it happens quite abit. When Raiding I would have deathfrost active on a boss 80-90% of the fight.
Many people would laugh at a hunter with it on his weapon, however I find it's helpful to the raid when a boss is moving/fighting slower.

Also adds a touch bit more dps which I won't object too at all.

With Wrath of the Lich King out now there are alot of great enchants, but I still hold this as a favourite. It looks nice (Think Savagery but white instead of red with Random Snowflakes drifting around it) and I find it to be very helpful.

In response to if a rogue had this on daggers, I would assume it would be proc quite abit and be quite the pain for casters.

Regardless, It's a good enchant and I recommend it to any enchanter to look to pick this up as it's a rare enchant that only comes about once a year.

Kommentar von 320827

Still IMO the best enchant in game. Fiery with spell-slowing bonus = epic versus casting bosses, which is alot of them.

EDIT: Found out it doesnt work against higher level targets. Meh, still ftw.

Proc: Deathfrost.

I hope this enchant will drop this year since I never got it.

Is anything known about Ahune drops this year?

Kommentar von 620513

Just to confirm, now in 3.3.3 (or 3.3.5, dropped yesterday) does this item still only drop on normal mode? And does it come from the daily bag we receive or does it drop off the boss itself? For example, can I run the boss over and over until I get this drop?

Kommentar von 94685

just wondering if this has droped for anyone this year?

edit: Iceh awnsered my ? thanks

Kommentar von HyperEpsilon

If you're a frost mage, the enchantment's proc will apply Winter's Chill. Don't expect to stack it if you're meleeing, though.

For those participating in Midsummer 2010, I can confirm that the formula still drops---just dropped for me.

It is worth mentioning that the formula is contained in the chest, not the satchel, and so you will have to roll against the other enchanters in your group for it if it drops.

Sooo.. I just got this right.. and I was like "WOAH!" I ran to the auction house and bought what I needed and all i have to say is...

Don't enchant your lance....

Last Enchant I need and Still hasn't dropped. !@#$ you Blizz.

Kommentar von Emopriest

Before I chain queuing, can anyone confirm that this still drops from the chest?

Kommentar von 290097

Just wondering if anyone has seen it drop this year (2011). One of the few enchanting patterns I have left in the game before I have all of them.

Kommentar von ulletuss

It will come back in 2011's midsummer fire festival and drops very rarely from Frost Lord Ahune.

Kommentar von 87423_

Got this off my 8th kill today, was a nice bonus considering that I had never seen it before.

Kommentar von 496652

Dropped for me earlier this evening. Also noticed, reading posts from several years ago, that the wording on this has changed from "reduce the target's melee, ranged, and casting speed" to "occasionally inflict additional Frost damage and slow the target."

While not useful at 85, certainly handy for alts coming up through the ranks.

Kommentar von iamagnome

For those trying to get this recipe in 4.x, the recipe is contained in the chest, not the bag you get from the once daily queuing for the instance. So you can farm this all day long to get it, not just once a day during the festival.

Kommentar von Visceron

Does this enchant still drop in 4.3.3 Cata?

Kommentar von Nerkiax

I can confirm that it still drops as of 4.3.3, I looted it and learned that only enchanters can roll on this recipe! Its a nice addition to my enchants :)

Kommentar von dance4life

This enchant is very useful if you're trying to kill Viscidus in AQ40 for his Visciduströpfchen pet.

Kommentar von NightmareMJ

Since no one has commented on it:
Works against 90s, 15% slow, deals 150 damage(affected by the frost mage mastery, WW monk's tiger brew, etc).
Stacks with other slows. Has some interesting play with Holy Nova/Consecration/etc
Fairly high proc rate when AEing, standard random for non AE (aka can chain proc to insane levels of frostration).
Great pvp usages if you have a problem "Stay up" with certain clases as melee, and of course makes it even more annoying to fight a frost mage. Recommended for duelwielders and of course frost mages and frost DKs.
Unknown if this can be applied to hunter weapons.

No testing done on DoTs, so whether it can only proc off initial application or each tick(if the latter its power is rather intentionally extreme).

Slightly better than the average level 90 enchants for pvp, under the elemental froce proc for damage, debatable whether colossus will be better for you, depends on if you have trouble/lag sticking to targets to ensure lots of procs of Colossus.

Affected by pvp power, etc. Not really sure if it is affected by resilience as I did not specifically test for that particular.
Proc is considered to "come from you" as one of your spells rather than static damage like some enchants, similar to the old frostbolt/shadow bolt weapon coatings in function as well.

Kommentar von archvile

I can confirm that it still drops on 5.3.0.

Kommentar von Mormolyce

After three years of trying to get this recipe I finally saw it drop on my enchanter today (a few days ago it dropped while I was on a non-enchanter but that's another story... full of rage and sadness...). I lost the roll to another enchanter. I said "NUUUUUU" and he said "YESSSSS" at the same time.

So I tried to contain my emotions and said "grats, how long have you been after that?", to which he replied "seven years". So I thought... fair enough.

Kommentar von 1046261

As of patch 5.4, all enchantments scale with character level and expansion, all item level requirements have been removed. Because of how incredibly strong this enchant is in PvP, expect this enchant to be expensive.

Kommentar von luvs2play

In case anyone was wondering, I can confirm this enchanting recipe still drops. It dropped today, in our "Frost Lord Ahune" dungeon group. It was in the loot chest, not the bag. (The only place it will drop, I believe.) Hope this helps and good luck!

Kommentar von dsiacono

Let me know if this post is helpful.
Nowhere on wowhead does it say that Formel: Waffe - Todeskälte is dropped or sold or learned. Who the heck cares where it can be placed in? I ended up going to Battle.net's forum page to find out it's dropped by Ahune in The Slave Pens which is an instance of Coilfang Reservoir located in Zangarmarsh. He is only available during the Midsummer Fire Festival. The character wielding Enchantment must have earned a level of at least 350. Also, the drop, out of 9 items, is of a low percentage: only 3%.

This enchant does roughly155 frost damage and reduces melee/ranged attack speed and casting speed by 15% for 8 seconds. It procs on melee attacks, melee abilities, and spells.

Kommentar von MyopicRhino

Maybe I've just been really lucky, but the drop rate for this seems to be much higher than 3%. In 5 runs, I saw it drop 3 times. It was only lootable on my enchanter, and sadly, I lost the roll, but hopefully they upped the drop rate and it'll be possible for people who still need it to finally get it this year.

Kommentar von Kyok

Essential Enchant for soloing Viscidus for melee classes.

Kommentar von Oceandust

Can you still get this from the chest even if you aren't max level?

Kommentar von Spin

I got this formula today, summerfestival 2015. 7.2.5
My level was 110, enchanting 600+ (not maxed). Personal loot, so no rolls. Third run in row on same character.

Kommentar von Doompedal

Since this item is dropped from the chest and not the daily bag, you can run the instance multiple times a day on the same character to farm this.

Kommentar von darkness2k

Received this from the chest, not the bag, 22/06/2020 - EU.

Kommentar von onethirty

This took me 31 attempts to get. If it seems like it's not dropping for you, keep trying.

Kommentar von fkdlzh

can someone confirm if u can farm this more than once a day?

Kommentar von Specoli

Farmed this boss for many summers, never got this... Got it today, first run of this midsummer event from the bag, not the chest. So looking at the comments it appears this item has been changed to drop from the bag as well as the chest in 2022.

Kommentar von Trembelwick

You can farm this multiple times per day on the same character without being locked out. This does NOT come from the once/day bag, instead this comes from the chest that is always dropped after the boss dies.

Happy grinding.

Kommentar von frihedstimen

Can confirm it also drops from the Dungeon reward bag Beutel mit gekühlten Waren

Kommentar von Gorkumin4589

been working on getting all recipes for all professions

this one is the only one I'm missing, to finish TBC for all professions
I'm eagerly waiting for midsummer to get it
I'm so scared to miss it, would be hard to swallow to have to wait another year
I hope it will work the same in 2024 with the formula available from the chest, hence can be farmed multiple times a day
