Welcome to our Frost Mage starter guide, which covers everything you need to start playing a new character in Shadowlands. While our other guide pages go into more individual detail, this simple starter guide covers all the basics in one place, whether you're a new Frost Mage, a returning player to Shadowlands, hardcore, or casual alike, it's the best place to get a beginners overview on the class. Included are basic talent builds, simplified rotations, stats, legendary recommendations, and more to get you started as quickly as possible.

Best Covenants for Frost Mages
Covenant swaps are now available. This is huge for Mages who have three good specs with three different covenants. This also allows for niche builds like Necrolord Frost for heavy AoE in Mythic+. The ability to swap Fire or Arcane with the preferred covenant is also a huge bonus.
As a quick recap, we've created the table below to highlight the notable differences between Covenants. Don't hesitate to click the headers to go to their respective guides!
Aside from
Erdende Woge
for Mythic+, all the Finesse and Endurance Conduits are interchangeable, depending on the fight/type of content you're doing. The below choices simply reflect the best all-round choices.

Covenant Choice Changes with Patch 9.2 for Frost Mage
Necrolord is our best option for raid due to tier gear and legendaries. Venthyr can be situationally useful in raid. Night Fae and Necrolord are both good for Mythic+,
Best Frost Mage Covenants for Raiding
Necrolord is best generally, Venthyr is useful if there is a lot of movement and
Todesgeboren
timings are bad for a fight.
The best Covenants for Frost Mage in Raid are Necrolord generally and Venthyr in some niche cases.
Best Frost Mage Covenants for Mythic+
In Mythic+ Frost Mages are recommended to be Night Fae.
The best Covenant for Frost Mage in Mythic+ is Night Fae in Patch 9.2. Necrolord is also strong, but
Todesgeboren
has a long cooldown.

Best Frost Mage Legendaries
Best Frost Mage Legendaries
Generally the best Frost Mage Legendary is
Rutschiges Eis
. Frost Mage is very strong in AoE and will likely be the preferred spec for Mythic+. The
Froststurm
and
Froststurm
set bonuses are strong, especially in AoE, but ultimately don't affect our choices here.
Eiskalte Winde
can be used if not playing Necrolord.

Best Double Legendaries for Frost Mage
Eternity's End allows players to wear two legendary items, instead of one, with a restriction. One of the two legendaries must be your covenant legendary, making covenant choice now also impacted directly by the strength of Covenant Legendaries. Double Legendaries become available during week 5, after completing its story chapter.
