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.
Please keep in mind that this page is meant to get players started quickly as an introduction, and does not contain much in the way of detailed explanations, mechanics, competitive options, gearing, simulation comparisons, or nuance. For more in-depth information, including all those optimizations and more, check out the complete Frost Mage Guide pages linked in the navigation on the left-hand side of the page, and if you're leveling up in Shadowlands, you can take a look at our

Best Frost Mage Covenant
The Venthyr are the best Covenant for Frost Mages. The Venthyr's class ability,
Spiegel der Qual
, deals high damage and guarantees three activations of Frost's strongest proc (
Hirnfrost
). In addition its Signature spell,
Schattentor
, is excellent for repositioning.
Make sure you cast Mirrors of Torment on a mob that will live long enough to consume all three stacks (about 20 seconds).
For Mages who want to be able to change specs to Fire and Arcane, the Night Fae are a better choice, with a Covenant ability (
Machtverschiebung
) that is useful for all specs in all situations
except
single-target Frost.

Best Frost Mage Legendaries
For Raid, the best Frost Mage Legendary is
Rutschiges Eis
for Single Target,
Eiskalte Winde
for 2-3, or
Gletscherfragmente
for more.
The choice of legendary here heavily depends on fight design.
Rutschiges Eis
is our best Single Target legendary, especially with a high-rank
Eisiger Antrieb
Conduit.
Kaltfront
,
Erweitertes Potenzial
and
Beherrschung der Disziplinen
have gained value but still fall short.
Due to buffs in 9.0.5,
Eiskalte Winde
is now our best option for cleave fights with two to three targets,
Gletscherfragmente
is a great choice for fights with three or more targets. If you like multi-speccing, consider crafting
Beherrschung der Disziplinen
- it's a strong effect for Frost and it is now best for Fire as well.
For Mythic+, the best Frost Mage Legendary is either
Eiskalte Winde
or
Gletscherfragmente
depending on the average pull size.
Cleave and AoE dominate Mythic+, so we want to pick a legendary favouring that.
Eiskalte Winde
or
Gletscherfragmente
are going to be our go-to options since they both excel with cleave an AoE.
Eiskalte Winde
was already performing well in higher keys or dungeons with lower average pull sizes, but the buff coming in 9.0.5 I think it will become the standard.
Gletscherfragmente
is still very strong where the average pull size is much higher.
Rutschiges Eis
deals great single-target damage, but is terrible outside of that niche, so not worth considering for M+.
Dreieiniger Schutz
buffs
Eisbarriere
to have all the barrier effects and increased absorption. Neat idea but offers no offensive capabilities. This legendary is very strong for PvP.
Gletscherfragmente
for AoE and Mythic+
Eiskalte Winde
for Cleave.
Rutschiges Eis
for pure single target.
Dreieiniger Schutz
for PvP.
If you plan to make both, remember that you don't have to upgrade them at the same rate. I recommend crafting
Eiskalte Winde
first, as it is generally most useful.
Frost Mage Legendaries Guide
Best Frost Mage Talents
This is a well rounded talent build and one of the most commonly-used builds by Frost Mages. The setup can handle almost anything, but you can find a more in-depth look at individual talent swaps and situational recommendations on the

on cooldown.

procs.

Hagel
