Mad respect to Xar for double checking he's the best before making the guide just in case anyone wanted to question his authority on the topic.

Dude doesn’t know how to play wow at all. Pika boo is better at frost mage and should be making a guide not this dude
Absolute masterclass. Best tutorial I've ever seen for anything hands down. Thank you for taking the time to do this Xar, I returned to frost mage last night after like a year off wow and was pretty overwhelmed when I logged in but now I couldn't be more excited to play again tonight!
This guide is so valuable. A real masterpiece
was just looking for this vid yesterday, thanks so much for making such a great guide for us!
Dude I have no intention of playing Mage nor PvP, but wow this video was insanely well formatted and informative. I feel like I learned so much about playing in general especially when you explained the approach in the "How to play" section. I wish you had Discipline Priest for M+ and Raid guides lol
Thank you for taking the time to explain frost mage game play. Helps me out a lot!
Thanks for this guide, I was focusing a bit more on FB/Glacial than I realized. Polymorph tips were also great. Thanks Xar!
you have no idea how i needed this guide ! big love Xaryu thank you
I don't even play mage but respect to Xaryu for putting out such a detailed guide. Love the content
I remember watching you back in MoP. Rolled a mage because of you! Just came back to WoW and got hit by a 220k glacial and then made another mage lol. Looked for a guide and wondered if you would bother with a guide, and it turns out you made one of the easiest to understand most well executed guides out there. I was doing just about every SINGLE thing wrong. Can't wait to put this stuff into practice
So valuable. You're the GOAT, man!
Dude I've been playing rogue for so long and I'm switching things up to play mage. This has to be the best guide I've ever seen. Xar, you're insane bro, much love.
To so much, I was looking for this type of guide!
Thank you very much for all the explanation about frost mage, I played wow for over 10 years and I'm returning now, I tried to create another class but I still like frost mage. I came here looking for knowledge and found great value in this video. I'm from Brazil and I'm using the google translator, I don't know how to speak English and I watched the whole video with subtitles to understand. Thanks so much xaryu for making wow pvp simple, thanks so much!!!
The gameplay example is so much better then other guides.

Yeah, whenever I see a guide I want to see gamplay as well. Really makes a big difference.
I just wanted to thank you, I'm moving from fire mage to frost mage and your explanation was amazing. Even with my bad english (I'm not a native speaker) but I understood everything you said... so THANK YOU.♥
Thx for the guide pal, I learned a lot! Greetings from Chile. =)
Thanks Xar, I haven't played WoW since WOTLK/Pandaria and then some classic 3+ years ago and this guide helps a bunch :)
Great guide! Would love a positioning tips video on the different maps! Having a hard time on blades edge especially

Ayyyyy Been waiting for this for so long
The best guide on Frost Mage. Xaryu’s done it again.
The most important first step to climbing-be willing to wait 45 mins for a queue pop
Thanks xaryu!!! i asked about the 1400 spot. clutch video!
I gotta say, xar is very impressive.. not only because he is the best mage out there, but HOW can this dude play this zoomed in.. hes insane xD
Great video!
The best , el mejor haciendo guias de Magos
Excellent guide video! I will mention that in 10.2 the Mage talent tree has some changes done to it so I wonder if the game play works the same way?
hey xar, just wanted to let you know that if you dont have it bound to anything else you can ctrl + s to enable/disable sound :)
that tooltip thing you metnioned around @13:10 would be great... lost ark has the feature of holding ALT over a talent and seeing the PvP scaling they should do that with the talents in wow !
36:06 I highly recommend taking a screen shot of this and practicing it, I have and it's been incredible.
Think aeghis put out a video today being #1 fyi love seeing you both fight for it. Going to be exciting seeing who gets it this season. Gl to you both
I’m an enhance main and this guide still reeled me in. Mage looks fun.

as ele, i can say it too, mage has a lot of def cd-s not like shaman sadly
Nice video ty bro
Watched this video pushed 150 rating for my 2100 achievement! Thanks bro!!
Very interesting and instructional guide! I wish you would have gone over the team compositions a bit more in detail though. I understand Mage/Rogue could be good. But the 'why' is what I don't understand as someone new to Arena and PvP. What makes an assassination rogue better than a Frost DK? What advantages are there to the Arms warrior over the Rogue? I know that might be a different topic and this already is a long video... but it's still something that could be useful to go over for newer players as well. Help them figure out what to look for in a team comp and how to build teams themselves. Also, and once again this is probably a different video topic, but how do you decide which targets to focus in the sections at the end? Why focus the feral druid over the demo warlock? How do you choose which targets to 'Go' on so to speak? I get you want to throw out as many spells as you can, but how do you choose which targets to hit while trying to stay out of combat? Does it just end up always being the melee if they're chasing you? Or do you ever try and help out your teammate on a different kill target? Many thanks for the instructional video though! Definitely learned a few tricks and things to think about when entering the world of Frost Mage in Arenas and PvP! Hope to use some of this knowledge going into Season 2 of Dragonflight!
Hey Xar, would you be open to making a guide on how to climb and improve in general for all classes in solo shuffle? :)
very good guide
Back at it
Techymayne here, I really appreciate these detailed vids Xar, you the best and a beast. Can you do an updated version of this for fire mage? My heart will always be with fire and 1 shotting
was funny that he learned from his own mistake, by making the guides. Eventually we need to realise that even the best mage in the game makes mistakes and some are his own and some are forced by his foes. But the guide is mainly ment so you have a guidance on how to do damage and staying alive. Good vid man, u are a rolemodel to alot people.
Xar staring into your soul in the intro
Yo xar, thanks for the video. A lot of helpful stuff, especially the „no poly“ policy 😅 How do you deal with 2 melees sitting you 24/7? Warr/DH for example. I feel like I can’t get away from them even if u use every movement possible/blast wave etc. Thanks in advance :)

If your getting trained like a drunk girl at a frat party and your teammates are brain dead and can’t give any assist. Your kinda screwed. You either need to reevaluate your positioning prior to getting trained. Drop orb/rof on yourself and trade damage then follow up with a block so they can leave or stand and take allot of damage. You can even go the extra mile and drop shimmer and get the ice block that heals 80% max hp
Can someone tell me? Are we really only casting flurry when we don't have any fingers of frost, and we want to send an ice lance? Seems like not a huge priority?
Ty this was toptier. Can you make a new one for new patch that just came out?
Merci 👍🏽
I feel that taking Frostbite is risky in that it puts roots on DR (and even immune), which diminishes the value of frost nova and potentially also kills the Glacial Spike -> Ice Nova combo effectiveness. I moved that point to Snowstorm and while I can't say how much Snowstorm is helping me, I had a really good day yesterday in arenas and BGs after making the change.
What’s your favorite spec of all the mage specs? Love ur videos bro 👏🏻
Can you say what are the priority targets to kill in solo? Which classes/specs are the easiest for frost mages to kill?
Hell yeah!!!
Thumbnail looks like a school photo for the winner of the science fair
@Xaryu You said you could use flurry instead of Ice Nova but you don't get the subzero effect? I thought flurry treated targets as if they were frozen by applying winter's chill?
does anyone know why my ice lance isn't cleaving? xar always has mutiple lances being sent out but my mage just doesn't do that... whats up?
A truly good frost mage is absolutely fucking terrifying, doubly so when I'm trying to climb as arms lol
Hey Xar, has 10.2 changed much of this playstyle or is it generally the same still? Thanks!
Easily the best WoW content creator. Keep killing those dailies 💪🏼
What about flurry, when does thst go in the rotation ?
Xar is the goat
Xaryu is the best chatbot AI
Hello thank's a lot for this guide. Question never use frostbolt (I'm Begginer) but i saw frostbolt macro i ts frostbolt or flurry ?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Are we getting one of this caliber for the alta too?
What is the addon for the cd's on blizzard and icy veins etc? Above the spells
Could you show some low cr footage of you playing frost mage, where your team maybe doesnt do what they should or your healer doesnt trade cds as you would expect?
Hey Xar, I have the problem, that my glacial spike not always crit even with Flurry and/or Ice Nova right after Is this normal?
Miss this guy.. but he'll be back 2 months after official launch
lemme level up my mage real quick
Are you still playing this build? Or are you running a build similar to Aeghis now? (Not sure if this video came out in 10.0.7)
Anyone got any suggestions for a fresh Mage new to arenas/solo shuffle? I'm in the 411 honor pvp stuff and everybody just laser focuses me every game and insta-die. Feels like I can't climb.
youre the best
BEST guide ever! Play 12+ classes, and haven't seen 1 guide as clear as this one. Only error I have found in the guide is... Gnome is clearly the best racial because of their Brilliance racial... Casting SMILE causes a blinding light from your beauty to lock out spells for 5 sec. Note doesn't work on DHs.
Ty for the video!!! Could you paste your latest import code for best frost mage build for solo shuffle?
Does all this hold up after 5 months or have there been too many changes?
Pika defenetly taking notes after that 😂

Congrats on rank 1 bro u got sone mad skills
Lol, my entire playstyle was trying to get a lucky sheep and a glacial. Probably that's why I almost smashed my monitor.
How's he casting Frozen Orb with the green circle instead of having it fly forward?
Finally!!
where to take that gear??? its super easy for you but i cant find :(
as someone who quit retail after legion, that talent tree looks like high end math to me
U make me wanna try to make a mage for the first time but it takes so long to lvlup a new char, lol Great video btw!

sure time is relative but leveling now is the fastest it has ever been. You can level from 0 - 60 in a day or two without using any item to increase exp gain, and 60 - 70 in a day or two as well.
First of all: great guide & thank you. But: Wait what? I don't think polymorph removes debuffs. So, I tested it with a mob that I first trapped in an Embersilk Net (I still use them in battlegrounds) that leaves a 3 second DoT on the target and the DoT breaks the poly immediately. I'll definitely rethink my use of poly if you're right and I'm wrong. I don't think you ever mention ring of frost? Is it just too obvious and avoidable? Blast wave into RoF can be fun though. I quit WoW mid-Legion and only recently came back, so a lot has changed. Tons of new classes and everyone has new tricks up their sleeves. I could really use a video on the top most dangerous abilities of other classes that frost mages should be aware of. Stuff like Mindgames and what to do if it lands on you (do some spellsteal?). I wish it changed Poly to actually do damage, but I bet it doesn't work that way. :) I like Wafting Devotion on my weapon, but I'm more interested in battlegrounds and (still) suck in arenas (but I have played some shuffle and your guide will help). It gives quite a bit of haste and the run speed is nice too.
I love these videos man but I just wanna know how do you climb when you get in groups with people that do nothing but go the wrong target all game and break every cc I throw out. its been super frustrating trying too climb, feel like I'm being held back by other players. is there any way that you have found to deal with this or have you not been so unlucky in your matchmaking?
@glndopangamer

Going on the same target is way more valuable than just splitting, even if your teammates made a game plan and are not following it. So in that case you should be the one to adapt to the situation and swap targets. The matchmaking system for solo shuffle is weird but fair in a sense, cause if you can make up for your team's mistakes you should be in a higher rating and will be rewarded for that. I know it's impossible to carry every game, and that's why even the pros get frustrated under 2400 rating.

Don't throw out CC, just live and do damage like I talk about in the guide

Hey, my question is that i see that ice lance do more damage against frozen targets, so which spell does actually freeze the targets aside from frostbolt?
@Alexiully
Жыл бұрын
Winterchill debuff from flurry makes your spells behave as if the target was frozen ( 2 times per flurry ) fingers of frost treat your ice lances as if the target is frozen. Ice nova, ring of frost, frost nova, cone of cold ( if talented ), frostbite which gives you 15% chance on all frost spells to root the target, glacial spike and snowdrift. On top of it all there is another modifier that buffs the damage if the target is both frozen and rooted.
Do you use the same build for 2s?
Bro, I look at the screen, and all I see is like 500 different things. Lol Ima keep being a leveling andy. I have like 30 toons all over 30... and another 10 around 60 to 70. Aint no way Im going to learn all of this. Super freaking cool you can glance at all of that and understand what the heck is going on.
Feral kick has a little dash but leap doesnt kick
I'm curious, why is polymorph not on your bars?
Have you ever put out any RBG content?
baller
is there an update to this?
Hey Xaryu guys here
Yeah but how do you get past the mind cripplingly long queue times
Soon time to rename to XarLancealot. Seriously a great guide tho!
let's go
Does this still apply in 10.2.7??
Ever since they changed flurry to just improve your next 2 icelances instead of it being just 0.5 seconds of being "frozen", there is no longer a reason to cast frostbolt right before your flurry at max range right. No more projectile travel time calculations needed.
i dont even play mage, im here just to comment and press like, 58 minutes guide? wow lucky mages. keep it up.
Still works for 10.1 ?
Sorry r2 now, can't trust the guide 😄. Awesome guide Xar. Thanks for the info.
finally :D
