![]() Icecap synergizes really well with the Obliteration Build, providing guaranteed crits while Pillar of Frost is active. There are 4 clear choices here for both builds, Murderous Efficiency, Inexorable Assault, Icecap, and Empower Rune Weapon. There's also some play to be had here for a pure AoE spec with Biting Cold and Chill Streak, but the trade-offs needed to perform well in Single-Target encounters as well are too high. ![]() Frostwhelp's Aid isn't performing very well at the moment leaving Horn of Winter as the better option for obtaining the second charge of Empower Rune Weapon. Enduring Strength is a must-have for better DPS. It's likely going to be possible to have nearly 100% uptime on it so long as you can continue to generate Runic Power.Ĭold Heart provides some nice free extra damage with Chains of Ice and will be really great for cleave fights when Proliferating Chill is selected. Rage of the Frozen Champion is a key proponent to ensuring that the buff stays up.Frigid Executioner is the way to go to increase Obliterate damage.Glacial Advance could see some play in strictly AoE encounters, and as it stands Frostscythe isn't performing very well. Improved Obliterate, Pillar of Frost and Improved Rime are the necessary choices in both builds. Runic Command is an option to take in combination with Glacial Advance for a more AoE focused build. There isn't any room for diversity here between each build. Once we've had time to comb through the parses and leaderboards we'll update this post to contain the Best Meta Talent Builds for both Raids and PvP in their respective sections. Will of the Necropolis is better for damage mitigation and gives access to Rune Mastery > Abomination Limb.Īs it is still early in the development of the expansion, there isn't a lot of data available from boss encounter logs to really provide the meta build. Insidious Chill to apply the melee speed reduction debuff and is the better DPS option vs Blood Draw to get to Icy Talons. Wraith Walk while not a direct dps improvement is the most direct path to get Unholy Bond as we are restricted by some necessary previous selections. Runic Attenuation, another obvious damage booster for more Runic Power generation. Unholy Endurance for additional damage mitigation. Death's Reach to help grab an add outside the reach of the tank. Utility Variation - choice between: Asphyxiate for a 5 second stun.Assimilation will be helpful in generating more Runic Power. Gloom Ward would be the standard selection for more damage mitigation, however, Proliferating Chill will be mandatory on cleave fights thanks to Cold Heart in the Frost Talent Tree. Might of Thassarian, taken for obvious reasons (increased strength). ![]() Anti-Magic Zone, a defensive skill, and the only option, but will be used to generate Runic Power via the talent below it, Assimilation. Merciless Strikes increases Crit and is the better DPS option over Acclimation. And Brittle is a mandatory straight-up damage booster. Veteran of the Third War is only chosen for talents below. Icebound Fortitude is the only option on the left and it provides a good damage mitigation cooldown, it is also the only way to access a number of necessary talents further down. Utility Variations: Coldthirst or Blinding Sleet might also see some play outside of PvP to help with interrupts and add management, respectively.Īnti-Magic Barrier and Enfeeble are the only options in this row as the other options don't directly improve damage.Permafrost is generally going to be the standard choice in PvE to help mitigate damage. ![]() Cleaving Strikes makes Obliterate a cleave ability when standing in Death and Decay. Anti-Magic Shell provides magic damage mitigation and generates Runic Power. Raise Dead provides a ghoul for 1 minute and is the only way to access Brittle and Might of Thassarian further down. Death Strike, while it is generally not used for DPS it is taken simply to access talents in the next rows.
