Cold Snap is a talent trained mage spell that resets the cooldowns of all Frost spells. These include [Frost Nova], [Ice Block], [Cone of Cold], [Summon Water Elemental]. It is a virtual requirement for any Frost build. It is most commonly used both as an emergency spell and as a defense type spell, in which case it is used to reset the cooldowns of [Summon Water Elemental] and [Ice Block]. Cold Snap cannot be used while under crowd control effects, such as [Fear], [Freezing Trap], [Sap], [Polymorph], [Blind], [Mind Control]. Cold Snap is particularly useful in arenas, as its cooldown is reset upon exiting. This means it can be used every arena.

Tips

Cold Snap does not get locked out by couterspell interrupts when the Frost school is interrupted. Cold snap will reset the cooldowns as long as the mage is not also silenced. This can be useful in emergencies, where the frost school is locked and the mage needs to Ice Block or use another frost escape. This is, however, a costly use of a long cooldown ability.

Known bugs

Cold Snap sometimes fails to reset cooldowns for all frost spells. This is a very rare, but unintended occurrence.
