Tips
- Combat parses after the 1.11 patch have shown that Frostbrand appears to be a proc-per-minute buff. In other words, slower weapons have a higher proc rate, so that the number of procs will be fairly consistent over time, regardless of weapon speed. The proc rate appears to be normalized to roughly 9 procs per minute. You can determine your proc rate with a weapon by dividing 60 by your weapon speed to determine your number of swings per minute. Then you divide 9 by this number, multiply by 100 ( to change the number from 0.xx to xx% ) and the resulting number is the approximate percentage chance to proc Frostbrand on a given swing.
- Frostbrand weapon receives 10% of your spell damage equipment. For example, if you have 200 spell damage on your equipment, each Frostbrand proc will deal 20 additional damage.
