Ice Lance deals [[Frost]] damage, so the bonuses from [[Piercing Ice]], [[Ice Shards]], [[Arctic Winds]] and [[Winter's Chill]] apply to the spell. [[Spell Impact]] also increases the damage of Ice Lance. [[Arctic Reach]] extends the range to 36 yards at max rank. [[Master of Elements]] will refund a percentage of the mana cost of the spell if it critically hits its target. |

| − | ==Tips and tactics== |
||
| − | Ice Lance is a great source of burst DPS in solo, PvP and some group situations. It is useful in any situation where an enemy can be frozen, which makes it less useful on most dungeon bosses. Since the triple damage bonus is applied after all other flat modifiers such as [[spell damage]] effects, the burst damage can get pretty high. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ice Lance is one of the very few offensive mage abilities that can be used while moving, and the fact that it has no [[cooldown]] other than the global cooldown means that it can be [[Spam|spammed]] repeatedly. Interestingly, it is possible to use Ice Lance to make a "fighting retreat" so to speak and use it on foes directly behind the mage's path of movement. The trick is to face perpendicular to the target that you wish to flee from, and side-step out of the way. Thus if you face left with the target to your left, move to your right, and if you face right with the target to your right, move to your left. The actual targeting arc for spells and abilities is one-hundred and eighty degrees in front of a character, so by "torso twisting" in this manner a mage can run away at full speed while still showering the foe with Ice Lance attacks. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Shatter combo === |
||
| − | Summon your minion. From a decent range(~20y), target your enemy and begin casting your [[Frostbolt]]. While Frostbolt is casting, use the minion's Freeze on your enemy, and immediately when Frostbolt is done casting start spamming Ice Lance. Because of the distance and travel time, Frostbolt and Ice Lance should hit at the same time and both crit, leading to burst damage of up to ~5000. |
||
| − | |||
| − | On non-frozen targets, the spell is a useful instant that costs very little mana. Unlike wanding, Ice Lance can be cast while running. In PvP, use it to take down [[shaman]] totems or to interrupt flag captures in battlegrounds. This spell also procs the [[Winter's Chill]] talent, allowing you to stack the debuff early in a boss fight with little [[threat]] and little mana. It will not, however, proc [[Frostbite (mage talent)|Frostbite]] because it does not have a [[chill]]. |

| − | * {{patched|patch=3.0.3|note=[[Molten Fury]]: This talent no longer prevents Ice Lance ranks 2 and 3 from dealing triple damage against frozen targets.}} |
||
| − | * {{patched|patch=3.0.2|note=[[Arcane Impact]] renamed to [[Spell Impact]] and now affects [[Blast Wave]], [[Fire Blast]], [[Cone of Cold]], and '''Ice Lance'''.}} |
