Revision as of 07:28, 10 February 2011

Fingers of Frost is a Mage talent in the Frost tree. It causes spells with chill effects such as [Frostbolt] and [Cone of Cold] to occasionally grant the Mage a buff that makes their two next [Ice Lance] or [Deep Freeze] treat the target as if it were Frozen, but not really freezing it.

For example, if the mage has the buff and casts an [Ice Lance], it receives the Frozen bonus and does triple its normal damage.

Being a self-buff and not an actual freeze, this effect works on enemies that are otherwise immune to freezing effects (for instance, raid bosses).

Uses

This talent shines when used in conjunction with [Shatter], causing the spells to be cast under its influence to have a high chance to critically strike. Taking it improves a Frost Mage's mobility by making him able to cast high-damage Ice Lances on the run.
This talent shares a proc roll with Frostbite (mage talent), so both talents will always proc at the same time when maxed out. This, while redundant, does still give you the opportunity to root your opponent, run away and cast the Lance within 15 seconds if it seems better to do so, instead of having to break Frostbite.
This couples perfectly with [Ice Shards], since the snare component is refreshed every time that Blizzard ticks.

Patch changes

Patch 4.0.6 (2011-02-08): Can no longer be dispelled and now also increases Ice Lance damage by 15%.
Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Proc chance is now 7/14/20%, down from 10/20/30%.
Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Changed from 2 to 3 ranks. Chance to proc is now 10/20/30%, up from 7/15%.
Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): This talent now triggers immediately on casting a spell rather than being delayed until the spell strikes the target.
