Frost channeling reduces the mana cost of all schools' spells. It's in the tooltip for it.

It has been since 3.0.8, with the change to Torment of the Weak proccing off melee/cast slows.

I think you misunderstand how EJ works. Its not a chat room, and its not twitter either.

Is it worth casting Abarr after MBAM anymore?

perhaps, i merely thought it was a place for people of the same class to come and discuss changes to that class

Please, read the thread.

I did, just wanted to see the exactly why. Abarr's coef was nerfed 10 percent, but it still gives an extra chance to proc MBAM. I'll look into it later after our raids.

Theorycrafting isn't exactly set in stone yet, the changes went through yesterday.

Ah, my bad.

Do you think the [Bandit's Insignia] worths the slot? I'm not sure if the extra dmg is good enough...
Yesterday running Naxx 25 it was responsible for 2% of my dmg. I keep asking myself if, for example, [Mirror of Thruth] wouldn't be a better DPS increase.

Hey Neenah, I LOVE your UI, almost makes me want to remake mine with that layout type you have (and I just might!). However one thing I'm wondering is what the addon is that shows skill icons to your left and right, ie: "Starfire Sun, Earth and Moon." Some sort of cooldown/buff thing? Is it appearing in the combat text?

Thanks

That addon is actually just Satrina Buff Frames. I made it so that buffs and debuffs that have 10 seconds or less left on them are displayed on my character left. The icons on the right side are target's debuffs that I have casted. The icons are very big like that because I suck at noticing important stuff during hectic combat

This would justify the spell having a lower base/coefficient and effectively be a 'raid boss only' spell in implementation, since your PvP options for a 6s cast spell that requires a Frozen target to be worth it in any sense of the word are slim to none...although concievably this could cause issues with a stacked Frost arena team or the like.

I would absolutely love to see a long cast time (and subsequent cooldown) with high mana cost for the infamous Frozen Orb of Diablo 3 fame. A lovely, devesatating globe of frozen fury.
It would have to be the 51pt talent or unable to be cast with presence of mind to ensure it wasn't viable in PvP, but it is just what the frost raiding mage needs right now to be competitive... a 'big gun' that scales well to increase PvE dps.
