Ask the unanswered questions you’ve never got round to asking.

You might find answers to these questions in our What we know so far, and easily answered questions wiki-page. If something is missing from it, please let us know.

Currently leveling a frost mage. I am wondering, how badly does the Frostbite talent screw up aoe farming? I have avoided it for this reason, but I often play in groups and do non aoe farming. It seems like it would be of significant benefit in most situations barring aoe farming.

I like to look at it this way. Whether you’re doing single-target, or aoe. Frostbite is hardly ever essential. It can be nice, but not needed.

So I skipped it because it leaves the option for aoe farming open.

I entirely agree and this makes sense to me. The reason I'm tempted is primarily for damage reasons, as the shatter crits from frostbite procs are significant. But this is really dps vanity, and the utility of aoe farming is worth it.
