WoW Forever Mage leveling build: talents 10–20

Mage — Frost

Our controlled questing choice: hit chance first, freezing procs next, then Ice Lance at 20. Frozen targets make that final spell especially valuable. This follows the Frost beta guide; it is not a large-pull Blizzard farming build.

Bracket

Points

Allocation

Frost 11

Where to spend every point from level 10 to 20

The table allocates all 11 points from levels 10 to 20, without the Legacy Talented bonus. Talent names match the English calculator entries.

What these talents change while leveling

Elemental Precision 5/5 adds 5 percentage points of hit chance to Fire and Frost spells. Frostbite 3/3 then gives chill effects a 15% chance to freeze the target for 5 seconds.

Ice Shards deliberately stays at 2/5 in this bracket. It raises the critical damage bonus of Frost spells by 40%; that is not 40% more damage on every spell.

Ice Lance arrives at level 20. Its beta description gives it 300% increased damage against frozen targets. That interaction is the reason for the final point, rather than a base damage number taken out of context.

The tradeoff to know

This route is designed for controlled quest fights. Pulling large packs for Blizzard farming needs a different plan: this allocation is not a verified AoE farming route. Decipherable scrolls are covered in the separate guide below.
