Also, if you look closely, the difference between the top TV build and top GS build is literally 3 dps. If that's not an indication of play whatever you like, I don't know what it.Until about yesterday, all I'd seen regarding BFA Frost was that we'd be going Glacial Spike for ST and Bone Chilling was making a come back because of the loss of the ebonchill traits.
The updates to this post seem to indicate otherwise, with TV / Lonely Winter still being the best choices for those talents.
Did something change recently for this to happen?

So is there still a crit goal to aim for? Is the single target crit priority so low after ~33% or do we not worry about that now?

I just simmed my guy this morning and int/mastery are simming as the two highest talents when before i was perfectly optimized for crit/haste. Guess those 975-985 mastery rings might come in handy.

Yeah I'm a bit confused on the shown crit scalings...is that before or after 33%~ crit for it to be so low rated? Is it somehow devalued now?
Re: [BFA Pre Patch] Talents, Racials, Legendaries, Enchants, Stats & More!
yes, these weights are after crit cap. Do sim your own characters weights, as you can see it can vary heavily from character to character.Yeah I'm a bit confused on the shown crit scalings...is that before or after 33%~ crit for it to be so low rated? Is it somehow devalued now?

I hold my Brain Freeze (BF) 100% of the time while playing with Glacial Spike (GS). Meaning, I never use it with only 0-2 Icicles, etc. Nothing is worse than spending a BF proc and then not getting one by the time GS is available and Ebonbolt (EB) is on cool down. In practice for me, it seems optimal. Occasionally I do get an overlapping BF proc, though.
I am curious what some of the Mage community's thoughts are. Do you do the same? Do you use your BF proc immediately on 1 Icicle only? 2 Icicles? Or do you save all of them for GS? etc.

It just feels detrimental when Ebonbolt is on cooldown, I just used my BF proc with 0-2 Icicles, and then I don't get a proc BF for what feels like a very long time. After how many casts do you wait before casting GS or do you just keep pumping FB until you get a proc?You only hold on 3+ icicles.I hold my Brain Freeze (BF) 100% of the time while playing with Glacial Spike (GS).
