Hello my magic friends.
i have some questions about the aoe and signle target rotation.

singletarget

Nr.1 Should i always try to get rid of my icy fingers before flurry to get out one more shattered to stack the bracers?
Nr.2 Is it worth to spam one icylance without icy fingers to mentain the bracer stacks?
Nr.3 How important is the chainreaktion buff from icelance which stacks up to 30% icelance damage. Should i try to keep him up even if im on 3 icy fingers stacks?
Nr.4 Is it worth to instant cast blizzard on one target while frozen orb is up?

AoE

Nr.1 At how many targets is it worth to cast blizzard without the instant cast?
Nr.2 What should i cast in large aoe groups if my blizz and orb are on cooldown and i dont have any icy fingers? Frostbolt or normal icelances?


A lot of questions,
i hope someone has the time to help me.
Thank you in advance

ST;
1. Try not to hold on to any FoF charges. Use them as they come up. If you're mid-casting Frostbolt and have both BF and FOF procs, Consume the BF proc and munch the FOF
2. No
3. You don't actively monitor it. If you're playing correctly, it shou;ld be up most of the time
4. No, unless you have to move and have nothing else to cast.

AOE
1. 2+
2. Frostbolt

Thank you nickseng
