Azerite Traits and Trinkets: The Frozen Orb Build

[Dorovon]

Update (April 30, 2019): Hero Damage now provides data for the Frozen Orb and No Ice Lance builds. I would recommend using it for these builds because more data is provided and it will be kept more up to date.

Hello All,

The Frozen Orb build uses a custom Action Priority List (APL) and talents that are very different from the standard Frost build. Because of this, the charts available on Bloodmallet and Hero Damage do not provide accurate information for this build. Below are comparison charts of Azerite traits and trinkets for the most common talent variations used by this build.

All of these simulations use the base T23 Mage Frost profile. The Azerite trait simulations consider one, two, and three ranks of each trait on their own. Because of this, these charts do not show any synergies between different traits when they are combined. The trinket simulations show only Profession, Raid, Dungeon, and PvP trinkets. They consider equipping only one trinket and use three https://www.wowhead.com/spell=272968/packed-ice traits, two https://www.wowhead.com/spell=278541/whiteout traits, one https://www.wowhead.com/spell=288204/flash-freeze trait, and three https://www.wowhead.com/spell=266180/overwhelming-power traits.

Note that the results for https://www.wowhead.com/item=167867/har ... table-will use the option bfa.harbingers_inscrutable_will_move_chance=0.0, which causes the trinket to be overvalued.

Seems interresting, as traditional build seems quite disappointing... Is the result superior in DPS, compared to classic build ?

Is there any place to have advise about this build stats (is mastery>haste on this one ?)

Thanx for your help.

There is no full guide for this build yet, but If you want to read about the build, there is a pinned message describing it in the #research channel of the Altered Time Discord.

There is now a written guide for this build located here.
