Don't bother getting rank 5, just stick with rank 1. You do not use the spell for damage - 100 damage at this level is pathetic anyway. Save your gold and mana.

This is a very useful spell, allowing you to step/blink back and fire away. Effective in soloing, or mass PvP charge. Also helpful in chasing runners, although the range is somewhat short. One of the most used spells.
Frostbite, a talent, gives similar results - every time you chill someone they have a chance of freezing.

This is one of the most important spells in the mage's selection, as mages are "clothies" and as such, MUST avoid melee combat. This spell allows that.

It is also the reason that mages are very good at defending in WSG, as they can stop several enemies in the flag room, for the mage's teammates to destroy.

For you potential Frost Mages out there, here is a helpful hint:

When you get to the point where upgrading your Frost Nova, this is a must have. Once you spec this up, go for Shatter in your Frost talent tree. This is pretty much the only reason you go frost mage because it makes you crit very often.

So now when you use Frost Nova, they get frozen, as quickly as possible hit them with all the frost spells you got. This will do about 1000 damage everytime.

Melee classes hate mages almost only because of this spell. Use this to freeze them in place and blink to safety (or run if you don't have blink), then blast them from your new location to seal the deal. Melee classes who can't get close to their targets are doomed. >=D

i am a frost and arcane mage, everyone i have talked to, hates it when mages use frost nova and then run around them at a safe point and cast the aoe arcane until they are dead ,, which for me its fun bc if u have the skills and know your class of a mage good, u can take out about 4 at a time , while u run in circles .. just make sure u have a big mana pool :)

Commentaire de starkill

frost nova is a very usfall spell for getting out of warrior owning me right now situations. you just frost and blink very simple but very effective.

Commentaire de Hansol

This is very usefull when AoE grinding, You can hold off the enemys from attacking you, if you did you wouldnt be able to channel blizzard because of it beeing canceled. Also used to travel and stop what ever is chasing you, Blink and Frost Nova works very well.

Commentaire de Wildarms1

rank 1 frostbolt owns the highest rank. you can just as easily kite any melee with it and frost nova rank 1 would just ice the cake.

Commentaire de Mikezila

Heard they were renaming this "Freeze".

You might want to note that Mobs will always try to attack something. So if you frost nova them and you're then out of reach they'll try and attack something else unfriendly, in my case it was the level 17 Warlock I was twinking through Deadmines that had decided to stand in the middle of the group of mobs I was aoe-ing... Not a good sight. This is probably one of the few cases in which mobs will ignore their agro-metres.

Unfortunately, as of patch 2.0.10 Frost Nova will now break on first crit, regardless. This was to prevent Ice Lance spamming.

Commentaire de 24390

how big is the radius of this spell?
10 yards?

Commentaire de 83517

Rank 1 frost nova is the only rank of this spell that can be overwritten by a frostbite, using any higher rank will only grant you this message upon a frostbite proc: "a more powerful spell is already active"

Personally, I use rank 1 exclusively since I've specced frostbite and consider the chance of getting a frostbite proc more valuable than doing negligably more damage with frost nova.

Commentaire de 116979

And the point of rank 5 Frost Nova is..?? They might as well remove rank 2-3-4-5.

Commentaire de Nerobyrne

Definately, using frost nova rank 1 has saved my life so many times on my 70 mage....because I can use it even if my mana is really low....for me it has made a huge difference, being able to freeze with 50 mana instead of 200+....I know that the dmg is less, but that hasn't bothered me really, i don't even notice it. Also, it's nice to be able to get 1.6k crits with only 150 mana, especially in pvp^^

Commentaire de 87278

also remember if your fighting another mage....blink out of this, and fast

Commentaire de 150366

Be careful when using this spell in instances. If you frost nova a group of mobs, and the tank moves away from them, they will hit whoever they can reach if they're melee. This usually means that frost nova kills the rogue.

Commentaire de 34516

I recomend using this rank all the time. The argument that its damage output compared to other ranks is feeble. More then likely your using this spell for the effect not the damage.

Commentaire de Mindburn

Can be dispelled by a warlocks felhunter using Devour.

Commentaire de marjak93

"Damage caused may interrupt the effect."
What is the chance of this happening?

Commentaire de 357824

20 second cooldown as of patch 3.1.2

Assuming all relevant talents, what's the maximum number of times a mage can root someone with Frost Nova and Freeze in a 2-minute period?

I'll take a crack at it based on what I know, please let me know if I missed something:

Talents used:
Ice Floes
Summon Water Elemental
Enduring Winter
Cold Snap

Cold Snap cast after 61 seconds.

Talented Frost Nova cooldown: 20 sec.
Frost Nova cast at 0, 20, 40, 60, 62, 82, 102.

Talented Summon Water Elemental duration: 60 sec.
Freeze cast at 2, 27, 52, 64, 89, 114.

Total root effects in 2 minutes: 13. (Not counting Frostbite procs.)

I don't see much of a use for Frost Nova. It just adds a small amount of damage. Does it increase how much damage the ice can take before it brakes? If not, I suggest not using this yet... wait for like rank 3 or 4

Commentaire de Torkan91

I don't know if anyone has else has seen the same thing as me, but I can no longer see the Frost Nova "AoE effect" when I use it. Also, I have all my video settings on maximum, and I have asked friends if it's the same thing for them. Now I only see the target getting frozen if it hits.

Commentaire de 583111

According to what i found on the forums here on wowhead, the freeze will break after 40% of the targets maximum HP is dealt, and with the glyph 48%.
Glyph of frost nova synergy...

Commentaire de 121904

As a side note: Frost Nova can be blinked out of by mages, can be Freedomed by Paladins, Druids can shapeshift out of it, Ret/Holy Paladins, Resto Druids, Resto Shamans and Priests can Cleanse it off.

Commentaire de seahen

Radius is 12 yards, the same as for Cone of Cold, even though it's not indicated above. I tested this with the training dummies in Org.

Commentaire de 915925

Maybe the most usefull spell that one mage use.

Commentaire de Aislinana

Frost Nova counts as a "frozen" spell effect for Fracasser.

Commentaire de Scifi42

If you took lvl 75 talent Ice Nova it replases frost nova

Commentaire de KrazieFox

I had Frost Nova even as a Fire Mage - however it is removed/replaced with whatever you choose as your level 75 Talent. It saved my hide many times - I will miss it now.

Commentaire de WeThotUWasAToad

Want to have some fun?

In Alterac Valley, since all 40 enemy players (in my case that's 40 Horde) come out of the gate bunched tightly together, you can basically run right at them and, if timed right, freeze several at the front of the pack. Then, if Ice Ward is spec'd (Talent which gives your Frost Nova a 2nd charge), you can cast it again just after the GCD (1.3 sec) and by doing so, catch several more at the back of the pack.

At that point you've got like a dozen of them frozen in place (for 8 seconds). It's a riot because you can just sense their bewilderment since it was so unexpected and since, like most players, they wanted to be the first to arrive at wherever they are going. hehe

After your 2nd Frost Nova, you've got two options: one is to take off running and blinking away, and the other is to start spamming sheep & the tab key to dismount (and frustrate further) as many as possible. In either case, a bunch of them (almost always way more than is needed) will chase you down and kill you.

The net effect though, is that as a single player, you just tied up a bunch of enemy players for a significant amount of time and likely distracted probably twice or three times that many from their strategy. Doing so gives your teammates a slight head start in taking/defending their objective and in the process, will have you laughing out loud.

I love this spell!
