General Offensive Cooldown Usage
Frost Mage has only one cooldown to think about using optimally on the fights in Liberation of Undermine:
Icy Veins - Our main, 2-minute cooldown. The spec heavily punishes not having uptime on this, so in almost all scenarios, you are popping it on cooldown.
Most of our other cooldowns are simply just rotational components of the spec. Unless the fight specifically has heavy AoE phases, Frost Mage tends to just ignore almost all fight timers and instead favours cooldown usage over strategics.
General Defensive Cooldown Usage
Frost Mage has several defensive spells that you should plan to use and rotate
throughout mechanics. You should opt to use the smaller cooldown spells often
as needed with incoming mechanics and save bigger cooldowns like Ice Cold
for large incoming damage.
Ice Barrier
Mirror Image
Greater Invisibility
Ice Block/
Ice Cold
Additionally, Alter Time can be utilized to heal back all the damage
you took in the time since you activated it, although this is a bit of an
advanced use.
