Frost Mage DPS Ny'alotha Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.5

In this section, you will find information and guidance for each boss individually in Ny'alotha as a Frost Mage. These are not complete encounter guides, but rather provide specific tips for any Frost Mage on each boss.

As Frost does not change talents or gameplay in any scenario outside of a partner for Focus Magic, the vast majority of this will revolve around ways Mages can avoid mechanics.

We advise you to use the following essences against Wrathion, the Black Emperor.

• Major Slot

• Minor Slots
  • Essence of the Focusing Iris — Rank 3: Focused Energy
  • The Formless Void — Rank 3: Symbiotic Presence
  • Worldvein Resonance — Rank 3: Lifeblood

Ice Block can save you if you are caught on the wrong side of Burning Cataclysm.

Be sure to not pop cooldowns as the Smoke and Mirrors phase is about to begin. If possible, try and keep Frozen Orb for a group of stacked Crackling Shards.

On Heroic and Mythic, you can Blink or Shimmer through Images of Absolution safely.

You may also root them with Freeze and Frost Nova if required. This is best used in an emergency, due to the short duration of their effects.

• Minor Slots
  • Essence of the Focusing Iris — Rank 3: Focused Energy
  • The Formless Void — Rank 3: Symbiotic Presence

If you are fixated by an Aqir Drone, try and bring it into melee, so that they may be cleaved down. That said, your slows and roots are very useful in keeping them off of other raid members. Be careful to not root something as a knockback or grip happen; communication with your raid is key if you have access to those abilities.

On Mythic difficulty, it can be very helpful to save Blink or a charge of Shimmer to get away from Entropic Echo if you are tightly stacked, or in an otherwise bad position.

For more information, please refer to our The Hivemind guide.

• Minor Slots
  • Essence of the Focusing Iris — Rank 3: Focused Energy
  • The Formless Void — Rank 3: Symbiotic Presence

Ice Block can let you soak Entropic Buildup without taking damage, though you will still gain the stacking debuff, so do not instantly jump into another pool.

Blink to escape the Living Miasma and drag it further from the raid is optimal.

There is nothing Frost-specific on Mythic difficulty.

  • Essence of the Focusing Iris — Rank 3: Focused Energy
  • The Formless Void — Rank 3: Symbiotic Presence

Make sure to place Encroaching Shadows away from the raid. Blink is useful in getting it as far as possible. Prefer to take it to the sides of the room, rather than the entrance, as the boss strafes across the room left-to-right. The space at the entrance is precious, and you should keep it as clear as possible.

Counterspell any casters you see that are not in the pile so that they may be hit by AoE easier.

You cannot Ice Block Void Corruption stacks.

  • The Formless Void — Rank 3: Symbiotic Presence
  • Worldvein Resonance — Rank 3: Lifeblood

If your raid is focusing on controlling the adds, your slows and roots are valuable in dealing with the Blood of Ny'alotha. Be aware that you cannot hold them forever, and after a short time they will grow in size while also becoming immune to crowd control.

Otherwise, Bloods of Ny'alotha should be allowed to get near the boss's hitbox so that cleave can take them out quickly.

Blink can be used to run Corruptor's Gaze ground effects over itself if you angle it correctly.

There is nothing Frost-specific on Mythic difficulty.

Splitting Ice will allow you to hit two Horrific Hemmorages at once. Aim for two close to each other.

Likewise, you can usually hit two different Synthesis Growths in Phase 2, especially in the final area.

Blink will get you to your linked Paranoia partner quicker, although be careful to not overshoot them.

In the final phase, make sure both N'zoth and the Thought Harvester are in front of you, rather than turning around to hit the Thought Harvester. Splitting Ice cleave is crucial in this fight.
