Frost Mage DPS The Eternal Palace Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.5
On this page, you will find tips, tricks, and strategies tailored to your Frost Mage for each boss of the following raid: The Eternal Palace. All our content is updated for World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.2.5.
Introduction
In this section, you will find tips and talent suggetions for all bosses in The Eternal Palace for Frost Mage. These are not complete encounter guides, but tips and suggestions. For the encounter guide, please click the above link.
It should also be noted that Worldvein Resonance should be slotted
in a minor slot if, and only if, the majority of your raid is running it.
Without consistent coverage by the other raid members, this Essence will fall
off. The suggestions below assume that no one else is running it. Replace
Essence of the Focusing Iris if your raid is running it and you somehow
have both Minor slots unlocked, otherwise run it as your Minor regardless.

Tips
- When
Inversion is cast,
Blink can be used to great effect, although care should be taken to not Blink into the path of someone else of the opposite colour. Attempt to Blink at an angle away from the boss, rather than straight through, unless you can be absolutely sure of your landing.

Overflow on higher difficulties.

Tips
- Surprisingly,
Frozen Orb behaves fine on this fight regardless of elevation. Be sure to not throw it into the coral beside the boss, but other than that, it will fly straight forward.
Ice Block can be used to get rid of
Bioluminescence, especially useful if you accidentally touch a jellyfish between phases, or if you refreshed your buff at the wrong time on Heroic.
Ice Block can also negate Mythic's
Piercing Barb. Do not cast
Invisibility on this, as you will die instantly.
For more information, please refer to our Blackwater Behemoth strategy guide.

Tips
Ice Block will save you from an
Arcane Bomb in a pinch, although this should be generally dispelled by healers. Likewise, if it goes off,
Blink can break the following stun if you are specced into
Ice Floes rather than
Shimmer.
Blink can get you past
Squall Trap during intermission, and can be used to negate the knockback from
Gale Buffet.
- If
Gale Buffet is going to knock you off the platform and
Blink is on cooldown, attempt to land in the outer water and
Ice Block the debuff off when you get to land. The inner water deals damage instead.

Ice Block will allow you to solo

Repeat Performance can be gamed by utilizing off-GCD spells, such as
Counterspell,
Ice Floes, and
Shimmer. You could also use this time to cast
Ice Barrier between repeat spells to help the healers out. This is also a good time to utilize
Fingers of Frost procs you have been ignoring.
For more information, please refer to our The Queen's Court strategy guide.

Tips
Dread should be dispelled at the correct time, so take care to not pop yours early with
Ice Block.
Ice Block will clear stacks of
Hysteria, allowing you to remain in
Delirium Realm a potentially long time.
- By the same token,
Ice Barrier will protect you almost entirely from damage at early stacks.
Splitting Ice appears to not cleave
Glacial Spike onto an ally, although the animation still still play.
For more information, please refer to our Za'qul, Harbinger of Ny'alotha strategy guide.

Tips
- Avoid hitting the Overzealous Hulk until it becomes
Infuriated, preferably by a long duration stun.
Glacial Spike's root effect will trigger Infuratied early.
Ice Block will break
Beckon.
Essence of Azeroth changes your rotation slightly. Due to
Glacial Spike being instant cast, you will want to instead cast
Flurry first, with Glacial Spike following up like an
Ice Lance.
For more information, please refer to our Queen Azshara strategy guide.
