We can only hope that this this travesty will be resolved, by simply increasing the damage of Howling Blast in BfA to compensate. This loss will surely be missed by “Howling Blargh” enthusiasts everywhere, especially those who had acquired the fine taste of the sacred “Machine gun Frost” playstyle. Instead, I’m going to focus on the most devastating loss of all, Blast Radius.īlast Radius is a very simple, yet effective artifact perk, where it quite literally increases the damage of your Howling Blast by a whopping 24% (at level 4), with a maximum possible increase of an astonishing 42%. However, I’m not going to list the list of useless fluff abilities we’ve lost, whose effect could have gone unnoticed if they were nerfed during Legion (and from a TC perspective, me and my spreadsheets are glad they’re gone).

We lost the Artifact, along with the fabulous perks and abilities contained within it. However, Frost is notably very slow on the Alpha, and the loss of the magical floating toothpicks ( Crystalline Swords) is definitely a loss I’m still reeling from. Even without any changes to it whatsoever (outside of damage tuning), Frost is still an okay spec due to to its robustness coming from Talents, and not the Artifact. Unholy debate for its simplicity, Frost actually plays pretty well on Alpha, in comparison to it’s accompanying DPS spec. However, most people just ping in #general of the Acherus Discord, which works just as well! His DM’s are always open on either Discord (Banter#7648) or on Twitter. He did what all power hungry people do in his position, became a Discord moderator. Banter is a terrible DK who retired because he was so bad.
