When empowered by Rime, Howling Blast deals 30/60% increased damage to your primary target.

Developers’ notes: After reworking the tree and making room for the new talents we felt like Frozen Pulse didn’t offer anything unique to the Frost and rather than forcing it within the tree we decided it best to cut it for now to make room for what we hope are more interesting options.No longer a choice node with Frozen Pulse.This has been updated to also apply Razorice to your targets if Howling Blast is empowered by Rime.When Frost Strike damages an enemy with 5 stacks of Razorice it will consume them to deal an additional 60% damage.Now directly available after Gathering Storm and should no longer be able to be taken without knowing Remorseless Winter.Now properly grants +1 charge if you already know the spell from the core tree.Now available directly after Frostwhelp’s Aid or Enduring Strength.No longer a choice node with Obliteration.Moved below Frostreaper on the left side of the tree.No longer a choice node with Cold Heart.Moved to the right side of the tree below Improved Rime.No longer a choice node with Inexorable Assault.Now available directly after Pillar of Frost.Now Frost only and placed directly after Improved Obliterate.Moved higher into the tree and is now unlocked after the 1st gate.Now grants the strength buff when any Runic Power ability damages an enemiy.This doesn’t cover all of the positional and pathing changes for talents, but it does highlight some of the more notable ones. To help alleviate this issue, the upcoming tree has received new talents, reworked talents, existing talents moved to more accessible spaces, updated pathing connections, and lastly several selection node talents have been decoupled and moved elsewhere within the tree (most notably Icecap).īelow, you can find the new and updated talents. The existing Frost tree suffered a bit from a lack of choice once a player locked into a specific build (often choosing between Obliteration or BoS, then making 1 or 2 choices with what talent points remained). While we were generally happy with the Frost tree and what it had to offer, we also recognize that there were some improvements that could be made based on our learnings over Dragonflight’s Alpha development. We want to share some of the upcoming changes we have planned for the Frost spec tree in the next Beta build.
