How To Use FROST BOMB | Arena PvP Guide

so first what is Frost bomb it's a 15sec cool down 40 yard range 1 second cast it's pretty quick pretty quick cast places a frost bomb on the target after 5 Seconds the bomb explodes dealing 172k Frost damage to the main Target and then a smaller amount to people around the main Target and then afterwards all affected targets are slowed by 75% that part's not too important but it is nice if Frost bomb is dispelled before it explodes then you'll get a charge of brain freeze and what brain freeze is referring to is simply um a free flurry proc so you'll get a refunded charge of [Music] flurry okay so what you just saw there was Frost bomb in action you can see it has a delayed damage after 5 Seconds and you'll see both of the times I actually noed the target before the frost bomb was about to explode so that's when you want to time your shatter is right before the frost bomb is about to expire and you can shatter this a lot of different ways you can use flurry which is going to be a really consistent way you'll have ice Nova which is again really consistent and then Frost Nova which you won't do that often but it is an option and then you'll have the pet Nova that you gain access to whenever you prep uh press veins so you can use that as well to shatter it so now I wanted to go over how do we want to use Frost bomb in an efficient manner how can we actually use this spell and create the biggest possible burst window with it because ultimately that is how you want to use it you want to use it to create burst Windows when it spikes for a lot of damage that's obviously going to be huge and then while it's ticking down that's your time to sort of fit in the rest of your rotation and it's going to be up to you basically to fill in after Frost bomb what's going to be the best Global so a lot of times that's going to start with like an orb or a ring of fire or a comet storm or flurry or something in that order so you can kind of imagine if you have no Icy Veins you basically have four globals that you can press before the frost bomb expires so I'll show you what I mean Frost bomb one Global two Global three Global four globals and then on that fifth one that's the one that you want to use most of the time to shatter the frost bomb so you can use those you can treat those previous four globals as I'm trying to fit in other tools that will make the burst window higher such as orb Comet Ring of Fire stuff like that and obviously you want to think about kind of the order of those so comment you wouldn't want to send that one right after your Frost bomb because you don't have a way a shatter right away so let's do orb first and then let's get our shatter on the target with flurry then we can use Comet storm and then we can just send our Ray since we already have a way to shatter Frost bomb through flurry so we don't really need to worry about that we can just send our Ray for big damage so that would be that that would be like one example of how you can use it um there are other ways obviously so let's say maybe you're playing the glacial build and you have a glacial Spike so let me build up a glacial so now uh let me sheep him to get him to full HP so how do I want to set up my Frost bomb now uh so I can start with a frost bomb and it's going to be the same principle basically so I'm going to put Frost bomb on the Target and then I have a couple seconds to work with to fit in extra spells so I want to make sure I time the glacial towards the end when the frost bomb's about to explode so I can Frost bomb into orb into glacial Spike then shatter it right there and that's just extra damage on the go basically and you can see that is without any haste modifiers where this starts getting a little tricky is whenever you have a lot of haste you you actually get to fit in a lot more spells let me just eat up on one of my Mages here so whenever I pop Icy Veins that's going to give me access to a lot of haste which is going to increase the amount of spells that I can put before the frost bomb so I can actually probably get my full rotation off I'll do this kind of without orb just to give an example or actually I have it on this guy you can just do it on this guy who has every CD so I'm going to start with a Icy Veins into Frost bomb and then from there I'm just going to try to fit as many buttons in as I can before the frost bomb explodes to make for a huge burst window make sure I'm full HP I'll even put a ice barrier on so here we go and there was still a lot of damage obviously left in the tank there I honestly think that frostbolt I put in there was maybe a little bit extra probably shouldn't have even done that and then you can see I still have access to my pet Nova 2 so I could have even shattered that on top of the Comet storm to give every one of the Comet ticks Subzero value make it do 10% more so I'll do that rotation now actually on this guy so we'll just go ahead and do that now again and that one was out without AR Ray so that one's going to be the more like instant cast one and you'll see the difference is that I used ice Nova pet Nova to shatter the comet all of the Comet ticks and then I just threw in an ice Lance as well and I actually shattered the frost bomb with ice NOA that one is going to probably just be like the more instant cast rotation and that kind of leads us into another topic which is going to be playing around dispels so playing around dispels what I mean by this is in Arena uh healers have dispell spells and that's going to cause a large hindrance in your ability to get Frost bomb goes off every single time because healers just know to dispel it nowadays I suppose so one thing that you have to just keep in mind is that Frost bomb can be dispelled so if he does dispel it it would simply just give me a flurry charge back but it really sucks when that happens like I don't think getting a flurry charge back from a frost bomb dispel is a valuable trade because they're stopping close to 300K damage and all you're getting is this like 4% damage obviously like you the Winter's chill is the selling point of flurry but you guys get the point it's just not really a worthy trade there so you want to always try to time your windows by either forcing a dispel earlier or just kind of waiting for them to dispel something else so tracking enemy dispels is very important you can see if I pull up all my Arena add-ons I track healer dispels using tell me when if you guys don't have that it's available in my Discord channel so basically to go back on how to you know counteract that a really good way although people have been kind of falling for this less and less but is sheeping someone in Arena full sheep the Healer uh will dispel this most of the time because the alternative is that they're going to be just sitting in a full she a lot of times what I actually do let's say I have two different targets here to start a go what I'll do is I'll sheep one let's say I have a lot of haste right I'm going to full sheep uh agus and then Frost bomb this guy now he has to pick which one to dispel so he has to pick do I want to dispel Frost bomb or do I want to let my Mage sit a full polymorph so that's a really good way to kind of do your Frost bomb goes and then if you see that your Frost bomb gets dispelled early in the go then just know that the the target you shed has to sit that full and then that should give give you enough ability to get the rest of your damage off uninterrupted that you probably don't even need the frost bomb anyways because you're able to just do your whole rotation anyways I think that's all there really is to talk about with frost bomb I hope you guys enjoyed the video let me know if you enjoyed this like format of a shorter but kind of you know straight to the point guide on a certain ability y just let me know what you think check me out on Twitch twitch.tv/ egas live like almost every single day try to do viewer twos and whatnot you know play with you guys try to stream high rated 3es just stuff I think is going to be entertaining anyways enjoy the video peace
