Comentario de skitzosmeagol

By far one of the most amazing kiting skills ever, no cast time, instant, short cooldown,mana efficient and it is able to hit multiple targets. This has a slower effect than frostbolt does so it is superiro to rank 1 frostbolt spam. Once you master the aiming of this spell you are nearly untouchable by mellee. Artic reach can effect Cone of Cold to make the range and distance it covers greater.

Comentario de 7927

Cone of Cold is a Mage's best friend in group PvP and solo PvP. In group PvP, Cone of Cold is best used immediately after using Frost Nova on a group of closely packed enemies, freezing them in place. If the proper talent points have been spent in the Frost tree, then Cone of Cold will more than likely critical strike the frozen enemies it touches.

In solo PvP, Cone of Cold is best used if your enemy gets too close to you, and you need to escape. Pop Cone of Cold on them, get some distance, and start throwing some Frostbolts! Using the Frost Nova>Cone of Cold technique is not optimal, since Frostbolt will do much more damage to a frozen enemy than Cone of Cold will.

I use this constantly actually. Despite it's higher mana cost, it crits very often if you're frost specced.. somewhat making it more efficient. I don't use it everytime it's up, but it's a great spell for that last 4% or so.

Comentario de 7075

In pvp you want as much instant damage as possible (If I could sit there and launch frostbolt I would love to). So fireblast isn't the only thing you should be using. Personally I don't mind spending extra mana, just to get another instant cast in (esp. since it crits for 1k+ for me).

Comentario de 9296

Very usefull for kiting because of its slowing affect, I wouldn't personaly use it for aoe damage Unless I speced into it and got the extra damage.

Comentario de 9590

This a very powerful spell especially for a Ice specced mage. Use it often it can really save you along with the mage's other powerful instant cast spells.

Comentario de 9250

Cone of cold can be a very effective kiting tool if used correctly. One of the most amazing things to do with this is to be running away from an enemy and jump, then use your mouse to turn 180 degrees in the air, cast this spell, then turn back 180 degrees to face forward again. While you're in the air, you continue going in the direction that you jumped, so you continue to run away from your attacker. All in all, you lose no speed from turning around to cast it, and your pursuer is now slowed to 50%.

Techniques like this are the difference between a good mage and an amazing mage.

It should also be noted that Cone of Cold is one of the few spells with a good mana to damage ratio that cannot be spell reflected by a warrior. Therefore it's great for when you see a warrior with a shield out.

Comentario de 98475

What is the range of this spell? and how large is the cone?

Comentario de Chase

Cone of Cold is a great spell to use in tandem with Fireball/Frostbolt and Fire Blast for Shatter spec Mages.

Root the target in place with Frost Nova. Load up a Fireball or Frostbolt (depending on gear and spec). Once it hits, immediately fire off a Fireblast followed by a Cone of Cold. If spec'd appropriately, you could then follow up with a Blastwave.

This is a massive payload of damage within a matter of seconds, and it allows you to stay mobile. If the target's still not dead, you can blink for distance (if melee) and fire off another Fireball/Frostbolt + Fire Blast. If you have Frostbite and get a touch of luck, most of those attacks will be criticals.

Not many opponents can withstand that.

note that if ur swimming, it shoots straight downwards.
Why ud be CoCing whilst swimming is beyond me though

Comentario de Elvage

Only problem with this spell is the fact that it misses (literally) when you think you got it in the right spot.

Sigh...

Comentario de Norrinir

Untalented Cone of Cold slows by 50% for 8 sec, with full Permafrost by 60% for 11 sec and with full Permafrost and Chilled to the Bone by 70% for 11 sec (which is compareable to Crippling Poison).

edit: added links

Comentario de SamuraiJakkass86

This is rank 2 of Cone of Cold.

Just sayin..

Comentario de 42728

so basically Blizz made this spell absolutely game breaking with the talent and is now a pretty much guaranteed win vs melee, And people dont actually use it.

Lol'd

Comentario de seahen

Having tested this on the training dummies in Org, I'm pretty sure it has the same radius as Frost Nova, even though Wowhead's entry for Frost Nova no longer indicates the radius.

Comentario de Willowwhisp

I just got yelled at for using this in Dire Maul with my level 40 mage by a healer who said I was drawing aggro. Is this true? Now I'm afraid to use it.

Comentario de Willowwhisp

sorry level 48 mage

Comentario de 183229

Am I the only one that's considered making a macro that has me yell, "TASTE MY ICY COC!" whenever this ability is used?

Comentario de 149397

Darn it.

In MoP (based on build on 1/08/2012) it's slow duration has been reduced to 6 secs, it's CD without reduction talents is at 10 sec. We can't use it to kite mobs anymore as we can in Cata with it's 8 sec slow + 8 (/w talents) sec CD.

Comentario de Thottbot

Man using Coc, in my opinion is such a distraction to the enemy. I use it because they usually dont attack me and they run

Comentario de Thottbot

I feel invinsible with this!

I almost feel overpowered! MAges FTW=D

Comentario de Thottbot

I know this is a dumb question but here it go's..... Do you cast CoC on self or the enemy?

Comentario de Thottbot

cone of cold would own shammies cause they cant earth shock it, with shatter and cold snap this chain of spells would own:

FN-CoC-Cold Snap-FN-CoC-AE-AE... until the target is dead

notice everything is an instant cast so you cant counterspell/kick/earthshock/etc. it

Comentario de Thottbot

cold snap has a 9 min cool down....which means u can only use that strat about 3 times in bg or once if u try to camp a shaman

Comentario de Thottbot

CoC couldnt stop my pally from running up and pwning the mage, no bubbles on me, no blessing of freedom; i think i resisted it everytime :P

Comentario de Thottbot

right so we all no its a fr8 spell. but whats te range on it?

Comentario de Thottbot

as a lvl 31 fire mage, i haven't really found a good use for this. it cost a lot of mana for the damage and what good does slowing enemy when the has to be right in front of me to hit it?
I don't think it slows the attack just movement speed.
It is instant cast which is nice, but i would mujch rather use Frost Nova, and back up 2 steps and unlesh the fire within.

The only way I have found is
Pyroblast-fireball-scorch (now enemy is in front of me) fire blast-backup-fireball-scorch-(enemy on me again) fireblast and then cold of cone cause it is instacast.

I also use arcane explosoin there and blastwave as other instacast.

I suppose i could use it to slow a group before i flee, but they would all need to be infront of me and Frost Nova works so much better for that.

Comentario de Thottbot

Blink towards the enemy flag carrier and use either frost nova or cone of cold.
Frost nova might be on cooldown.. remember cooldown? its that annoying thing that makes you unable to spam frost nova...

Comentario de Thottbot

it looks like a really cool spell cant wait till i get it

Comentario de Thottbot

i got a 29 twink mage and i dunno wether 2 go frost or fire spec (i fire atm) but cold snpa means 2 cone of colds and 2 frost novas plz help

Comentario de Thottbot

ok i really think as a twink as in pvp go into fire and arcane you get a bunch of awsome things to make it so the enemy has a hard time doing anything and later you can instant pyroblast with PoM and get improved counterspell so you can silence other casters i highly recomend this build if you're a twink (as in for pvp) and person above me saying that you'l be unique because you choose frost... WHAT SERVER ARE YOU FROM AND DO YOU PLAY THIS GAME? ALMOST EVERY MAGE IS FROST SPEC THAT I SEE and as far as the water elemental goes if fought other mages with it, it is kinda usless because it doesn't take that much to kill it, it takes barley more damage then a warlock's imp.

Comentario de Thottbot

Its your opinion to choose what spec to be. Well arcane spec is mostly defensive and some offensive. Fire spec is all offensive, you can do massive damage, but frost is more safer than fire but is weaker and half defensive and half offensive.

Comentario de Thottbot

arcane isn't defensive... PoM and arcane instability are there for massive busrt damage, if you think PoM pyro is fire spec you're wrong, but i wouldn't go arcane low level, i personally perfer fire because of the high numbers, and it just seems like i have to drink more with frost, but its up to you

Comentario de Thottbot

IMO the coolest looking move in the game.

Comentario de Thottbot

I don't think most of you got the point of CoC it's ment to be a nice instant cast spell for FROST mages, since they don't got many damage frost spells, Frost nova, ok it's nice freeze effect but it's not a damage spell, ice lance, yea really awesome but it's first at lvl 64 or something...
Frostbolt is sorta the only single target damage spell except CoC wich really rocks in all aspects, slows ALL enemies infront of you, and is useful if you got someone hitting you and don't got time to cast frostbolt.
it really rocks if you know how to use it..

Comentario de Thottbot

Cone of Cold , it's being used , for Multipline damaging targets. And slowing them .
When there is a frost mage ,with the talent maxed '''Frostbite''' You have a change to do the same effect as a frost nova.on them

But ey, fire is much better..

^^ POM-AP-TRINKET-PYRO ^^

Comentario de Thottbot

You DO realize that mages are being nerfed in the next patch, don't you? The Ice Barriar has a cooldown, so you can't use that spell that kills the cooldowns of all your ice spells and then re-barrier yourself.

(I'm a warlock at heart, I just have a 27 Ice Mage)....

Comentario de Thottbot

as for the shamans-

No, not really. Shamans would just wait until you're done instant casting to earthshock, and hit you with every other shock or melee in between. They can heal the damage easily, or just tank through it.

CoC does little but annoy shamans.

Comentario de Thottbot

Got my little mage to 26 today and thet spell is soo coool ! all thet got World of warcraft make mage just to get this cool spell!§!§ lol

^^

Comentario de Thottbot

All I have to say is... Watch that. Yep, he is frost.

lol that dude ROXORD
thats it...
screw warlocks, screw rogues...

im goin mage ^_^

Comentario de Thottbot

if u had ice shards - shatter - cold snap u could do MAJOR damage in little time. just frostbolt till they get close FN backup frostbolt CoC AE till dead. (fireblast every now and then)

Comentario de Thottbot

also should have Winter's Chill.

Comentario de Thottbot

I like this spell,i use it to slow ppl in front of me ,then turn around blnk,cast a spell

Comentario de Thottbot

I do not like this spell because i think it is interfiring with my frost bite. Because it slows by 10% more than frostbolt i think when i hit the target with a frostbolt and the target has coc debuf then the chill of the frostbolt is being ignored and there is less chance of a frostbite occuring.
Is this true? please respond.

Comentario de Thottbot

Well I used to be one of those people who never knew F*** all about mage talents, but slowly i was getting better. i never thought about frost as a decent spec because i was happy with my arc/fire build. I had taken a look on several websites, and decided that fire was for me it looked so appealing you know, MAJOR burst dmg in little time :). But i have been searching around for a better PvP build cos once u get to 70 u want to get the PvP Gear i.e Veteran and Merciless sets, plus i like PvP. SO i watched Videos of mages who were brilliant, checked their Talent Build on WoW Armory i checked more websites, and i came to this conclusion (call me a noob or whatever later don't really care :D)

Fire Spec -PvE- Brilliant for lvling up, why? because fire DOES deal that extra burst dmg to take mobs down in less than 5 seconds, so thats great when ur in instances or on your own questing/grinding.

Fire Spec -PvP- Its good for PvP im not saying it isn't, but the matter of fact is that if ANY class get to you your practically dead, but nevertheless if you work in groups stay a little hidden and let off your Fireballs/Pyroblast, then its all good, BUT be warned you will still be a weak clothie for your opponents. Pray to god when you meet someone with High Resilience that you don't die cos then ur finished :)

Frost Spec -PvE- This is good AND bad, first of all its BAD because it doesn't do as much dmg as fire, if you see anyone saying their Frostbolts do more dmg then their Fireballs i wouldn't belive them. Fire is Ultimately better for Burst Dmg. Now then this doesn't make it useless,once i hit 70 i needed money ASAP, frost has the survivability that mages so lack, its Ice Barrier,Ice Block,Water Elemental, these are all very very good in AoE Grinding(AoE grinding = Killing Mobs by using Area of Effect Spells) that is what i LOVED about frost making money was just so easy.

Frost Spec -PvP- This is where the Frost Spec shines through, it is ultimately without a doubt i would say a formidable spec, purely because we last longer, again all the spells mentioned above are brought into use, and this spec is also good because it requires Practice, knowing what to do again certain classes, knowing when to ice block,when to summon water Elemental and more things. The Talent skills such as shatter and Frostbite make it that much sweeter. Some people say that the frost spec is only good when u have the target in frost nova, that is partially true, but then again its the same reason we have talents to reduce CD,why our pet has its own Frost nova, why we can ice block and wait for the CD to go, why we can blink and wait for the CD to go,Why we have Cold snap to do all that all over again :). I'm sure u get the point.

Arcane Spec --ooooh-- Well its simple this spec is a compliment to Fire build or Frost Build, i personally would say go Arc/Fire if you wanted to choose Arcane as a definite tree, but Arcane on its own is complete bull!@#$, but mixed with ANY of the other two its formidable, the reason i say never said Arc/Frost because i belive the Water Elemental has more Value than the Arc tree. (but its up to you). One more thing if u choose the arcane spec u have to dig DEEP into that tree before anything good comes out of it.

My Current Build is a 0/12/49 (never chose Arcane because like i said u have to go deep into that tree leaving me with fewer points to spend in frost)

Comentario de Thottbot

Can anyone tell me whether damage breaks the slowing effect? I'm wondering whether a fire/frost AoE grinding build is viable. I'm thinking the AoE blizzard method combined with shatter, improved FS, and ignite, could be really nasty.

For example, gather mobs, nova, improved FS, CoC, blink (or just run) for distance, improved blizz, CoC again if necessary. The improved FS (+15% chance to crit plus another +50% chance from shatter would pretty much guarantee a crit on all mobs. If you also had ignite, we're talking a lot of dot dmg too.

The question, however, is will that dot dmg break the slowing effect from the first CoC, which could make getting off that first blizz a little more difficult?

Comentario de Thottbot

Um sorry but I have no clue what you just asked as my main is level 12. But I have been researching future mage spells and have learned a ton. Mainly that a fire mage can cast two loads of damage spells within 2 seconds. *Fire Blast and Blast Wave* Followed up by POM then Pyroblast is deadly. In fact if you cast polymorph then pyroblast before this I think the target will be surely dead as that does around 4k-5k damage in total. So where does this spell come in use. Well if you are out of all you instants then use this or frost nova the fireball.

This process works like a charm.

Comentario de Thottbot

Its good for PvP im not saying it isn't, but the matter of fact is that if ANY class get to you your practically dead, but nevertheless if you work in groups stay a little hidden and let off your Fireballs/Pyroblast, then its all good, BUT be warned you will still be a weak clothie for your opponents. Pray to god when you meet someone with High Resilience that you don't die cos then ur finished :)

I have another view.

Like you I have done a crap load of research on this.

Here is the layout.

Your a mage in PVP you see a group a horde group.

Spot someone with full health no pet.

By the way you have to be fire/arcane for this which I am planning to be.

Damage is in Quotations.

1. If they see you polymorph then pyroblast if not just pyroblast. (939-1191 + 365)

2. Fire Blast (664- 786)

3. Blast Wave (616-724, Also dazes for 6 seconds)

4. POM (Makes next spell instant)

5. Pyroblast (939-1191 + 365)

6. Frost Nova (99-111, Also dazes for up to 8 seconds)

7. Fireball (633-805 + 84)

8. Fireball (633-805 + 84)

9. Fire Blast (664- 786)

Notice how nearly all of these spells are instant. Now add in some fire talents like greater chance to stun, critical etc.

The fact is if anyone is still alive they are crapping good and have wicked defense or they resisted POM.

6k-7k Damage

As a level 12 I do not actually know if this is enough to beat people but well here it is and you better like it. :D

Comentario de Thottbot

you think if someone get close 2 a frost mage there dead and if they get close 2 a fire mage you will own them you know @#$% frost mages have way more survibilty than fire mages frost barrier ice block CoC frost blink nova winters chill(with talents) frost armor so lvl a mage first then comment about frost spec mate

ps fire mage just get blink and frost nova and sorry if and bad spelling

Comentario de Thottbot

This spell is just spectacular with the proper talents...especially when you're being swamped by loads of meanies. Ice mages can survive way more than the other specs, in my opinion....mainly because of root. (Keep in mind that I'm basing this on a purely PvE standpoint. PvP comes down to skill and gear and amount of buddies you have with you. Also, how late you come to a battle, because if any class sees you first, they will hunt you down across mire and heath, just for the "honor" of killing a "glass cannon" ;).)

Frost Nove, then a Cone of Cold, and it's nearly an instant crit. I am a 64 mage atm, so I haven't been able to squeeze all of my points into this glorious line...so I have yet to put points into Imp CoC. Yet, with all the stuff I have with me, I still do a 1200-ish crit on multiple enemies. I don't know about Blast Wave's damage, but that's a nice bit of health missing.

Then, with Fluffy the Water Elemental, use his Nova after the Coc's cooldown is over, and CoC again. That's 2400-ish health, which is little over a fourth of, say, a Bog Lord's estimated HP. Given that I am using this on multiple targets, say, 3 Lords of the Boggy, that's 7200 damage for relatively small mana cost. This is assuming I am lucky enough for the beasties to not resist any.

As soon as I get Lance, I shall use it on any creature still in the ice for the super damage. And Fluffy bangs away all the while, helping me! And he can tank about 4 blows before he's bracers and dihydrogen monoxide.

Comentario de Thottbot

dude 1200 crits are easy with this, i have talent pts in imp CoC and im doin 1.2k crits with this at lvl 63. i love when u crit twice with 1 spell. kill 2 birds (or orcs ^^) with 1 stone (or CoC)
