- Expansion: Mists of Pandaria
Frost Mages primarily use gems, enchants, and consumables that increase their Intellect, Hit, and Haste to maximize their performance in Mists of Pandaria. Critical Strike Chance is generally avoided due to the Shatter mechanic, while Mastery is seldom taken on specific enchants.
