Hunter Frost Damage

Recommended Raiding Build

1. Hunter Frost Damage

• Tier 1: Lonely Winter
• Tier 2: Shimmer
• Tier 3: Rune of Power
• Tier 4: Chain Reaction
• Tier 5: (Optional) but usually go with Frigid Winds
• Tier 6: Splitting Ice
• Tier 7: Thermal Void

Ray of Frost has been, and still is, very weak in the PvE environment. We won't be using Glacial Spike because we are building around optimizing our Ice Lance damage. That leaves us with Thermal Void which is a strong pick.

Recommended Mythic+ Build

Frostcraft is a Skill in Monster Hunter World (MHW).This skill is activated by Set Bonus: Velkhana Divinity Frostcraft Effect. Frostcraft has only 1 level. Level 1: An aura of frost builds when your weapon is sheathed, raising attack.Wanes each melee hit or shot fired. Equipment that grants Frostcraft. Mar 07, 2019 I main hunter and have recently been leveling a mage Main difference is Hunter esp bm can move and cast at all times Hunters having their own tank ups their survival, on the other hand the slow and cc of a frost mage is great for large pulls. Honestly i would pick the one who fits your fantasy Want to collect pets and use bow or gun go.

Lonely Winter truly triumphs here. It gives you a flat out 25% damage boost on your 3 main abilities: Frostbolt, Ice Lance and Flurry (we mainly care about the increased damage on Ice Lance since our build is based around spamming that ability as often as possible).

Without Shimmer mage-mobility is weak, with it, you're golden. It has a semi-short cooldown, usable while casting and also affected by the Night Fae covenant ability Shifting Power which will reduce its cooldown by 12 seconds every 45 seconds. Ice Floes and Glacial Insulation simply pales in comparison to the freedom Shimmer will give you.

This tier (level 30) is interesting. Mirror Image is now a baseline defensive ability for mages. Instead of that, we've now got Focus Magic. However, there's no question about it, Rune of Power is the choice to go with. Previously, Rune of Power was 10 seconds, and now it's 15. So that's a 50% uptime buff. Secondly, Icy Veins, Arcane Power or Combustion will now also create a Rune of Power at your location.

Ebonbolt was the main pick back in BFA because of the Glacial Spike build. But since this build is based around Ice Lance damage, the ability to go for is Chain Reaction.

This tier is a 'control' row, and therefore optional since none of the abilities will increase your damage output. Frigid Winds is most often picked here. Ice Ward and Ring of Frost is mainly for PvP.

Comet Storm recently got a 5% damage buff and Splitting Ice got a damage nerf. Speculation goes around whether Comet Storm is best on entirely single target fights and if you should go Splitting Ice with the slightest cleave or AoE. I would, for now, still go with Splitting Ice due to the static 5% Ice Lance buff.

Hunter Frost Damage

This tier is straightforward. Ray of Frost has been, and still is, very weak in the PvE environment. We won't be using Glacial Spike because we are building around optimizing our Ice Lance damage. That leaves us with Thermal Void which is a strong pick. Icy Veins duration is increased by 10 seconds, and for every Ice Lance you cast you prolong the duration of your Icy Veins by 1 second.
