Welcome to this week's Register to unlock hidden link, the weekly Register to unlock hidden link column that insists that tragic teleportation accident that left you with a polearm instead of an actual arm does not entitle you to a refund.

Yeah, I should have known better than to start a Register to unlock hidden link during Register to unlock hidden link.

Barring more huge news, we'll come back to the leveling guide next week, but this week we need to discuss the fact that Register to unlock hidden link is awesome. Don't believe me? Stop reading this right now. Download Register to unlock hidden link. Transfer your mage over. Spec Frost. Go find a training dummy. Use Deep Freeze on it. Giggle. Then come back here, because holy crap.

Here's how the spell works currently on the PTR:

Deep Freeze: This spell now deals a large amount of damage to targets permanently immune to stuns.

The base damage is 1469 to 1741. The spellpower coefficient appears to be rock solid, something in the neighborhood of 2-2.5. It doesn't currently benefit from Register to unlock hidden link or get an increased crit chance from Register to unlock hidden link, but I expect both of those things to change before this goes live. When it hits the PTR, it'll be the single most powerful damage-dealing spell Frost mages have.

It'll be like a Register to unlock hidden link made of ice. Only better.

For those of you with a short attention span, here's the tl;dr version:

After patch 3.3 hits, in a Register to unlock hidden link spell rotation, you will use Deep Freeze every time it's off cooldown, and you will see a substantial DPS increase because of it. Read on for the longer, more text-intensive version.
