Blizzard Changing Frost Mage Nerfs from Build 42257 - Icy Propulsion GCD Change Reverted

wowhead.com:

Blizzard has published a blue post announcing that they will be changing how Frost Mages are receiving adjustements in this build. Instead of changing Icy Propulsion GCD, they will instead further reduce the damage from Frozen Orb and Blizzard.

Thank you for the feedback. After further consideration, we will be reverting the Icy Propulsion ICD change, and we will instead further reduce the damage of Frozen Orb and Blizzard.

Our goal with the initial change to the internal cooldown was to help curb some of the power that it has gained over the expansion from other bonuses and changes such as: the uncapping of Frozen Orb, the upcoming tier set bonus, and iLvl increase of the conduit itself. However, we recognize that the Icy Veins uptime it has provided as the expansion progressed is something that Frost Mages have grown accustomed to, and losing that power in Eternity’s End would end up feeling like a regression in both performance and enjoyment of how the spec plays.
