Shadowlands Legendary powers grant impactful gameplay effects for your Frost Mage through the new Runecarving system. As your crafted Shadowlands legendary will be the most important piece of gear in the expansion, providing large performance benefits, it is crucial to pick the right legendary to craft and effectively spend your Soul Ash, Soul Cinders, and Cosmic Flux.
In this guide, we will recommend the best legendary powers and item slots for your Frost Mage for Shadowlands content, as well as highlighting which legendaries are not worth crafting.

Double Legendaries for Frost Mage
Patch 9.2 adds the option for players to equip two legendary items instead of one. This unlock is done by finishing Chapter 7 of the Zereth Mortis campaign. With this unlock, players are able to either use their
Waist of Unity
or craft a second legendary using
团结的回忆
.
While you have complete freedom for your first legendary, your second legendary can only be your Covenant legendary. Both
Waist of Unity
or legendaries created with
团结的回忆
change their effect based on your current covenant, so you don't need to craft four separate second legendaries.

Best Frost Mage Legendaries
Generally the Frost Mage Legendaries are
冻结寒风
generally and
顺滑寒冰
for Single Target. Frost Mage is very strong in AoE and will likely be the preferred spec for Mythic+. The
冰霜风暴
and
冰霜风暴
set bonuses are strong, especially in AoE, but ultimately don't affect our choices here.
Best Single Legendaries
Raid Legendary
:
顺滑寒冰
or
冻结寒风
(rare cases)
Mythic+ Legendary
:
纪律严明
or
冻结寒风
for Night Fae,
冷锋
for Necrolord
Best Double Legendaries for Frost Mage
Eternity's End allows players to wear two legendary items, instead of one, with a restriction. One of the two legendaries must be your covenant legendary, making covenant choice now also impacted directly by the strength of Covenant Legendaries. Double Legendaries become available during week 5, after completing its story chapter.
Best Double Legendaries
Raid Legendaries
:
Necrolord:
顺滑寒冰
&
死亡深渊
for one to three targets
Necrolord:
冷锋
&
死亡深渊
for cleave
Necrolord:
冻结寒风
&
死亡深渊
for fights that mix both single target and cleave where
死神之躯
cooldown does not line up well. Also good for heavy movement.
Venthyr
:
冻结寒风
or
顺滑寒冰
&
堕落欢愉
- Don't play Venthyr if you have double legendaries or 2p unlocked.
Mythic+ Legendaries
:
Night Fae:
纪律严明
or
冻结寒风
and
法夜之心
Necrolord:
冷锋
&
死亡深渊
Best Frost Mage Legendaries For Mythic+
Night Fae is very strong in AoE.
法夜之心
provides a buff to Haste and Critical Strike but the main benefit is that you can cast
变易幻能
while moving. This legendary provides a moderate damage increase in AoE, but much less on bosses since it stacks 10 times and each hit counts.
纪律严明
provides crit damage and has high AoE damage. In order to proc this legendary, typically you only need to cast
火焰冲击
since
法术反制
,
能量符文
, and other Arcane spells are commonly used in Mythic+.
冻结寒风
provides a lot damage in cleave and AoE.
变易幻能
reduces the cooldown of
寒冰宝珠
, so it has some light synergy with
冻结寒风
but this isn't new in 9.2.
法夜之心
has very little impact on our decision to prefer Night Fae in most of Mythic+.
Best Frost Mage Legendaries For Raiding
顺滑寒冰
is a great option single target and cleave as Necrolord.
Necrolord:
死亡深渊
&
顺滑寒冰
死亡深渊
and
顺滑寒冰
actually have a bit of synergy since they both affect
寒冰箭
.
寒冰箭
is a very weak spell on its own but since
死亡深渊
amplifies our spell damage with each hit, the synergy is enough to make this combination worth mentioning. Best when fight timings line up well with
死神之躯
for cleave.
Necrolord:
死亡深渊
&
冻结寒风
死亡深渊
and
冻结寒风
have very little synergy outside of the spell damage increase, but this combination will likely find use in raid encounters with lengthy cleave. Still a decent setup if there is a ton of movement, but generally performs worse than
顺滑寒冰
.
Necrolord:
死亡深渊
&
冷锋
死亡深渊
and
冷锋
have a lot of synergy, since every
寒冰箭
cleave also counts towards the
冷锋
. Even though there is extreme synergy here,
冷锋
is not very strong outside of
死神之躯
which means it's kind of an "all-or-nothing" playstyle where you use
寒冰宝珠
and
暴风雪
on cooldown and hold procs while spamming
寒冰箭
. This setup is a bit of a meme, but in the right scenario (Huge pull every 3 minutes) it is incredibly strong.
Venthyr:
堕落欢愉
&
冻结寒风
or
顺滑寒冰
Venthyr Frost Mages running
堕落欢愉
gain a small bump in Single Target, due to the cooldown reduction for
折磨之镜
. In AoE, this covenant legendary provides very little since
折磨之镜
doesn't do much for us outside of Single Target. This combination doesn't shake things up much and has very little synergy, but since Venthyr is already strong in Single Target any gain is welcome. I recommend Necrolord for Mages who have unlocked a 2nd legendary or 2p.
Double Legendaries for Frost Mage
Patch 9.2 adds the option for players to equip two legendary items instead of one. This unlock is done by finishing Chapter 7 of the Zereth Mortis campaign. With this unlock, players are able to either use their
Waist of Unity
or craft a second legendary using
团结的回忆
.
While you have complete freedom for your first legendary, your second legendary can only be your Covenant legendary. Both
Waist of Unity
or legendaries created with
团结的回忆
change their effect based on your current covenant, so you don't need to craft four separate second legendaries.
Recrafting Legendaries for Frost Mage in Patch 9.2
Patch 9.2 marks the return of Tier sets to World of Warcraft. This change, however, means fewer slots that you can wear a legendary item, since all specs will want to wear their new 2 and 4 piece bonus in all content, as they provide powerful bonuses. With that, Frost Mages will want to recraft the following legendaries, to accomodate the new tier slots.
If your current legendary does conflict with a tier set item, you'll typically want to recraft that legendary to a different item slot. For convenience, we've highlighted the most useful legendaries for Frost Mage that you'll likely want to recraft as well as the new recommended slot for that legendary in order to avoid conflicts with Tier Set Pieces:
MAKE SURE YOU ADD 'background=<Class Color>' TO THE TOP ROW OF EACH TABLE
Legendary
New Best Slot
冻结寒风
Head (if Gloves are part of 4p)
顺滑寒冰
Waist (if Legs are part of 4p, assuming you are not using
团结腰布
)
团结的回忆
Helm (BiS), Boots, Cloak, or Ring (flexibility)
If you want to craft a single Unity for all 3 specs, mage doesn't have a stat combo that works for all three. Typically Fire and Frost prefer Haste and Versatility whereas Arcane prefers Crit and Mastery. For best results, sim your own character.
Helm is technically best but means you need a very specific tier setup, and doesn't work for other specs or
冻结寒风
. Ring is flexible but the secondary stats preferred for Frost are not great for Arcane. Boots and Cloak provide little secondary stats while also being flexible, which means you lose less as other specs.
I recommend going for flexibility for now and changing things to optimize later.
Ideal Upgrade Order for Frost Mage Legendaries
Frost's best Legendaries are
冻结寒风
for cleave (non Necrolord) and
顺滑寒冰
for a single target and Necrolords, so the crafting order depends on what you value more.
#1
Recraft
顺滑寒冰
as belt
#2
Upgrade your main Legendary to maximum rank:
顺滑寒冰
for single target and
冻结寒风
.
纪律严明
and
冷锋
are best for Mythic+
#4
Upgrade your second Legendary to maximum rank
Frost Mage Covenant Legendaries
Mages have also received four new legendaries in 9.1. One for each of the four covenants. None of these new legendaries are worth crafting directly, since you can use
团结的回忆
.
Venthyr
堕落欢愉
- Consuming
冰冷智慧
, a
火焰冲击
charge,
节能施法
reduces
折磨之镜
cooldown by 4 sec. If
折磨之镜
is dispelled the cooldown is reduced by 45 sec.
Necrolord
死亡深渊
- Your
火球术
,
寒冰箭
, and
奥术冲击
have a chance to grant
死神之躯
for 8 sec. While in the form of a skeletal mage the spell damage granted is increased by 1% for each enemy hit by Fireball, Frostbolt, and Arcane Blast.
Night Fae
法夜之心
变易幻能
can be channeled while moving. Each enemy hit by Shifting Power grants you 1% Critical Strike and Haste, up to 10% for 15 sec.
Kyrian
谐律回响
- Damage dealt to enemies affected by
璀璨火花
's vulnerability echo to 4 nearby enemies for 30% of the damage dealt.
Best Frost Mage Legendaries
What Legendaries to Craft as a Frost Mage
Before we dive into the Legendaries, a preface on the slot: you should, generally, craft for the slot you will gain the biggest benefit from in terms of raw budget, i.e. whichever slot has the most stats.
In terms of stats to target, you should normally craft Legendary items with Critical Strike and Haste.
We've listed the Legendaries in terms of impact. The most impactful and important Legendaries are ranked first; Legendaries not worth crafting are grouped together at the bottom of the page.
顺滑寒冰
Available Slots
: Waist, Legs
Crafting Preference
: Legs
Source
: Torghast, Tower of the Damned, Mort'regar, Layer 3+
More Frostbolts means more chances to generate
寒冰指
and
冰冷智慧
, making this Legendary really powerful against one target. For non-Necrolords use other options in situations with 3+ targets. For Necrolord, this is your go-to option.
Verdict
: Craft this if you raid.
冻结寒风
Available Slots
: Head, Hands
Crafting Preference
: Hands
Source
: Sire Denathrius, Castle Nathria
This power gives you a way to reliably generate
寒冰指
, which is great in single target and cleave fights. There are a lot of systems buffing
冰枪术
in Shadowlands, so being able to cast more of them is great.
Verdict
: A reasonably versatile Legendary for single-target and AoE. Good all around legendary, especially for non-Necrolords.
冷锋
Available Slots
: Chest, Back
Crafting Preference
: Back
Source
:
缚霜者纳尔佐
,
通灵战潮
Casting
寒冰箭
and
冰风暴
trigger
寒冰宝珠
. Since
寒冰宝珠
is strong in AoE, but
寒冰箭
and
冰风暴
are only cast in Single Target and Cleave, this legendary exists between those worlds. Not especially good at anything specific, but decent at everything.
Verdict
: This power has synergy with Necrolord's
死神之躯
because each
寒冰箭
cleave counts towards the buff. Useful for Necrolord Frost in M+.
纪律严明
Available Slots
: Wrist, Finger
Crafting Preference
: Finger
Critical strike damage increase after casting a spell of each school. 30 second cooldown. Activate on cooldown. Keep in mind that the
能量符文
that auto-casts with
冰冷血脉
also counts.
Verdict
: Decent AoE legendary for Frost (Night Fae), typically for M+.
Situational Frost Mage Legendaries
冰川碎片
Available Slots
: Legs, Back
Crafting Preference
: Legs
Source
: Torghast, Tower of the Damned, Coldheart Interstitia. Layer 3+
This Legendary is really strong in AoE and deals reasonable priority target damage, but it's behind all our other offensive options against a single target. A decent option on Fortified weeks if you need it, but your boss-damage will suffer. Not really used much anymore in 9.2.
When using
冰川碎片
, you should switch to spamming
冰枪术
(even without
寒冰指
) and casting
暴风雪
on cooldown at 3+ targets in AoE.
Verdict
:
冻结寒风
should be your first craft if you're focused on Mythic+ content, but this one has some edge cases it's useful for. Only recommend this legendary as Night Fae.
拓展潜能
Available Slots
: Waist, Feet
Crafting Preference
: Feet
Source
: Stone Legion Generals, Castle Nathria
冰冷智慧
is a really strong proc in Shadowlands. While this is purely focused on 1-2 targets, and isn't as good as some of our spec Legendaries, it has a use no matter what spec you're using so is a good option for Mages who like to switch depending on the fight. This legendary is buffed in 9.0.5 to be our second best in Single Target.
Verdict
: A flexible, but not optimal, Legendary for all three specs.
时霎扭曲
Available Slots
: Chest, Ring
Crafting Preference
: Ring
Source
: Torghast, Tower of the Damned, The Upper Reaches, Layer 3+
Frost has a
lot
of Haste with its cooldowns running - stacking your own
时间扭曲
with someone else's and
冰冷血脉
can easily hit 90%+. For that reason, this legendary can easily cause you to exceed the GCD cap. It's also annoying to use because it means you want to save Time Warp for your own use, rather than being able to use it for the group. If you don't have other players who can cast the buff, this Legendary is useless.
Verdict
: Theoretically a good single-target and cleave legendary, but in practice annoying to use and doesn't play to Frost's strengths.
恐怖冰锥
Available Slots
: Head, Shoulder, Neck
Crafting Preference
: Neck
Source
: PvP vendor
This is an amazing Legendary in solo content like Torghast, as we can benefit from
碎冰
for the full duration of
冰霜新星
. Pairs well with the
寒冰结界
talent.
Verdict
: Great for solo play, terrible otherwise.
New Covenant Legendaries
Venthyr
堕落欢愉
Available Slots
: Legs, Feet
Crafting Preference
: Legs
Consuming
冰冷智慧
, a
火焰冲击
charge,
节能施法
reduces
折磨之镜
cooldown by 3 sec. If
折磨之镜
is dispelled the cooldown is reduced by 45 sec. Brings
折磨之镜
down to a 1 minute cooldown on average.
Verdict
: Mediocre at best, not recommended for crafting.
Necrolord
死亡深渊
Available Slots
: Shoulder, Feet, Wrist
Crafting Preference
: Feet
Your
火球术
,
寒冰箭
, and
奥术冲击
have a chance to grant
死神之躯
for 8 sec. While in the form of a skeletal mage the spell damage granted is increased by 1% for each enemy hit by Fireball, Frostbolt, and Arcane Blast. This can be stacked extremely high for some fun gameplay in cleave, but it's very niche.
Verdict
: Mediocre at best, not recommended for crafting.
Night Fae
法夜之心
Available Slots
: Shoulder, Feet, Wrist
Crafting Preference
: Feet
变易幻能
can be channeled while moving. Each enemy hit by Shifting Power grants you 1% Critical Strike and Haste, up to 10% for 10 sec. Mostly this would be crafted for the case-while-moving aspect.
Verdict
: Mediocre at best, not recommended for crafting.
Kyrian
谐律回响
Available Slots
: Head, Waist, Back
Crafting Preference
: Back
Damage dealt to enemies affected by
璀璨火花
's vulnerability echo to 4 nearby enemies for 25% of the damage dealt. Only really useful in cleave.
Verdict
: Mediocre at best, not recommended for crafting.
PvP option for Frost Mages
三一结界
Available Slots
: Neck, Chest
Crafting Preference
: Neck
Buffs
寒冰护体
to have all the barrier effects and increased absorption. Neat idea but offers no offensive capabilities. Very strong for PvP.
Verdict
: Defensive options for a pure DPS class don't make much sense. I thought we learned our lesson about this in Legion but I guess not. Even so, its strong for PvP.
What are Legendaries in Shadowlands?
Legendaries are special pieces of armor that players can wear to enhance their powers. In Shadowlands, players are able to create their own legendaries, by selecting between legendary powers and combining it with crafted pieces of gear.

How to Craft Frost Mage Legendaries in Shadowlands
There are many steps to craft a Legendary Item in Shadowlands. To learn the whole process, please check out our guide below.
Crafting Legendaries in Shadowlands
Frost Mage Legendary Simulations
Here is a preview of how Frost Mage Legendary Powers stack against each other in terms of raw power, powered by
Bloodmallet
. Make sure to check above for an actual analysis about how strong each Legendary is.
Shadowlands Legendary System
Max-level players in Shadowlands can craft legendaries at the Runecarver, unlocked through Torghast progression. These crafted legendaries can then be customized through legendary powers, which are unlocked by collecting Memory of the Runecarver recipes from Shadowlands content such as reputation, Mythic+, and Raiding.
Legendary powers significantly modify an aspect of your character's gameplay, but you must choose wisely as you can only equip one legendary at a time and each legendary requires Soul Ash and Soul Cinders to craft and upgrade.
This page will explain which legendary powers are best for various types of Shadowlands content like Raiding and Mythic+, but if you need an overview of this new Shadowlands system, we have several additional guides:
Shadowlands Legendary Overview details the Runecarver, Legendary Powers, and how to find recipes.
Crafting Legendaries explains how to create your Shadowlands legendary gear and details all of the materials needed to craft a base piece, as well as how to unlock recipes for higher ranks.
Memory of the Runecarver Sources explains how to find every Legendary Power recipe in Shadowlands.
Soul Ash and Soul Cinders Overview details how to obtain this important currency, used to craft and upgrade legendaries.

I'm really confused. In the
Shadowlands Systems > 06. Best Legendaries > Best Frost Mage Legendaries > What Legendaries to Craft as a Frost Mage
you say this about Freezing Winds:
Verdict: A reasonably versatile Legendary for single-target and AoE, but not strong enough at either to justify being a first craft.
But down in the
Max-Level Information > 06. Gear > Recommended Frost Mage Gear > Legendaries
you say this about Freezing Winds:
However, Freezing Winds (source: Sire Denathrius, Castle Nathria) is more versatile than either and should be your first craft, as well as your go-to Mythic+ legendary item.
So what is the actual recommendation?

erehwonlost
Hey Malon thanks for putting this together - can you add where those drop from as well? You mention Torghast for example but not which wing.

"Triune Ward: Not a DPS power. Avoid for now."
Undoubtedly great advice for those players and raid teams where all mechanics are properly executed from the first time, and all avoidable damage is always avoided.
Meanwhile back in Legion, on my middle-of-the-road heroic raid team, the raid leader would not infrequently tell everyone to equip their survival legendaries and suddenly that would be the attempt that the boss would go down on for the first time.
This is one of the things that frustrates me about sims, and player reactions to them; they live in a world where mechanics and damage don't matter, while back in the real game, they very much do.

I noticed you didn't mention the Temporal Warp Legendary at all. Any particular reason?
评论来自
Beathelan
A good option on Fortified weeks if you need it, but your boss damage will suffer. It doesn't have any effect past five targets though, so isn't well-suited to massive pulls.
What would happen if you were running Splitting Ice and Glacial fragments together? Do both lances explode, potentially hitting up to 10 total targets?
评论来自
markalodon
thanks for the write up -
it says
#1 Craft Glacial Fragments or Slick Ice at rank 1
#2 Craft the other Legendary at rank 1
but both of these are recommended to be crafted on legs. there seems to be a pretty good waist that drops from Nathria but not so much for a back piece, so would the optimal crafting route be Glacial Fragments on back, Slick Ice on legs, and then go for the waist from the raid?

Cecilybaby
Can you use fevered incantation as a frost mage?
评论来自
orca2017
Im on layer 6 cold interstia and neither slick ice nor glacial framents had dropped yet..is it in layer 8?
评论来自
BrightBrown
I've used Slick & Fragments, but I think I'll get better overall with the newly buffed Freezing Winds. BUT no idea why the recommendation is head or hands, legs still has the best total amount of secondary stats... so why not put Freezing Winds on legs (I dislike swapping stuff arounds honestly)? Seems to be no speculation a >1 legendary for 9.1, speculation it may be 9.2, and THAT is a long, long ways off.
评论来自
basementcat13
My Necro mage, who already runs the Necro Legendary, is very excited to use Slick Ice at the same time. Pew pew pew!

In the section on covenant powers, you should probably now indicate that they can go on any slot as Unity. For example, Sinful Delight says only legs and feet, which was apt and is still possible, but someone who really wanted it even as their only leggo could effectively get it on all of the pieces that Unity can go on.

In case you are wondering:
YES
, as of now
狂热法咒的回忆
works for Frost mages as well.
I validated this
due to sloppy gear change
while doing structured basic research.
In
Blootmallet's Charts
, this legendary not just performs second best in the single target configuration, but also reasonable 4th place in what they are calling "hectic add cleave" (great name for a guild btw.).
I could imagine that with sofcap crit of 33% and
彗星风暴
chosen, this provides some options:
A
冰冷智慧
-procced
冰风暴
sets up
深冬之寒
, then
彗星风暴
critically hits seven times ("affected by, but not consuming"), giving the next two
冰枪术
s a significant bump up the damage ladder.
I don't know whether that playstyle is calculated in the Patchwerk sim model.
