I'm not so sure. 42% co-efficient of around 400 SP in full Rank13 gear = about 170 more damage and from 300-400% = about 500 dps currently x 25% = 625 + 170 = 795. Thats the same damage we deal with Arcane Barrage which is guaranteed every 3 seconds. Ice lance is never guaranteed to hit its potential damage even when fingers of frost proc. The one viable thing about the buff only works in PvE which is so damn typical Blizzard. Mage are so damn bad in PvP and when we finally get buffed, its for PvE.
why ice lance buff is non-player specific Mages is legit the worst in PVP they legit need this kind of buff to maybe become bottom tier from "unplayable" and they are unplayable becuase basically all have instant cast with low CDs that just 1-3 shots a mage while mages need to stand still for 2.5 sec. to do like half of that dmg
I know right. Take hunters as an example with their lock and load and now GUARANTEED when using a trap so they have 2 chimera shots instant cast every 6 seconds which crits for 2200 on tanky players and about 2700 on cloth. did they put a "only none-player specific" on lock and load? no. And why the heck is Zirene/Blizzard trying to make frost a PvE only specc?? We already have fire that will still deal more damage so all these pve andy´s will STILL play fire. Frost was the one hope we had for a buff in PvP and they had to make that PvE as well, you just can´t make this stuff up man...
The issue with Living bomb is that trash mobs doesn't stay alive long enough. It could be 6 seconds and 50% dmg..
Any way you can link the spreadsheet with all the (im assuming) sim results?
We may be able to actually pvp with these Icelance changes

Damn I coped
I wanted to stay frost but..no set bonuses for it makes me cringe
Legend, any thoughts on doing a mage healer video?
From what I'm hearing I jumped ship at the right time as far as SoD is concerned but still interesting to watch Kall and see what's up.
