I noticed that every frost mage on the top of the world charts is using torrent of elements, but the simulator continues to recommend either crit or haste enchants. Even when I put in BiS gear or the same gear as the top charted people, it still recommends haste or crit.
I don’t quite understand why this is, are they using some kind of ‘cheese’ strategy that’s not normally doable? Or are they all using non optimized enchants (which I find hard to believe), or is it something else entirely?
All of the weapon enchants are very close in value for a frost mage – it will depend on your particular gear and stats which edges the other out, but ultimately you will see little to no difference by changing enchants. For example, I just used our default mythic-geared frost mage and tried each weapon enchant:
Very little difference either way. Could be that they prefer torrent of elements because when it triggers, it won’t mess with which reorigination array stat they are getting.
