Improved Frost Nova
Mage · Frost · Row 2 of 7 · 2 ranks
Improved Frost Nova sits in row 2 of the Mage Frost tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 2 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.
What Improved Frost Nova does at each rank
A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.
- Rank 1: Reduces the cooldown of your Frost Nova spell by 2 sec.
- Rank 2: Reduces the cooldown of your Frost Nova spell by 4 sec.
How to reach Improved Frost Nova
Row 2 opens after you spend 5 points in the earlier Frost rows. Level 15 is the earliest you can pick up Improved Frost Nova.
Is Improved Frost Nova worth the points?
Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
