The Frostbolt glyph is a brutal joke on us.
To keep my mind sane, I just refuse to admit it exists. And that it will probably still exist when I hit lvl 80.
I don’t even blog about it, knowing that it must be gone before it affects any of us. That, or frost is screwed for raiding.

The duration will just be reduced to zero, so you will still be able to proc Brain Freeze or Fingers of Frost. More on that subject in this WotLK Beta Thread.

So Brain Freeze procs only on chill effects? How is this affected by a glyphed frostbolt? Does the glyph remove the chill effect or simply reduce the duration to zero? If I remember the tooltip correctly it removes it, so will this no longer proc free fireballs?

Haha yea I agree with you. The one class which is giving me the most problems in PvP happens to be Arcane Mages. When left alone, they can do some serious damage.

They nerfed the wrong tree for PvP though.

Blizzard stated that they also intend to bring down deep arcane and Arcane Barrage to a moderate level, but as this will not happen before WotLK we still have to deal one more week with the ‘ololol fizzzz! you’re dead!’ kiddies in PvP
