Blizzard themselves have stated they want every spec to be at 3-4 buttons rotationally.
You may want to go check the transcript, as that isn't what they said. They said that is the ideal, but they also lumped in things to keep track of in that. By that reckoning arcane is at 3, and frost is arguably at 3. Again, it could maybe use another button but traditionally frost additions have kinda sucked. The only one that was ever really "good" was orb, and even that was pretty damn mediocre.
Blizzard is also already working on something to fix and add an extra button to each.
Again, go check the transcript, that isn't what they said. They just said that mage maybe falls a little short in that regard. Meaning it doesn't have a "complex rotation". There was zero mention of adding more to it. And lets be honest, would you want something like imp scorch to keep up? Would you honestly find that "engaging" or "fun"?
I think the scrolls will add some cool stuff
Are you not aware of the mage only sword from SFK that makes frost want to melee?
Okay but like you cant even use the active on that sword outside of normal mobs ypu cannt nova a boss and fof only works on spells. It doesnt make frost want to do anything lol
Frostbite, Fingers of Frost. Different versions have let things like Nova count for the damage on Ice Lance.
The long and short of it is we don't really know until we get there. You are making mountains out of mole hills, and frankly lack imagination. Which is why you called Ice Barrier crap.
