How This List is Worked Out
Rankings are derived by evaluating candidate equipment from client build 1.60.1.70685 against the Frost specialization's stat weights. For full methodology, formula derivations, and item budget data, visit our guide:
Read How BiS Works →Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Frost Mage BiS list scored?
Every item is scored from client item budgets (ItemSparse and RandPropPoints). Each stat point is weighted by its derived item-budget cost if it belongs to the Frost Mage stat group. Weapons for melee specializations are ranked strictly by weapon DPS first and stat score second.
Are raid items included in the Level 60 Pre-raid list?
No. The Pre-raid list contains only items obtainable outside of raid dungeons—including 5-man dungeons, reputation rewards, crafted recipes and quests. Raid drops appear in the "60 Raids" tab (raids open December 9).
Why does PvP mode change the list?
Equipment requiring PvP battleground honor ranks (such as Knight-Captain, Legionnaire, or High Warlord) is excluded in PvE mode. Toggling PvP mode includes PvP rank gear.
Can I customize the stat weights or swap items?
Yes! Clicking "Customize in the planner" opens this exact gear set in our interactive Gear Planner where you can tweak stat weights, swap individual slots, and share your custom build link.
