For Frost Mage, your eyes are on your Icy Veins cooldown and proc state during the Shatter chain — the audio alarm gives you a positioning cue without breaking concentration mid-Glacial Spike cast. Install knowing it's significantly more limited than pre-Midnight — it covers specific tracked boss mechanics only, not general ground effects.

Per-spell breakdown across the fight. Low Icy Veins window contribution means you're either losing casts or dropping proc chains — Glacial Spike share in single-target shows whether you're charging and timing it correctly.

Cast bars and debuff icons on enemy nameplates. The key use is seeing Winter's Chill active on targets — the Flurry debuff that makes Ice Lance shatter for massive crits — and spotting interruptible casts for Counterspell.

Visual and audio alert when an enemy targets you with a dangerous cast. Your cue to Ice Block a mechanic, Shimmer out of a targeting circle, or barrier an incoming hit — especially useful when your eyes are on the Brain Freeze proc chain.

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — Bloodlust tracking is the main use for Frost Mage. Hold Icy Veins for the lust window rather than burning it on a filler pull, and cover interrupt gaps with Counterspell rather than doubling up.

Configurable timers for your major cooldowns. Tracks Icy Veins (2 min) and Frozen Orb (1 min) so you enter the burst window with both aligned — Orb on open generates extra FoF procs and entering Icy Veins without it is a significant loss.

BetterBlizzFrames keeps the default UI intact while adding the things it lacks: castbars on your target and focus frames, class color health bars, and absorb tracking. For Frost Mage, a target castbar lets you see when a dangerous spell is being cast in M+ — giving you the cue to use Counterspell or Spellsteal. A one-addon upgrade with no layout overhead.

Dominos gives you full control over action bar layout. For Frost Mage, a dedicated utility bar keeps Counterspell, Ice Block, Blink, Shimmer, Spellsteal, and Alter Time at consistent accessible positions so your main bar stays focused on the Shatter proc chain.
