Last wiki revision 2023-09-09
Frozen Orb is a Frost mage ability. It launches an orb forward that pulses AoE damage and a snare effect for 15 seconds. The orb stops moving once it damages an enemy.

- Talents
- Fingers of Frost
- Everlasting Frost
- Ice Caller
- Freezing Rain
- Cold Front
- Freezing Winds
- PvP talents
- Concentrated Coolness
- Damaging a critter will not cause Frozen Orb to stop moving.
- Despite what the tooltip says, Frozen Orb cannot grant Fingers of Frost unless the Fingers of Frost talent is also taken. This only matters while leveling, since it isn't possible to move on to row 5 of the Frost tree without taking Fingers of Frost.
- This ability has been mentioned in multiple April Fools' Day patch notes:
- 7.8.0 Patch Notes: "The Artifact Traits 'The Storm Rages' and 'Let It Go' have been removed from the game, along with the Frozen Orb ability, because seriously that movie came out like 4 years ago and we're tired of hearing about it EVERY SINGLE DAY."
- Patch 9.4.0: "Frozen Orb now afflicts you with Insomnia if you stay up late pondering it."
