The AWSOME FROSTRESISTANCE THREAD!
You know you need them, even though you hate to spend all that time farming the reagents or money for it.
All together, (with a frostwolf cloak) this will be 336 frost resistance,
so start farming.
Tell me if you're a crafter for one of these!
[wowitem]Itemname[/wowitem] (Frost resistance)
Cloakenchant: Enchanting
[wowitem]Formula: Enchant Cloak - Superior Frost Resistance[/wowitem] (20)
Requiers: 6x [wowitem]Infinite Dust[/wowitem] 3x [wowitem]Greater Cosmic Essence[/wowitem] 1x [wowitem]Eternal Fire[/wowitem]
Sort of idiotic to make a lvl 80 enchant when there is no wotlk frostresistance cloak yet.
If you want, you can use the enchant on [wowitem]Syrannis' Mystic Sheen[/wowitem] (12), (or one of the frostwolf cloaks if you're lazy (5)) .
Crafters:
Headenchant: Reputation
[wowitem]Arcanum of the Frosty Soul[/wowitem] (25)

At honored you also get to buy some nice shoulderenchants from them.

Nice list, thanks.
Question:
How does frost resistance work now with all the new changes to hit etc. Frost has always been binary.. So either you fully resist or take a full blow.
Is frost still binary?
Oh.. and am I right if my calcs conclude that you need 415 resist to get max possible dmg reduction from spells (cap 75% -> myResist/resistanceNeededForLevel83 *75 -> 415/415*75)?
-
Think it depends on the fight...
This is for Sapphiron, and the aura ticks are partially resisted -- I resist about 25% with the paladin aura/totem.
I imagine if you were wearing FrR to mitigate some kind of frostbolt-main-attack from a boss, then it might be a binary thing...
From Hydross, the attacks were partially resisted, depending on how good your gear was.
re: FrR... We'll try Sapphiron tonight without it. I'm sure the Nihilum/SK guys did it without FrR, so it's possible...

I can craft Glacial Slippers and Glacial Waistband.

And Glacial Robe.

We killed Sapphiron last night without any FrR, didn't really have any issues with it, so definately easily doable without anything but frost res aura.
