Frost Mage - Warden Build PvE - ESO

PvE setup: Use Orders Wrath if you don't have Whorl yet, swap colossus out for Ice Comet in non-trial activities.

Rotation:

1. Pre-Buff: Cast Recuperative Treatise (Front Bar), swap to Back Bar, cast Grave Lord's Sacrifice, and wait 2.5 seconds for a corpse to drop.
2. Engage: Light Attack ➔ Unnerving Boneyard (consumes the corpse for extra damage).
3. Layer DoTs: Light Attack ➔ Winter's Revenge ➔ Light Attack ➔ Blockade of Frost.
4. Swap & Ultimate: Swap to Front Bar ➔ Light Attack ➔ Glacial Colossus (applies +10% Major Vulnerability).
5. Front Bar Burst: Light Attack ➔ Chilling Explosion ➔ Light Attack ➔ Tentacular Dread.
6. Sustain Filler: Light Attack ➔ Destructive Reach (repeat until back-bar timers have 1 second remaining).
7. Reset Loop: Swap to Back Bar, re-cast Grave Lord's Sacrifice, and repeat from Step 2.

PvP setup:

1. Pre-Buff: Cast Ice Fortress and Grave Lord's Sacrifice (Back Bar) to maximize your defensive armor, generate a corpse, and trigger your 20-second Rallying Cry damage buff.
2. Lock Down: Swap to Front Bar and cast Chilling Explosion to root the enemy player in place so they cannot roll-dodge.
3. The Ultimate Drop: Instantly fire your Ice Comet ultimate directly onto the rooted target.
4. The Synchronized Burst: Cast Destructive Reach while the meteor is mid-air so both heavy projectiles impact the player at the exact same millisecond.
5. The Finisher: Smash them with Tentacular Dread to wipe out their remaining health while they are stuck in the meteor's knockdown animation.
6. Defensive Reset: If they survive or you take heavy counter-damage, pop your Immovability Potion, swap to Back Bar, and hit Arctic Blast for an instant burst heal and local area stun.
