Buffs (1)
Developers’ notes: Because Fingers of Frost is applied through Frozen Orb and would be consumed quickly by it, Frozen Orb does not consume or benefit from Fingers of Frost.
Presence of Mind now causes Chronostatic Preservation to instantly cast the Healing Portion of the spell, even if you did not have the buff active.
Presence of Mind is not consumed if Chronostatic Preservation's buff was already present and a release of the heal is used. This means you can Chronostatic Preservation pre-cast, use PoM, and release two Chronostatic Preservation casts back-to-back.- Ice Armor and Frost Armor will no longer proc Brain Freeze.
- Brain Freeze and Hot Streak will no longer overwrite each other and can now both exist on a character at the same time.
- Your Arcane Missiles will correctly have their cost reduced when both Missile Barrage and Brain Freeze are active at the same time.
- If Hot Streak is gained while already casting Pyroblast, it will no longer be consumed. This can result in two free Pyroblasts back-to-back.
- Frozen Orb will no longer despawn early if cast near a wall.
Arcane Barrage will now correctly interact with the Shatter talent when your target is Frozen or you have Fingers of Frost active.- Frozen Orb will now benefit from the Shatter talent if the target is Frozen.

Developers’ notes: Unlike in Cataclysm, Nourish in SoD has more upsides to it than just the mana cost - like the casting speed. So it makes sense for it to benefit from Clearcasting and to consume it as well.
