frostmaw is just ♥♥♥♥

you lose a third of your health from a single ice bolt and you're CC'd for like five entire seconds and randomly you'll just get an extra second or two added on after the initial CC breaks. it's just terrible.

Tons of creatures have ultra hard hitting attacks, so just don't get hit bro. Some fights go much smoother with a shield skill. It's an extra escape and protects healing potions from breaking on damage, giving even more survival options.

Use dual shields for this boss: Unholy Ward + Frost shield from Vincent or Blood Rite.

Honestly, the bosses just get ridiculous after level 70. For this boss, I highly recommend the veil of chaos, it gives you two dashes to get away, you need that extra mobility. Blood fountain is a must for every boss, it keeps you healed so you can tank some of those ridiculous mechanics that are hard to dodge. Lastly, for my primary spell ability, I usually use bone explosion or death knight, death knight if the boss is easy to distract because it'll summon an additional mob, or bone explosion if there are mob summons. Regardless, it took me an average of 5-10 tries on a boss after level 70. Frostmaw took me maybe 3 tries this time around, it's a huge pain in the ass.

LOL, no.

Blood fountain is a losing move because it is strictly inferior to a Block/Counter/Barrier type skill.

Almost any damage you take will need multiple blood fountains to heal back, and by then the damage compounds.

If you really must heal then use Veil of Blood + Crossbow/Pistols for safer heals.

Veil of Blood scales off max HP, while Blood Fountain just scales off Spell Power.

There is no problem just playing 2 defensive skills in almost any boss fight, the only true exception is Voltatia.

One thing I will say is Thanks for up-ing the Mobs level in the area. Now everytime I fight Him and use Slashers and go camo he turns his attention to Every animal in the area.

When it comes to this guy I just go Slashers. I use one counter move and one other spell. With the Slashers I can I-Frame through some of his moves and counter the Big freeze moves. When he does his Blizzard move I just Dash through the first move and Camo the second. Large portion of that Blizzard is just him skiing around and wasted waiting to attack me.

Again, for whatever reason he's more fixated on killing the wild life when I go camo. Maybe give it a try around some Bears and wolfs. Mooses run off and can reset the fight.
