  1. Dabbled in 2h frost at the beginning of SL. And am now fully frost 2h obliterate build. Love it, the smoothness of the rotation , and how fast and fun it is. Great guide

  2. Hey Biceps, I have a few very specific (and probably minor) questions about the dual wield rotation, mostly a couple edge cases but also to maximize the Remorseless Winter damage. I've been wondering these for a while so hopefully you know the answer to them, but I guess "that's not important enough to focus on it" is also a valid answer.

    1 – What's the priority for procs? If I get both KM and Rime am I right in using Rime first if it doesn't waste resources? And does any proc take priority over RW (or the other way around, should I hold a proc for a couple GCDs while RW comes off CD, to benefit Gathering Storm?)

    2 – If Remorseless Winter's cooldown gets "desynced" with my Pillar, what's the best course of action? Is it reasonable to wait an extra 5 seconds before casting Pillar while RW comes off cooldown?
    2.1- IIRC I shouldn't cast RW during Pillar, as it's a "wasted" GCD during the burst window. So if I don't cast it before Pillar its CD will be off by 8 seconds. After that happens, should I delay a RW cast so that the next one can benefit from Pillar/ERW?

    3 – How big is Chaos Bane for the overall damage? Is it worth holding PoF if I'm at 14 stacks, to get the maximum benefit?
