The '''Molten Fields''' is a vast field within the [[Firelands (instance)|Firelands]] just pass the [[Flamebreach]]. This is generally where [[Shannox]] is fought.

__TOC__
 
  +
During the daily quest [[Quest:Fire in the Skies]], players fly over this area on a [[Trained Fire Hawk]] bombing the [[flamewaker]]s and [[molten giant]]s in the area. On different days either [[Thrall's Thrashers]] or [[Wrynn's Raiders]] are seen here preparing to attack.

'''Deep Freeze''' is the 51-point talent in the Frost tree for Mages. It was introduced in Patch [[3.0.2]].

−
Deep Freeze causes a target to be considered [[Freeze|Frozen]] for the duration of its stun, turning it into yet another tool for Frost mages to perform Shatter Combos with. It is, however, purely a [[PvP]] talent, being useless in a [[PvE]] setting for doing no damage and providing no lasting crowd control, which leads raiding Frost Mages to often leave it behind and spend the talent point elsewhere.

==Tips and Tactics==
 
−
This spell is best used at the very end of a [[Frost Nova]] to maximize the opponent's [[Shatter]]-able and stationary time and minimize the risk of them trinketing the effect right away. It can be somewhat reliably used as an [[interrupt]] when coupled with [[Fingers of Frost]].
 
−  
−
Note, however that this spell is '''not''' off the [[GCD]]. It is subject to [[diminishing returns]] in the ''controlled stun'' category (such as [[Gouge]], [[Improved Hamstring]]) and [[Frost Nova]], [[Frostbite]] and [[Shattered Barrier]] will not diminish the results of Deep Freeze.
 
−  
−
Using this spell in PvE against [[trash mob]]s is almost always subpar compared to dealing direct damage, as Deep Freeze does no damage of its own to compensate for the lost 1.5 seconds of [[Global Cooldown]], aside from being too short to count as a meaningful form of [[crowd control]].
