Yesterday, Nethaera (Blizzard poster) informed mages that some changes were coming to Frost Nova. Today, Blizzard Poster Vaneras on the WoW Europe forums brought some clarification to those changes.
The chance Frozen effects are broken when the target is critically struck by a spell has been increased. This should only affect Frozen targets that are hit with a spell crit; the Frozen effect can be broken by a spell crit from any player, not just the player that created the Frozen effect. However, please keep in mind that this is already how the game currently works. Only the chance of the Frozen effect being broken has been changed; the types of attacks that can break the Frozen effect will not be changed.
It is still possible to score Frostbolt followed by Ice Lance on a frozen target and get double crit, however the situation will still be closely monitored and may be adjusted in the future.
