TBC Classic Frost Mage Aldor or Scryer

We recommend going Scryers as a Frost Mage in TBC Classic. The Aldor shoulder enchant,
Greater Inscription of Discipline
, is slightly better than the Scryer
Greater Inscription of the Orb
. However, Scryer's has the advantage of providing one of the best trinkets in Phase 1, the
Scryer's Bloodgem
and a powerful ring, the
Seer's Signet
.
