Torment the Weak is a Mage talent in the Arcane tree. It increases damage dealt by Mage [[Arcane] damage spells to targets under snare effects such as chills (like that of [Frostbolt] and [Cone of Cold]), the talent spell [Slow] or ASPD slows such as the warrior's [Thunder Clap].

Tips and tactics[]

This talent has great value for both Arcane and Frost in PvP. Fine-tuned Frost PvP builds sink 20 points in Arcane to pick up this, Improved Counterspell and Magic Absorption. It greatly increases the burst provided by Arcane Barrage and Frostbolt, the builds' main spells.

Tank Synergy[]

All tanking classes have some ability or talent that trigger Torment The Weak. For warriors it is [Thunder Clap], for paladins it is [Judgements of the Just], for druids it is [Infected Wounds] and for death knights [Frost Fever].

In PvE[]

In the PvE, this talent works fine with all encounters, currently. Mages receive bonus damage at all specs with 15 points in Arcane.
