for me i think the biggest thing i desire is a new (and good i might add) frost dps monster helm.


It looks to me like it may be possible this patch. The monster helmet's creature origins will be


A hadolid for Graven Deep


(probably)A white bear for Earthen Root Enclave



Why do i say this?

well, it looks fairly obvious that the bug-looking helm will be a hadolid since they're mysterious and were bound to get some more lore.

the white bear on the other helm isn't a style we've seen before, there's similar looking stuff, but this definitely seems unique to me what's more is that it's a single shoulderpiece which is usually preserved for monster helmets or styles unique to events. what's interesting to me is that this is a white, or very light grey bear. systres bears are brown, and as it'll be coming from earthen root enclave, a druid sanctuary, it'll probably be magical in some way. white bears are usually associated with polar bears that live up in the ice floes of the arctic circle, so how a bear of this colour making it's way to the tropical systres isles is kinda weird, but hey, if it's a frost damage related helmet i won't complain
But i really could just be looking too much into this.

it's just that we only have 2 frost related monster helmets, and we only recieved the 2nd one at the start of the year. Nunatak has pretty big issues if looked at from a frost dps perspective, as the major brittle uptime is incredibly low, it does low damage, and it's 1pc bonus is absolutely awful as armor. it's definitely something more tank-related than anything. this is why i hope this new helmet is powerful for frost dps.
Personally, I think that some type of effect that increases the power of applying chilled as much as possible, ie, increasing the power of the direct damage portion of chilled (as opposed to the current set/passive bonuses that just reward consistent uptimes within 4 seconds) would be the greatest possible thing to recieve. This would significantly boost the power of frost dps warden, while also incentivising using the use of more frost damage in the kit.

pairing this with positive changes to frost destruction staff skills would significantly increase the dps of frost dps builds, perhaps to the point where they may no longer be considered a joke by endgame pvers.
