This may be an intended change but ice lance does not do double damage to frozen targets when you are fire specced. Can anyone confirm this, or tell me whether its intended or not?
Why would it? you need to spec in frost for taht double dmg.
lol... its sad your horde :( In case you did not know, being specced fire, does not mean IL does double dmg. You need to be frost..

IL has always done double damage to Frozen targets.

Read the tooltip. Also, I still get double damage when I am arcane, but for some reason it won't work as fire.
I can confirm this.
I was trying out my new specs (one fire spec, one frost spec) on the training dummies in SMC when I noticed that Ice Lance did the same damage in my fire spec regardless of whether the target was nova'd or not.
Ice Lance has always done extra damage to frozen targets, regardless of your spec.
It is a bug. Have a look at the bug forums and see if the issue has already been acknowledged; if it hasn't bring it up there.
I can confirm this as well
People are confusing the crit multiplier in frost with double damage
IL (unless it was changed) has ALWAYS done double damage on frozen targets, the frost talent you are thinking of is the 3x crit multiplication on frozen targets.
Two totally different things.
I noticed this as well. The frost mastery is an extra modifier vs frozen targets, but it seems that without that mastery, the base bonus of Ice Lance is not being multiplied in.

Indeed, with idiots like you around it is sad. I won't even bother going into the differences between "your" and "you're". Ice Lance has ALWAYS done increased damage against Frozen targets, regardless of spec. That has not changed except perhaps by a bug. Frost Mastery will boost that even more and likely create an auto-crit situation (with 33.4% crit) but the double damage has nothing to do with spec.
