Affects	[Icy Touch], [Howling Blast] and [Frost Strike]

Glacier Rot is a death knight talent located on tier 1 of the Frost tree. It causes enemies who are afflicted by any disease to take up to 20% additional damage from your frost-based abilities. Since you always want to keep [Frost Fever] up on any target you are fighting, this generally translates into a 20% damage increase for these abilities.

Notes

The damage increase stacks with the extra damage done to diseased targets from the [Tundra Stalker] talent.

Tips and tactics

Together with the [Tundra Stalker] talent and [Glyph of Howling Blast], this talent greatly increases the damage done by [Howling Blast] in any extended AoE situations. The ability to have Howling Blast increase the damage of subsequent Howling Blasts by applying a disease to all targets is one of the reasons why Frost tanks excel at AoE tanking.
As both [Frost Strike] and Howling Blast are gained from talents deeper in the tree, this talent is virtually useless for anyone not speccing deep into the frost tree.
