A bit of the game play…

The main idea is to clear as many enemies as you can with the blizzard and / or have it running on top of you and enemies and then burst them all or single target elite with the shards. Alternate between the two skills as needed.

You can use this to clear a room without entering it.

You can do events by flooding he room with blizzards.

You can kite with blizzard and burst with ice shards.

Here are some video with these situations.
