Key talent milestones

Ice Lance remains the level-20 unlock; Ice Shards then Shatter strengthen hits against frozen targets. This updated route starts with Improved Frostbolt instead of five early points in Elemental Precision.

When to change this route

Do not cancel a Frostbolt already being cast just to use Ice Lance. Finish the cast, then use the freeze window. This is a solo control route, not an optimized AoE grind.

Sources and Legacy points

The five possible extra Talented points are not included. Beta client tree 1.60.1.70170 checked on October 7 against the October 6 export; server tuning can still change effects.
