Usage Notes
While quite effective, this skill appears to have a very limited range, possibly 20 feet or less. For an Elementalist who is able to keep good casting distance depending on the scenario, this skill may only take up valuable space on the skill bar. If the situation demands a lot of close mob contact, Frozen Burst may be just what you need to deal a good amount of cold damage while simultaneously slowing your foes down. It should be noted that this skill has usage in a build that requires a target to stay close to the caster for another effect to continue to work (ex.: Symbol of Wrath) or to keep a target in a certain area longer (ex.: Well of Suffering). This may have more practical usages in PvP as opposed to PvE as not many monsters try to avoid contact with a player. As this is a Point Blank attack, having the necessary defences (appropiate to the damage types) would be a key point to making something like this work.
