How it Plays
Clearing Monsters:
Use Whirling Slash 2-3 times before Twister.
When you get Ice-Tipped Arrows, cast it before Twister. It converts the Physical Damage of Twister to Cold Damage, allowing it to Freeze and generate Chilled Ground via Frost Nexus.
You can also use Barrage to clear big packs.
Single Target:
Same as clear, but use War Banner, which gives 25% more attack damage, and increased attack speed.
You also have 
Freezing Mark for more Freeze Buildup and 30% of damage gained as cold.
You'll need to use 
Parry + Fangs of Frost on bosses to get Chilled Ground. When you get Ice-Tipped Arrows and Frost Nexus on Twister you can stop using Parry and Fangs of Frost.
Passive Bonuses

Go for 
Predatory Instinct on 
Amazon.
