Overview
This PVP Mage DPS build focuses on dealing high damage to targets while remaining very mobile and reasonably tanky thanks to 
Shell. This build also makes use of many instant cast skills to both kite and deal high damage, making it very dangerous when played well as its very hard to pin down. 
Slumber is the main CC ability and is one of the strongest skills in the game as it allows you to do a full rotation on a target before they can react. While this build does best in small scale PvP and 1vs1 duels, it can still perform well in larger PvP content with an aggressive playstyle.

Rotations
One-shot Rotation ↴
- This rotation relies on hitting enemies with Slumber before using
Arcane Circle to boost your 
Lightning Strike damage as they are still CC'd and you can channel the entire spell using the extra damage gained from Arcane Circle.
- Use
Blink next to make your 
Frostbolt cast instantly and Chill the target before using 
Firebolt 3 times then following-up with 
Combust for extra damage (This damage is also increased by 
Fuse). Get in close range and use 
Cone of Cold to refresh the Combust duration and deal even more damage while freezing the target which will allow you to channel a full cast of 
Chain Lightning and also trigger 
Shatter on the same target.
Initiation Freeze + DPS Rotation ↴
- This is the perfect rotation to pick kills quickly without them being able to react. Use Blink to make your Frostbolt cast instant before using Cone of Cold to freeze the target in place. Follow up with a full cast of Lightning Strike to also trigger Shatter for extra damage.
- Finish up the rotation with 3 Firebolts followed by Combust. Once done, you can transition into a Slumber if your target is still alive and you need to disengage.
