Talents
Rime has one Talent I consider mandatory no matter the build: Winter's Embrace. A lot of your gameplay revolves around this Talent and maximizing your Winter Orbs spent in this window.

This build focuses on the strongest Talents with immediate impact and does not factor in your Legendary.
Avalanche and Coalescing Frost are consistently great AoE talent options that perform well for their purpose.
Burstbolter and Supreme Torrent will help boost your Anima generation.
Frostweaver's Wrath is a consistent Talent that affects both Single Target and AoE. Honestly you can pick any of the three 3-cost talents on this row.
Overall - consider this build path temporary.

This build I generally would not recommend until you have at least 10 Talent Points. Best paired with Drakesblood Tapestry but not required.
Avalanche is what you should take off if you seek more Single Target damage and replace it with Greater Glacial Blast + Wisdom Of The North/Magic Ward.
Tundra Guard is an optional talent but in my opinion you should rarely ever take this off in high end content.
Big shout-out to Toonic for cooking this build with me in DMs.

This build assumes you have the Legendary Skandi's Sabatons Of Endless Winter. You must also maximize the value from Chilling Finesse and Cascading Blitz. More info on this will be in the Playstyle & Rotation section of the guide.
Avalanche is what you should swap out if you seek more Single Target damage and replace it with Greater Glacial Blast + Supreme Torrent/Magic Ward.
Tundra Guard is an optional Talent but in my opinion you should rarely ever take this off in high end content.
