I am a lvl 33 Ice Blaster and lightning fast is totaly capable of doing what he says at lvl 30.
If you want to keep the mobs together all it takes is Shiver and the mobs will take 75-100% of the damage of Ice Storm after they are hit with Frost breath. Also with Hasten the wait from Frost Breath is not that long after you cast Shiver and then Ice Storm. So if you are AOEing anything yellow and above oh well just hit them again with frost breath. Frost breath is a cone that gets wider as it extends out farther. The trick is first to extend it with enhancements and then stand as far back as you can and center yourself on the most distant bad guy. If you do this the cone width will actually be as wide and a lot longer then other blasters AOE that explode in a circle such as fire. Stealth also helps a ton here so you can sneak up and get positioned just right.
Also another thing I have discoveredÂ… The larger the group of bad guys there are the easier it is to keep them together with shiver. This is because the Ice Storm has them bumping into one another trying to run away and they basically ping pong off each other slowed by shiver and in the end they are effectively not going anywhere and taking full damage from Ice storm and the caster has no worries of taking damage in return.
I am sorry but an Ice/Ice blaster that knows how to AOE has to chuckle at the other blasters in this forum claim to be the best AOE blasters there are. There is a lot more to AOEing then raw damage and when you play an Ice/Ice blaster you start to understand that.
Edit - Just saw lightning fast is Ice/Device so going to retract the Shiver comment of mine I thought he was Ice/Ice. Still very doable on his part with Ice Storm Frostbreath just a little harder to keep them together over time.
