The front bar skills
The front bar is your main damage bar, with force pulse being your spamable dmg action in between light and heavy attacks.
Blue Betty pet increases your spell dmg, it also further increases your dmg from the animal companions passive. Arctic blast is very useful when you're in trouble as it gives you a small self heal which can take some pressure away from your healer.

The back bar skills
I always like having double bar Inner light as it adds some nice extra magicka. Elemental drain is this builds flex slot so feel free to change it with an ability that works for you. I like to swap it out with Swarm for extra DoT (it's mainly there for magicka steal). Winters revenge is a great crowd control AOE attack, always pair it with Wall of Elements (try to keep Wall of Elements down as much as possible).

**if you don't have the Winterborn set yet you can replace it with Julianos instead.
*** DO NOT take the tri focus passive from destruction staff skill line as it pulls aggro from the group's tank.
