The main facet of this build is to use with three clones up as often as possible, to apply as much confusion as possible, in combination with scepter, torch and pistol skills. Three clones will reduce its cooldown to 10 seconds, which will be further reduced by alacrity, allowing you to shatter every 6-7 seconds or so.

If you are at 3 clones and is on cooldown, use instead.
Weapon swap off cooldown to trigger . If there are adds around, try to stand in your target's hitbox so that the extra snowballs hit them as well.
Hold on to and your next phantasm as you approach your second so that you can use them twice. You should also be able to fit → inside as well.
If you can block an attack with it will generate an additional clone. This is particularly useful before so that you have longer inside. Don't delay your rotation too much trying to get a block though.
