I would like to add to this suggestion since the original one may not have been elaborate enough. I think, for a torrent re-work, a couple of things should take place. Instead of clicking to release the torrent you should release shift. When you release shift, the torrent stream would take off as normal and when you left-click it would form an ice-sphere as normal (Or do the Torrent Ice suggestion that was suggested a while back.) And while charging Torrent (while it's circling around you) while your holding shift, if you left-click these little ice shards that were mentioned above would shoot from the stream. Similar to the projectile version of JedCore's Ice Claws (If any of you have seen Ice Claws being shot before.)
So as a summary in case none of that made sense..... This is what torrent would do:
Torrent: To use this ability you left click a water source then hold shift. A stream of water will then start circling around you and you will have the option to do 1 of two things:
- Release shift which will send the stream flowing towards where ever your cursor is; then left-click to form a sphere of ice around your opponent.
- Left-click the stream circling around you to shoot small shards of ice in the direction that you're looking.
Here is a visual of the ice-shard that
