[3.5] Winter Orb elementalist league starter, SSF/beginner-friendly

HI i'm a total no0b, I see this is 3.5 and not 3.6 (i'm guessing this is a patch old) Is this guide still viable and cheep? I looked at a bunch of videos and this one had, I think, the coolest looking skills.
I made a character a few years ago with out looking at any guides and it was.... rough (I was also an idiot trying to stack shields). I"m not looking for super op, just viable and cool looking.
