What to clear with Blizzard

Include champion and unique packs, plus bosses on the selected route. Their drop pools differ; use the item finder for a particular item rather than assuming every enemy can drop it.

Follow the named targets in route order and clear nearby packs your attacks can hurt. Optional targets can be skipped.
