Seriously, spec Ice and Lightning. Get Spell Might and use Storm of the Century. Second best combo in the game.

At low levels start with Cone of cold+Stone fist combo, then take all ice & lighttnig spells.

What's the first, paralysis explosion or entropic death?

Also, to comment on everyone's opinion on ice + lightning, I think it just sort takes some of the fun out of the game because it is just too overkill.

But that's jst my opinion.

Inferno looks so cool. I love it. I'll take Inferno over Blizzard any day. it does a ton more damage, and with Wade's armor you don't have to worry about friendly fire

I use both cold and/or fire depending on the situation

I would get inferno, but i alredy have death cloud as my damaging AoE.
I guess I could use manual of focus, but then i wouldnt be able to do entropic death...

I just read a tooltip today that mentions something about lightning damage draining mana? If so thats a pretty hefty side effect in favor of lightning line.



My only mage PC took fire line specifically becuase I thought ice was overpowered and I wanted to give the game a more fair chance to beat me...

what you need is walking bomb, perfect for when the mob is at one spot.

Fire tree is completely useless. There are way better spells you can get. Ice tree is amazing for both damage and CC.

Ice is okay up until Level 9, then I think it's a good idea to switch to the fire tree.

Oh well, you are wrong.

Unless you're using Morrigan, whose robes have +cold damage, this isn't really true.  Flame Blast does more damage than Cone of Cold, Flaming Weapons does roughly twice the damage of Frost Weapons, Fireball is also a great crowd control spell with much longer range, allowing you to lead a fight with it.  Additionally, more enemies are resistant or immune to cold damage than fire damage.

The ice line is also very strong, and Winter's Grasp and Cone of Cold are great spells, but saying "fire is useless" and that ice is better in every way is just inaccurate.  I don't even know how you could try to defend a position like that.  I'd even say the only realm Ice is superior in is spell combos (Grease Fire is useless, Shatter and SotC are stupidly OP).  On their own, though, Ice really isn't better than Fire--I'd call it pretty close.

Last night I was playing with two mages in the party. This is entertaining. Both Anders and I have the cold line. Boss battles are relatively easy. I freeze the boss, then when it wears off, Anders freezes the boss. The poor guys barely got time to get out their evil laughs. Even with dragons, it keeps them still twice as long and long enough for the tank to do some serious damage without getting hit hard himself. It feels cheaty actually. Also, spell combinations are *really* easy to get off effectively; you just need to time the casting right, one after the other.

Earth is the best primal tree, if used properly.
