Well I posted it on the Dark Matters Forum and I thought I would share it with my friends here in D.T. as well enjoy........
*Note* If you have set your settings file to let you choose your skills This is how i have done it.
Skills
Lvl 1. Meditation & Magic Lore- Keep max on meditation magic lore 3/4 of lvl for dmg
Lvl 3. Earth Magic.- This is a must have in this build for Cast and regen times on your spells max out as soon as posible
Lvl 6. Agility.-this will help your defence and attack (for the times you absolutly have to)
Lvl 12. this will be your free skill i sugjest a weapon lore here
lvl 20. Constitution.- for obvious reasons.
Lvl 30. Riding.- A battle mages best friend is his horse and its nice to have the best horse
Lvl 50. Parrying.- You'll need all the defence you can get.
Spells
Meteor Storm
Ring of Ice/Fire-spiral, or Cirle of Fear (your choice my personal opinion though is ring of ice to slow them dirty buggers down so you can pound them to dust!)
StoneSkin
FlameSkin
Ghost Meadow
* For a leach shield you might choose Whirl-wind
Attributes
Forever mental regen- some might say to take Phys regen for the first 10 lvls
but imo it takes away from your spells and you need to get the time's down fast for Ms
Gear
Try to find n e thing with + to spells, + to skills and regen to spells for they will help in making your mage a show stopper and make the baddies shake with fear. The more bonuses you have the better your chances will be later on. A mix of sets and uniques will help with this as well.
Life leach is a big one you want as much as you can handle so socketed gear is a must as we all know.
