I'm an Ice/Fire hybrid and it works well. I'm still able to out DPS a perfectly geared, hasted, level 160 rogue and have free points to adjust between lure of assassins and energy shield as needed.

Do you use points in lures besides assassins? Do you use both fire and ice lure?
I have all of my points currently in bolt, cloak, incinerate, fire lure, assassins lure -- and there are none left. :/

I have a couple different builds I run depending on if we have another Mage logged in to lure Aggy or not, my most used build unless I'm needed for Lure of Assassins is:

50/35 Firebolt (Royal and Minor rings and Aggy bracer)
44/35 Ice Shards (Royal and Grand rings)
30/35 Lure of Fire
30/35 Lure of Ice
29/35 Energy Shield (Aggy Bracer)

When I am on lure duty I use:

50/35 Firebolt (Royal and Minor rings and Aggy bracer)
35/35 Ice Shards
30/35 Lure of Fire
30/35 Lure of Ice
40/35 Lure of Assassins (Godly and Royal rings)

Your build looks just fine though, cloak is a nice add-on to DPS for the tank and incinerate is very close to the DPS of ice shards. Only thing missing is the added ice damage from lure of ice but if your clan members utilize mostly fire lux and earthstone then it's probably not a huge increase in DPS for them.

Adding a new sheild to a Mage would make them almost impossible to die...e shield can withstand enough to get through most attacks in pvp and has a slowish fast cooldown

But if you switched e-sheild with a new then I guess go for it

I was thinking this too, another dps skill for ice ability would be awesome. It would make lure of ice more useful and some of the mages with more ice ability in there gear can get more use out of it instead of always going for everything fire ability and firebolt too be the best dps.

Yeah, the selection of ice magic skills is frustrating. I currently have a shadow frost grim and would love to utilize that ice magic boost, but I use all fire magic skills. LOL. Every time I try to go ice or fire/ice hybrid I get frustrated (within a matter of hours) and go right back to fire.

I have a fire/ice dps hybrid, with maxed firebolt, ice shards, firestorm at more than half (with a ring), and about 9 in incinerate. I use a fire lure (with a ring), but not an ice lure. The end result is that my dps skills all are around 500-1000 damage (ice shards being the highest) per cast at lvl 108. I have points in energy boost to help with my energy regen gear and, like all dps mages, can still have energy issues, particularly when soloing, as I have energy shield with a considerable number of points in it.

Soloing I do need to occassionally rest, but recasting energy shield on sizable solo mobs requires that anyway.

Admittedly, I'm no 150 mage, but it has worked pretty well so far.

how about ice poop..
you take a spectral in the fight and it does 20 ice damage over time!
maybe there can be a new element special for mages called personal hygiene !

Very funny...

What would the name be and the effects?

How about:

Frost: Weak when casted but then slowly does more damage over time.

Chill: slows down target's walking speed by 30%? and slows down attack speed by 30%? but has a long cool down

Glacier: large block of ice stuns the target for 4 seconds and does low damage.

ice spear/lance: more powerful than ice shards but has a very long cast time and cool down.

Ice aura: Increases ice damage and resistance.

Give feedback and let me know if you believe any are too OP.
