Section 1 - Skills
Fire Skills
Warmth - 1 - Passive mana regeneration acts as almost extra mana. Maxing it has ample returns, but it's better to spend those valuable skills points elsewhere and just let +skills do the work for you.
Lightning Skills
Charged Bolt - 1 - Prerequisite if you plan on getting energy shield, which I personally prefer to have.
Telekinesis - 1 - Prerequisite to Teleport.
Static Field - 1 - Static is one of the most useful spells in the game. Every cast instantly takes out 25% of a monster's current health. Handy for Baal or Diablo.
Lightning - 1 - Prerequisite to energy shield.
Chain Lightning - 1 - Prerequisite to energy shield.
Teleport - 1 - Invaluable for fast MF runs, avoiding the enemy in PvP. and getting to your target fast in PvM.
Energy Shield - 1 - Acts as extra life for you!
Cold Skills
Ice Bolt - 1 (After you're finished with everything else, put the rest of your points here) - Prerequisite to Blizzard and Shiver Armor, and synergy to Blizzard.
Frozen Armor - 1 - Prerequisite to Shiver Armor for most people, but some people will use it over Shiver Armor. It gives considerably less defense, but it will freeze melee attackers instead of merely slowing them down.
Frost Nova - 1 - Prerequisite to Blizzard.
Ice Blast - 1 (After you're finished with everything else, put the rest of your points here) - Prerequisite to Blizzard and Shiver Armor and synergy to Blizzard.
Shiver Armor - 1 - An excellent defensive skill. It provides a dramatic boost to your defense, and chills any melee attackers that attack you, helping you prevent a stunlock.
Glacial Spike - Max - Prerequisite and synergy to Blizzard. Also, because of its splash freezing effect and decent damage, it is the perfect spell to shoot during the cooldown time of blizzard.
Blizzard - Max - Your main attack spell. Why Blizzard? It does the highest damage per shard out of any of the cold skills, hits multiple enemies multiple times, and is versatile enough to take on both crowds and single enemies.
Cold Mastery - Max - Pierces enemy resistances to cold: actually adds more damage to blizzard than any of its synergies.
