Battlemage build 2

[Elidan123456]

new and improved

hi, this is my first build, the purpose of this built is to be able to deal some heavy damage while being able to remain alive in solo, the purpose is also to have fun, because spamming the left mouse button can get annoying on pure melee classes and for some people it's just not fun standing in the sidelines casting spells, not getting in on any of the action, so if I accomplished my goal then this is a build for a character that will do a high amount of damage, be self sufficient, and have fun. keep in mind this is my first build, in the beginning I totally forgot about enhancements so I only spent the points later on, try to ignore the sloppy order and look at the final product, when I actually make this character the order is going to be slightly different. also I would love it if some of the experts here could tell me what I could improve to make this build batter designed for its purpose.

oh and i forgot to mention, it's probably obvious from the build but i will tell you anyway, by the time the character get's about halfway into the game he/she should be able to use light armor (non robes) with no prob, the character uses greatswords for melee and most spells are instant cast damaging spells, there is however some extras cuse i could just choose so many spells.

thing is though, i don't know which spells are instant cast and which require a cast time, i purposely didn't do anything with concentration because i know some of those spells are instant cast. so if u see any spells that are not instant (which i am pretty sure some are) tell me please, and if there are enough important spells like that i will have ot remake character with much batter constitution.
