Magic Build Feedback Please

I'm still new at magic builds and from my previous post I looked at all the recommended builds and I pieced together a build that I think I might like: http://mmdks.com/1q9o
I know it has Dark Bead twice but it's a spell that's in the game so oh well I'm going to use it :roll:
I'm curious if there is something I should've put more or less points in.

2 Things.

1, at your strength level, the manus catalyst will do less dmg than the TCC which is also lighter than Manus.


2, Consider getting 45 dex so that you don't cast like an old grandma. 45 dex is the quickest cast time.

sl 101 seems like an odd level but here is another idea. http://mmdks.com/1qb0

2 Beads, 1 CSS, 1 Pursuers. 45 Dex so that they all cast quickly, higher poise which you'll need as a mage, and the rapier for riposte.

Since you are already using high int magic with the elf ears I believe Havels ring will serve you better, bellowing is overkill at that point. The crutch to this build is low end, but as a mage you shouldn't need much of it based off your wep choice and method of fighting.


Just some insight
