Wel if it was me i would skip energy shield and all the prereqs for that
and then one point in static. Energy shield is not worth much of you
don't pump telekinises.
Also i would one put 5 points in cold mastery, but then put 6 ot 7
points in warmth.
And then i would put 0 point in energy.
And use an upped Visceratuant with a pdia.

I find that my CL/FO sorc began loving the one point in Energy Shield
after giing her Holy Freeze merc an INSIGHT stick.

one pt in energy is great. but all the +skills pump it up too much that a
few hits will drain mana while teleporting... i've died in HC from that.
teleported into a crowd and no mana to teleport away.
Hell is very unforgiving...
