Fire Attack/Ice Support Skill Tree (Suggestions PLZ!)

[R22877297]

I was doing some research on Mage Hybrid and I thought the mix of Fire Attack and Ice support was cool. Looked at a few different skill build and combone/tweak/&omit to my liking. This is what I came up with. From my 37th-39th Skill Point were extra at the end after I map all this out so I just put it in things I thought would be useful to me. Then the 12 points we get, I didn't really know what to do with them so again I put it in random things. As a Mage I will not be PvP, but more PvE so I focused more AoE attacks and surviving the mobs best I can which explains why I didn't max out any "single" attacks, though I saw many guide prefer to max out Improved Fire Ball but I choose a different route. I had to give up some attacks for my Ice Support Tree. I really find mana is an issue which is why i focuses more on recovering mana if it wasn't obvi. Anyways I would LOVE any suggestions, comments, opinion, & etc to help me tweak this a little more

And I am new to this game-ish and I read different things on receiving the Sand Of Time from a LV. 50 quest but if it is true then I plan on reworking this whole tree to see if it could improve it So some clarification would be nice.

Thanks!

its an ok build in theory, but saving skill points when you can buy a SoT is pointless, also you get 62 total not 52... i got max master flame burst, max flame explosion, max metor strike, max thunder, max improved fire wave, max balrogs, lvl 6 valley of death, max icicle armor, max frost shield, max deep freeze, and lvl 3 alacrity, plus 1 in all the ones that you have to have prior to get the top end ones (i.e. fire ball, mana breeze, etc.) thats my personal build, hope it helps... oh and thunderstorm is ****, it hurts you more than it helps, valley of death is at least another aoe with decent damage, and limitless targets... ive seen other mages combine valley with black hole and do some serious death dealing in seng... just not my style personally, so theres plenty of options as a mage... oh and btw, ive used 20+ SoT's trying out different spec's so dont be afraid to spend the (on my server 20-30g) on a SoT good luck!
