No offense, but why would you ever go without 2/2 on magic attunement? :S Some other weird choices here aswell if you ask me.

I pretty sure if depends on what BG you're playing on, but if any mage in my BG would had run with that specc i'm pretty sure they would had got humilated.

This is not a "Standard" spec.

personally i wouldnt put 2 points in enduring winter , not needed, 1 point is more than enough.

bad spec for a bad mage. 1/2 attunement?

I honestly don't know what I was thinking when I submitted this spec, but even I don't use this spec, and I suggested it.

*COUGH

Strange spec, i wouldnt spec like this :)

This spec is fine except i'd take one out of spell impact and put it into magic attunement. I don't see anything blatantly wrong with this.

# of Enduring Winter / Chilled to the Bone points are kinda personal preference, could go either way with that

I don't know what abilities/CC you are using, but as long as it seems to work for you I guess don't fix it if it aint broke ?
