Let me first give my specs:

Name: Pixxie

Class: Enchantress level 30

BASE Attributes: Str: 95, Dex: 53, Int: 7

(VERY IMPORTANT. I didn't increase my INT at all.. This build is NOT for those who want a large mana pool or m/s regeneration. That, or you COULD sacrafice the DEX pump with an INT pump to gain a few more mp and m/s... but you'd lose hit rate, dmg, and dps )

Skills: I've stuck with Gigahertz's skill recommendations, and I love the mix. It continues to give me lovely, golden, fluffy AOE damage, heal-meister capabilites, plus a bit of buff/debuff:


Heal: 5
Lightning: 5
Res: 1
Firestorm: 5
Ice Storm: 1
Nightmare: 5
Magic Shield: 5
Blessing of Vitality: 1
Blessing of Might: 1

Stats (with item bonuses included):
Str: 104
Dex: 53
Int: 7
Hit: 107% (!!)
Crit: 10 (!!)
Dodge: 3
Health: 252
Regen: 2
Mana: 304
Regen: 2
Damage: 51 - 55
DPS: 62 (!!!!)
Armor: 65 (!!!!) (69 if I sacrifice the 1m/s and switch to Frosty Shield)

Gear (until I find better):

Croc's Polar Bear Snowcap (lvl 30 LE drop) - 1 str, 1 m/s, 5 armor


***Flaming Sword of Blood (lvl 30 LE drop OR itunes store) - 34 -38 dmg, 0.9 speed (essential for dps(!)), 5 str, 2% hit


Crusader's Frosty Chain Mail (lvl 30 LE drop) - 2 str, 1 dex, 38 armor


Croc's Square Hardwood Shield (lvl 30 LE drop) - 1 str, 1 m/s, 14 armor



Conclusion:

I've created a balanced Battle Mage!!

Benefits:
Insane DPS (for class)
AoE like crazy - It's possible with no fear of aggro because..
You've got tons of armor! Offtank ready!
Heal + Res
Big HP pool + regen = I don't die very much anymore

Detriments:
Low Mana Pool
Low m/s regeneration (tho can be supplemented by Croc's gear)
No ranged attack (but again, AoE is semi ranged)
Expensive! Uses a lot of mana potions!
