Ice or Curse?

[Technique]

So lately I've been spending way to much plat on respecs trying out different build/skills, but now I'm down to my last respec so I decided to post this...

Right now I'm using fire/time/light and I can't seem to find a 4th skill that I like, I don't like gale for some reason and I think heal is pretty useless so I'm asking everyone else

Ice vs Curse, I have enough skill points to get the skill and do 2/3 upgrades when I hit 16.

I tried ice at a lower level before I remade my mage and didn't really like it but I also didn't stick with it for long, I'm leaning towards curse for the extra 15% damage when upgraded just because I can't find any other skill that I like.
