Mage build lvl 15?

Trying to find a build that works well against everyone for lvl 15 Mage in pvp

Um, the beauty of 15 Mage is that there is always usually at least one counter build to every build; however, this build imo Is the most versatile.

5 fire for combo and kiting
3 heal, any more is too much for a "nuke Mage" and too high for a kite mage if the Mage can kite well
4 light for nuking potential
1 frost bite: some people put ice storm but frost bite gives better damage as well as better range
1 drain, could be too little vs a high drain-fire Mage unless you become pro and learn to counter drain perfectly.

If this doesn't nuke hard enough for you, I'd suggest having 2 drain and 3 light instead.
Combo vs mages should be Ice-Lightning-Fire and repeat. Look for your health bar while pressing these 3 buttons and if it reached 3/4, heal. If under 1/2 drain-heal.

Combo vs bears is Fire-run or Fire-ice, depending in the bears style of play. Kiting is almost the easiest thing in the game at level 15, and if you can't do it well, just quit.

REMEMBER to observe the circumstances around your fight while fighting, like health bar, ranges, and the opponents combo.

MORETIPS:
If they are a drain-ice-fire-lightning or any combo with drain first, observe it and respond with either fire and running(remember tosaveheal to heal off the freeze from ice) and then go in with your normal nuking combo.
Anither way to counter this isto Heal-drain perfectly when you see health moving down rapidly, it should pump life back to 3/4 and negate their insta-nuke. If you can do any of these vs insta-nukes, winning won't be as hard.

Oh um, and look for the hot flash combo (ice-fire). Heal off any ice you get in case a fire will be coming, and save your ice and fire to unleash together unless you are about to die or you are kiting
