I need some help with heroic hardcore (less spoilers plz)

Hello!

Played some time, as usually in RPG my char is mage, in this case a pure damage typo. Aimed for the most bottoms skills suchas that void thing, that useless companion was build on Vengeance, kind of imba skill in early game easy 1000 damage. And also bonus to Spellpower aura. I get only to the city of Borgova and the end there are... Lost more than 10th chars with similar builds... I think to try with Arcane Mechanic, but he is kind of shooter, don't want to play for gunslinger.

— The Elelectrical Damage Aura will boost Void spell (28th level)?
— What auras is better to pick for my build?
— If my char goind to pure damage, is there a point to boost Lightning Bolt? Or spare skillpoints? What good combination of two spells with one of the suppose to be that Void thing? Maybe I should try Ice-related mage rather than Lightning?

Thanx for the future answers!

Some of ma char's stats before leaving the village and enter to acursed Borgova, it's gonna be a pure frost mage, any suggestion how to change skill before that bloody Behemots with teleports and so on?

I have found a way how to counter for a little imba-teleport abilities in a large and insane damage foes — a fast typing Left and Right arrows (in my case A and D), or up and down correspondingly right before monster teleport and make a hard kick, this sometimes helps to distract the point of teleporting and prevent a heavy loss of HP by char.

The char above was a frozen mage, he died in Borgova, so it's not relevant anymore. Now I have another strategy — a fire mage will be, but for now I not reached even swamps.

I'm playing on a heroic hardcore too, but as a Arcane Mechanic (build on mecha spiders + ranged Katarina with reducing cooldowns asmasp). After trying out about 10 hunters and mages both. Seems like Arcane Mechanic is the best char for heroic hardcore because of surviveability. I'm lvl 27 now and soon will get this annoying achivement

If you will found a siutable heroic hardcore build for mage, share it plz.

I have lost near twenty Thaumaturges and one Mechanic for now... Indeed, Arcane Mechanic is far more durable, just don't want to play archer-guy, I like magical stuff. I don't know a good build for now, I am usually playing a 'classical RPG mage', this mean no HP, all ability points in magic, all skills magic related too. My last char was a firemage, and I say that this build is far more powerful that anything I tried before, Fire Wall + 15 sec burning time with powerup can do unrealistic damage. Also that useless ghost is not so useless when has a range-build, the problem with melee ghost that enemies moving, not static, and ghost follows main hero and no attacking, but! With a range attack she continuously shooting. I have lost that char only because in the middle of the battle I had push him into cutscene, and char teleported due this cutscene right into the worst place possible, surrounded one side with heavy damage dealers — shooters and the other side with very fast horde of meele damagers...
For now I am playing lightning mage + melee ghost, but only because I have bored to play fire.
