Help with 2 handed mage build

[Gwynblade]

Hey, I want to make a viable 2 handed mage that uses frost magic (something like a death knight), but I am a bit overwhelmed with different stats and I'm not sure how to make this build properly.
What stats should I focus on?
What's the difference between the first specialization and the second one? What should I choose first: two handed or frost magic?

A Sword & Sorcery build can be a little hard in this game since the two damage stats (Might and Wits) are split. That means you're gonna have to pick some dump stats to bring down to 8; I suggest Vitality & Quickness. Quickness has no effect on your weapon's swing speed, only the time it takes for your spells and abilities to cool down (Get enough spells to rotate between and this won't be so bad). The bad Vitality will be covered over by your heavy armor, Death Knight, right?

Know that picking just one frost specailization cucks you out of a talent tree point. Pick two frost specailization nets you JUST one. Kinda sad and dumb. I suggest you double specalize in two handers for two talent points. Raise your Lore high (lore is the be all and end all for magic) and buy the frost scroll from the vendor in the Disfavoured camp.

Without starting with frost specailization it is going to take you awhile fruitlessly casting and missing with Frozen Grasp and soon after Rimespike while the Frost Magic skill trains up. It mostly governs accuracy and crits. Shouldn't take too long though.

A big reason you might focus on Frost magic is for the Crowd Control. You may want only a mediocre Wits stat - your spells won't do as much damage but instead your ice debuffs will last for a really long time. To do that raise Might and Resolve (not Wits) high. A high Resolve will also boost a lot of defences turning your Death Knight into more of a frontliner.

Good Luck!
