Deck Building Advice (Ice/General)

Hey all! I'm new to using the forums and wanted to see if anyone could give me some advice. I'm struggling figuring out a deck/play style my wizard (lvl 67). I feel like I'm taking more damage in minor battles than I should be and that I'm not executing my spells well enough. I love the idea of using DoTs like Snow Angel or shields like Tower or Frozen Armor, but I feel like it's hard to use them practically. Does anyone have any advice on deck building in general or specific builds that work well for you/why? I'm mainly looking for PvE, but PvP advice is welcome too. Thanks!!

My current decks are as follows:

General Questing
2x Ice Blade (1 from side)
2x Reindeer Knight
3x Tower Shield (1 from side)
2x Colossal
1x Satyr
2x Major Blaze
2x Ice Prism (if needed)

Minor Bosses
1x Colossus
2x Frost Giant
3x Ice Blade (1 from side)
1x Snow Angel
3x Tower Shield (1 from side)
2x Colossal
1x Satyr
2x Amplify
2x Fortify
1x Reshuffle
2x Elemental Blade
3x Major Blaze
4x Ice Prism (if needed)

Dungeons/Major Bosses
4x Colossus
4x Frost Giant
6x Frozen Armor
5x Ice Trap (replaced with prisms if needed)
5x Ice Blade (1 from side)
3x Snow Angel
6x Tower Shield (1 from side)
5x Colossal
3x Satyr
3x Amplify
3x Fortify
1x Reshuffle
4x Elemental Blade
4x Elemental Trap
3x Major Blade

If there's anything else I can provide to help, let me know! Thanks again!

Hi! I'm an Ice a little farther ahead. ...Ok way farther. But, I can give some advice

Wintertusk might be hard for an Ice but it's really worth it in levels.

Frozen Armour isn't that good for solo because it take all of your pips, in boos fight using first or second round is ok but I didn't use it. I try to avoid DoT because it gives them the chance to defeat you before you can defeat them.

Gear: (what I used)
Waterworks Gear (2/3)
Blade amulet (Life mastery + Satyrs is also good)
Enchanted Armament Pet (gives sharpen blade)

Main deck: (what I used)
Iceblade
Iceblade-Amulet
Sharpened Iceblade-Pet
Reindeer Knight/Frost giant with upgrade
Blizzard with upgrade
Tower Shield
Reshuffle
Amplify
Pixie

Boss Deck: (what I used)

Iceblade
Iceblade-Amulet
Sharpened Iceblade-Pet
Reindeer Knight/Frost giant with upgrade
Wooly Mammoth with upgrade (Or just Frost Giant)
x2 Tower Shield
Reshuffle
Amplify

Feint (Ice trap/Elemental trap also works)
Sharpened Elemental Blade
2x Reshuffle
Pixie

I tried to solo most of Zafaria and Avalon.
This is just what I used, you don't have to play my way, play it yours.

Thanks, but I dont have reindeer knight, and dont get me wrong I NEED that spell, I just NEED it, and is there a way to craft because I love the animation and its epic so thanks for the suggestion and is Reindeer Knight craftable? because I am too weak to farm loremaster, or even defeat him once.

Take the Towers out of your mob deck. Mob fights should be buff-hit, or buff-buff-hit. Wasting a round for one tower isn't worth the time. Ice has high enough heath to withstand most mobs. If you have an enemy that hits hard enough to be a problem, you are almost always better off with school-specific shields. Tower is essential for PvP, since you don't know who you'll be facing, but usually a mistake for PvE.

Speaking for deck building advice for ice school, I have an ice wizard and I don't know if I put too many spells in her deck. My wizard is I believe level 93-94, I forgot, I might have put too many blades in my deck.
