I'd go with balance, they are at an advantage in pvp and many of the ice players I've seen in the game seemed to be crying that no one likes them cause their school is ice. Ice is the only school I've seen people be totally emotionally devestated by playing it.

Well there are googoplex's of post about which school to be. I can not tell what school is the best for you. But what I can tell you is try out a wiz to like level 12, and see what best fits your play style. I did this after I got to grand, and wanted to try another school. But as a personal opinion I found that Death is fun to level, for me. Later I am gonna jump on my fire to see how he does in Krokotopia, if he doesn't fall flat then I am going back to my death in Marleybone.

I think you should pick Balance. They have several good spells ( such as judgement which does a lot of damage).

As for Ice, They have tons of health but their spells are weak.

Why don't you get Ice as your main school, and Balance as your secondary? Ice may be weak, but they have extremely high health and many shields. But, Balance has blades, shields, and traps, so with that, you'd be almost unstoppable! (:

Good luck choosing!

Why do you assume he is gonna use it to play pvp? If your gonna make a new wizard then go with ice, balance is mostly a support class when it comes pve.

It is my opinion that you can't tell how a character will play until you start playing marleybone as you can't judge your character on its lower level spells and until marleybone you aren't constantly up against multiple oppenents that are a bit hard to kill.

You specificly told him balance, for no other reason then pvp. Also, of course you wouldnt have said ice bc all you seem to do is bash on it, like in several of your posts.
