Eh I think grabbing the 3 abilities near the Mage core is all you need to be able to adapt to any situation on Nightmare as a mage. Incidentally, I think the Mage Core is the strongest of the 3 classes and I generally recommend picking up every single node before anything else.
Frost Nova is always useful. Chain Lightning helps in Arlathan (which is the first real map you can explore fully), and Fire Wall is just super useful all around. I enchanted Fire Wall to give Deflect which is very strong in the early game as Mage lacks reliable activators for it until you grab the node in the Winter section.
If you go Evoker, the path from Chain Lightning to the Evoker area is pretty powerful too as you can grab +15% mana regen, +50 mana (only non-spec node in the tree that does this!), and a passive that adds ability damage based on your weapon types. The trait nearby is also good for charged attack efficiency.
When I go spellblade I plan to skip frost abilities and focus on Lightning/Fire only for thematic reasons. There's this one orb called Mage's Gambit that swaps between the elements so I'm excited to use it for that playthrough.
Right now I'm just stacking the hell out of Chilled bonuses and with all the frost resist shred (Evoker passive most important one), I have committed to the Frost build. Though I sometimes pull out Fire spells for fun.
My final attacks doing 3k *PER* projectile on shredded/chilled targets, and I fire half a dozen of them with the Evoker passive. I don't even have the 4th Crow's Bill passive yet which makes them deal 100% more damage. I'm so excited for it haha.
Mages scale like crazy and they already started strong. Definitely the most powerful class, though also the most reliant on the team til late game. Welcome back DnD wizard I guess?
