PvP build or not?

I'm a pve mage, and I've put points in Mind Drain (Fear) AND nova + inferno.. I think I had enough points for both...

Mind Drain without duration is almost useless.. coz its only for like 3 sec or something?

I can second that, I don't have points in Mind Drain (cos I failed at putting points in skills earlier XD) and I never really use it. Even chain fearing Robo at the end of KKP didn't last til the end.

Again, I don't think there's any difference between PvE and PvP mages. A mage's empowerments are virtually the same with one who PvPs a lot and one who doesn't. At least until you become a Wizard or Warlock. Wizards have no problem owning in PvP anyway.
