Anyone help a newb with Warrior build ... ??? (and a bit on rangers)
For a battle mage type build, you should probably concentrate on intelligence and use magic based weapons.
Level 1 of Evade helps with melee combat (higher levels give less of an effect per skill point). If you are surrounded, Firewall would probably help, as well.
Mages can be very effective in DKS, especially if they duel wield weapons with magic damage bonuses and/or enchantments (no need to boost the Duel Wielding Expertise skill for a pure mage, but you would for a battle mage). Any magic damage bonuses get applied to each magic missile or other attack spell. Early in the game you can use magical weapons so you can concentrate on boosting Intelligence and still have the option to fall back on ranged or melee combat waiting for spell cooldown or mana recharge. Since you are already level 15, you would just need to focus on intelligence as you level. I actually stopped distributing stat points with my ranger in DKS after level 15, to keep things challenging; your strength now will at least help with melee resistance and healing rate, and would help with a balanced weapon, and even if it takes a few levels to start getting your intelligence up a bit, magic damage enchantments would help more than that, anyway.
