Too soon to try an immolate build?

[Tenzle]

Hey all, just back to the game after a long break, and wanted to try out something new on my Wizard.

He's currently 43 trains, and has a fixskills --I'm wondering if its worth it to try out the max fire lore immolate build this early, or if 90 ranks of won't do enough.

Thanks

I'd say its an issue of mana.

For the sake of safety, I will assume you have 3x your level in mana, so 129. Lets assume you are CoL and wracking, so call that 258. And that you can Mana Leech your max mana, so thats 387. Thats 20 casts of Immolation, and we will say another 2 for pulses (4 minutes of hunting). Can you fry with 22 casts? Can you ward enemies consistantly, and if so, can you kill on 2/3rds of all casts, based on your hunting grounds?
