destro build only becomes easy once you chanted all of your gear for destro... atm all my destro spells only costs 4 mana per spell 8 mana if i dual cast em. i rushed chanting to 100 so i could get the dual chant per item. made my mage life so much easier, early game i used staves. conjuration iin my opinion doesnt really go upto par and becomes useless once your casting nonstop destro spells. id go for resto and alteration which have good buffs for mages i.e. mana regen magicka shield etc etc.
