rubisco's modified glasscannon
QCK 59/ INT 123 /VIT 23
Three scholars, (I believe two ambushes, or maybe one ambush one discipline),
The fairly popular method of building a mage is to take the culex build and swap STR for Int. But I have a feeling that if you are bringing along a mage for the defense instead of the offense, the numbers could be more efficiently worked.

BrightIce 's modified golem workshop glasscannon/healer
126 int, 55 quick, and 15 vit
Three scholars, one meditate, contuse, aid, regenerate
Slightly slower, not as resistant as the above build but packs a better punch
