Looking for suggestions for a viable Ice Mage Build?

I noticed two things. One is that I redid the Menu Bar with spells etc, but it did not remember it when I went to the game menu and reloaded the game for a second run. Also, items that was dropped and in my back pack or personal safe with the smuggler was not longer there either. BUT, an item I put in shared stash was still there.

The issues you’re having sound like

But the weirdest part, (well, if either of the above belongs to that category that is), was that I can access Elite with my second character which only done part of Act 2 so far ?

That is the case when you play Custom game but I don’t think you do. I haven’t heard of such bug.
