I decided to start off a new wizard because my got Exalted. What should I spend my training points on? Note: I am not doing secondary schools, that tactic is cheap and a waste.

i agree, secondary schools are a waste; the only off-school spells you need are:
I would add to the above, train Elemental Blades & Traps as well. There will be instances where you are not the hardest hitter, where it makes sense for an Ice, Fire, or Storm to hit, and the more members of the group who can buff that hit, the faster that mob/boss/instance/dungeon/tower will go.
It's true that secondary school training can be a monumental waste of training points but I would suggest you get at least one trained off-school 1-pip attack spell for those times when you need to bust a Tower or a Weakness and your wand hits aren't showing up. In your case (Death) I'd suggest Imp because it'll also allow you to knock off Life Shields without ruining your Prisms when you're fighting Death school enemies. TCs will work for this but they'll take up space in your side deck that could be used for more useful cards. If you follow the Life to Satyr strategy you will already have accomplished this although as a Death wizard you're not likely to have much need for Satyr unless you intend to heal teammates.

Death school enemies don't actually use Life Shields, at least from what I've seen.

As a L100 death myself, I will tell you, the spells I found that were useful are:
1) Damage enhancing sun spells (the ones with the fist on them) 2) Stun Block
Instead of using spirit blade/trap, hatch for a pet that gives you an item card deathblade, use the L56 wintertusk crafted helm which gives an item card deathblade, and stack that with the school taught one. That'll get you the power you need, especially once you get sharpened blade.
spirit blade/trap stops being useful really quickly. The thing with death is, you have to build up for damage (as Im sure you know already), but using feints or tri blades/traps prolongs the fights because they use a pip. Let's look at a real world example. Scarecrow costs 7 pips. If you use feint, spirit blade and spirit trap, you can expect to go 6 rounds before you can even attack. That's 6 rounds of taking damage from enemies. In the BEST possible circumstances:
Round 1 - 2 powerpips, use one for feint Round 2 - 2 powerpips, use one for spirit blade Round 3 - 2 powerpips, use one for spirit trap Round 4 - 2 powerpips, deathblade Round 5 - 3 powerpips, some other 0-pip blade/trap Round 6 - 4 Powerpips, cast scarecrow
Think streamlining and you'll be able to hit earlier and with more power. This method worked for me, using my death, to solo all but the hardest fights in the game:
As for the comment about learning one spell to knock off shields or not using prisms, dont bother with that. Grab a wand that uses life school hits and you'll never have to worry about wasting prisms, knocking off shields, or weaknesses

Tucson, Death mobs never use Life Shield.

I trained in myth up to Minotaur and then spent a point to get the mutate minotaur spell. Deadly minotaur is a death school spell, you can use power pips to cast it, deadly minotaur hits much harder than the myth version, and it has that nice ability to clear a shield out of the way before dealing most of its damage. I used it quit a bit until I lucked out and got the deer knight spell.
the downsides are that it won't work well with prisms, or any traps, you can't boost it with other sun spells like colossus, and it only has 80% accuracy like the original version.
But hey, it looks cool, people always commented when they saw me using it. Since every life enemy knows death shield, and every ice enemy knows tower shield, it saves a lot of time not having to waste a turn to remove those shields.
wizard because my
