Chingis, I think I'll follow your example and say what I wouldn't do.
6, 7, 8. How can you say that earth magic isn't needed?! If you focus on it, your path skills directly improve (Earth Idol and Mother Earth), you get more earth elementals, longer petrification, stronger regeneration, stone skin, and poison cloud. You can defeat everyone with just earth magic!
17, 18. I don't know how you can play without Education. I take this skill as one of the first. It will give you an extra level anyway, before you even encounter an enemy hero. And I don't understand, is Education and Learning not the same thing?
19. What's the point of Stone Walls?
5 elementals is questionable. That's already 225 mana, if I'm not mistaken. Have you ever had a battle where you needed all 5 elementals?
In general, writing about what to upgrade isn't very useful. You need to consider: a) who you're playing against; b) the size of the map; c) the difficulty level. For example, you wouldn't take Ice Block and Slippery Ground against a Shrine mage, would you?
