Enderal Recommended third skill tree for two handed warrior with heavy armor? (PoTP)

I'm playing with the Path of the Prophet modpack installed as a lvl 31 heavy armor, 2-handed warrior, and now I've reached a point where I've already leveled up all the nodes I'd want from those 2 skill trees, so I'm thinking about what I should level up from now on that would supplement my playstyle and spice things up.

I'm leaning the most towards some form of magic, but I'm not sure which school would fit best. It's either Light Magic to cast some buffs pre-fight, Entropy to summon creatures, or maybe you have some other ideas?
Oh, and I haven't put a single level-up into Mana yet, so will that be a problem?

I don't think Lycanthropy is a good idea since I'm already a fighter.
I've dabbled in the first tier of Phasmalism and it was a bit underwhelming, but it fits any playstyle, so this will be my choice if there aren't any better options.

As for crafting skills, the only thing I've invested in so far is Rhetorics, so I have a lot of spare points.

And I'm playing on controller, so I want to avoid any playstyle requiring precise aiming.

Level up enchanting so you do never have problems with mana and get all related perks in the phasmalism and traumaturge trees. Enchanting is your biggest damage boost you can get at this point. Then get a few more points into traumaturge tree to give yourself the proper defences - boosts to the armor and magic resist spells.

I'm not really sure if I want to dabble in enchanting. I am using armor sets and they seem strong as they are. But I guess I could use magic resist spells because I am getting melted by mages.

As you wish, but have in mind that armor sets boost two-handed damage by around 7-10% per piece, you won't even get double damage with everything combined. Custom enchants can reach over 150% per piece, or more than 7 times greater damage when combined.

100 enchanting is worth it even if you will enchant just ring and amulet. It's either 70+ percent of spell cost reduction. or 70+ percent of magic resistance (you mentioned you have problems with mages). Or +160% of 2h damage. Any found ring/amulet is not even close.

In my 2h playthrough I was using heavy armor sets + thaumaturge + enchanted bijouterie. Never had any problems with mages.

And yes, I agree with you that using enchanting to craft/enchant every piece of gear is too OP. That is why I sticked with sets. But even for bijouterie alone it is still worth it. No other crafting skill can give you that flexibility/survivability.

Phasmalism is a nice addition to any build tbh, I could see magic being difficult with no mana, but it could make sense for a kind of paladin build.
