Runes of Magic US / AU

Yes, a Mage can be a very good end game character and is also one of the best to help people out and run lower level instances since they have the best AoE spells in the game. I am a 67M/66P and I run endgame instances all the time like GC. You really notice the damage increase when you hit lvl 65 and get the elemental catalyst that allows you to 50% faster cast. With a few pots you can cast Flame at just under 1second cast time.

And until that point, we are squeaky with low survivability...


Actually, your second class is where you have to make some real choices...

Totally agree with DWibbie; mages are indeed a nice class to play 'cause of the CC (croud control) hability provided by AoE and the burst DPS of flame/fireball

As for secondary class, many things will influence your choice, for example:
1) Gear: since M wear cloth, if you use priest as a secondary, you can use the same pieces up to a certain level when having specific stats is important (lets say over lvl 60)
2) your play style: if you like to play alone: go for a priest secondary 'cause you can then self heal. If you want maximum DPS, then probably have a different secondary (not sure the most appropriate... S will be ranged too and boost speed (so it seems logic), R are the current "OP" class (there has to be one :p), ...
3) What secondary toon you want. With the triple class system, you can now effectively have two different toon in one. For example, my mage is a M/P but when I play my priest, I'm a P/K (not P / M). So chose a secondary you will also want to play for real (hence, level it properly to assist first class)
4) Don't forget, there is no "good" choice (there are bad choices tho). The important is to have a class you enjoy playing and will keep you playing and having fun!

Hope this helped
