I've seen quite a few people trying out Mage/Knight and Mage/Rogue. But it's up to you

If you want more survivability as a Mage, go Mage/Priest or Mage/Knight if you're human, and Mage/Druid if you're an elf. The ability to heal yourself can help negate squishiness, and anyone with /Knight will have higher defense. Other than that, Mage is one of the most balanced classes in that no secondary combo stands clearly above the others. I know high-level Mages with every secondary possible, and they are all good.

You can have three classes, but only two are active at any given time. So for example, if you were to choose Rogue and Druid as your second and third classes, you could play as six different combinations: M/R, M/D, R/M, R/D, D/M, and D/R.

I am a M/D and its great. I had no problem with both PvE and PvP. I am able to get Top Kills despite other major dps classes in my guild. My heals come in handy a lot during Siege Wars (PVP) because I can heal myself/others/defenses when there are no priests/druids nearby. It is really convenient to just simply click a spell that would heal you and not have to rely on expensive health pots.

But I am seeing a lot more M/K for their extra defense and self-buffs and M/R for their DoTs and DPS. Also I hear that M/W is going on the rise too. But whatever second class you choose, just know that you could always pick a third one once your lvl 20/20.

The best second class for a mage is currently mage. Whether you go W/M, R/M, S/M, or Anything/M you'll be better off than M/anything right now. Good luck with it...
