Runes of Magic US / AU

Hello everyone I have played this game for a long time now. But I switched my class to my third class laying around. I am a warden/mage. Level 80/40.
Anyways, I am asking about what gear I should use for this hybrid class combo because of its level 15/15 elite skill "Wind Chop" some of my friends on my server (reni) have said that wind chop is not worth it. Only because it does 522% MHWDPS. Compared to CC. which (both at level 80) does 696% MHWDPS.
But apparently it can sometimes trigger 820 wind damage after a successful hit. This is magic based. I know that there are some of what I like to call, mutant weapon that you could pull off of mem vendors in Syrbal Pass. I currently have a T9 Fayloed's Huge Axe OD. But the T9 Bethomia Giant Sword Will be short about 500 pdmg. but the mdmg will be incresed by about 1k (unbuffed). So my final question is this: Is the wind chop "wind" damage from magical attack? or magic damage. If so, what weapon should I use? To make the most use of my damage.

Thanks.

Thank you for the replies. I do understand the hardships of play as wdn/m. I was just looking because I tested it. Wind chop does 522% MHWDPS plus 820 wind damage. A level 80 warden/mage hit me for around 35k crit (wind damage) in mage gear. Only at skill level 25. Thank you for the replies. I was just wondering if it had any viability. In my honest opinion I think wind chop can hit pretty massively in mage gear. So, if you were to wear all mage gear plus a +16 T10 Fayleod's Huge Axe? would it make a difference in PvP? Thank you.

Well as for magic skill lvling it all the way from 25 to 80 will not do so much difference as lvlin any pdmg skill. In short words I wouldn't expect DMG from wind part of the skill to double it would be rather less than that. So DK what was his matt and your mdef, but same hit on pDPS gear would do probably same DMG on physical part Well the only difference would be that people do not stat mdef like at all, still not worth it, as it would be char statted only for PvP with one melee magic skill..... If you really are so into PvP I would rather recommend to lvl up your mage and switch from Wd/M on M/Wd with magic gear...

Thank you very much. I will take this idea into consideration.
