DE mages in one of the top german endgame guilds actually top scrut/close to top in non-magic groups
Edit: oh... the post this was replaying to has vanished into the abyss... lol

Any class can be top dps if you put your mind and money to it also don't forget wl/chp or ch/r

Actually with the new instances (rh, mtn, vor) w/m seems like the strongest class for quite a few bosses and m/w is the burn oriented alternative so it still does decent on the other bosses m/w just such a pain to play at a top level with all the alts you need to manage though.

Let's just all agree that mage isn't something OP should put their time and/or money into if they are starting fresh.

I suggest definitely being an elf if you plan to dps. Can do so much with warden on a lot of different class combos, and can still pick up the other good combos as an elf.

Nothing wrong with W/M... I miss it really :< only physical class I've had as much fun playing as w/m was scout. It's personal preference honestly. Not like someone starting brand new needs endgame DPS anyway, best way into runs would be m/wl and wl/m instead.

don't get all this hate against m/w and w/m, it does just fine, because it's all about how you build your party, stick a m/w in a w/s group and ofc it compares crap, back at 90-95 cap, my guild focused largely on magic dps, full of w/m and/or k/m, and we had a few melee who would always cry that their dps sucked compared to the magic, and it wasnt that they sucked, it was just that they werent in the right built party ,now its flipped, and we run more melee orientated then magic, and its ofc different, its down to how you build your party, and there is no real use to crying how other combos are better if you build your party for the opposite way, full magic and full melee parties both work fine.

And as nirvasa said, m/wl and wl/m is easy way to get into endgame runs, just get a plussed neck, full crafted gear and a curse rune and you're set for m/wl, wl/m? just get all elites, max warp charge and you're good to go.
