I've never played a mage beyond like 27. I wasn't trying to *harshly* critisize your idea. I was just throwing out there what came to mind reading your post. Like I said, I have no stake in this fight. Mages aren't my gig.

Now to take off my vet shoes. As a new player I'm not rolling a mage. I'm rolling one of the suggested classes right on the creation screen. Just like I did when I started. That's just me, and isn't meant as a "you are wrong" statement. Just me taking off my sweet ass vet shoes.

Oh man, nice to let the dogs out now and then.
