Although powerful, it is recommended to have a mage for an alt rather than the first class you play, as a mage requires a good amount of experience to use properly.
The two core skills of the Mage is Firebolt and Ice Shards?, although you may choose to switch to others as your base later in the game to suit your play style. Mages have the largest library of skills of all the classes, making it fairly flexible depending on how you allocate skill points and experienced you are.
Among some of the things Mages bring to the table is a number of support skills most useful for boss fights, such as various lures, which decrease the target's resistance to a specific damage, Energy Boost, Cloak Of Fire, and Sacrifice?
Traditionally a low armor high DPS class that uses the elemental skills of Fire and Ice (cold).
After update 3 the mage is less DPS oriented and more health oriented with the widespread use of the energy shield skill.
While it is still possible to make a pure DPS mage, many mages in update 3 end up with average dps, health, and support skills to be able to solo level.
Each point of "Equipped Weight" (only things you are wearing) will decrease a mages energy by an amount. As weight goes up, it seems that less energy is subtracted for each point in weight so it is non linear. For example at weight = 5 it subtracts energy at 6.7 energy per point of weight, but at 15 weight, only an average of 5.26 energy is subtracted per point in weight.
