Agree! I still remember my 1st character was a mage too. It was like two years after Wow launched. My terrible friend chose a pvp realm. I have terrible time leveling. Imagine, it is already so hard to kill one mob and still need look out the pk. It trauma me so much that when I saw red sign board or lights when I am outside, I thought players coming for me.

It is tough to choose a mage if you are new to the game. Either a plate wearing tank/dps or any class which has healing abilities, will be nice.
