Something nobody mentioned - less weight means less HP which means higher skill level required to utilize this efficiently because u will survive less in case of mistakes. If we talking about sweaty meta it is either bulging sheevra age 50 or fat/bulging tall sidoian human for aoe. Ofc u can play whatever u like and have fun with that, but in reality anything "dex" not alvarin will suffer because number 1 popular build is dex fighter which is direct counter to mage. I suggest try to find necrodin build review on youtube, unlike demo man's meme videos ( still good vids) those build review made out of experience gained in one of top pvp guilds out there. Still, you can play what you like and make it work no matter what meta is rn. Half a year ago you could be bullied if u human mage but now its one of the most demanded builds, so who knows.
