I just can't get past the fact that to be a great magic damage dealer, you have to sacrifice so much defense and even though you can take down enemies fast, if they hit you enough you're a stone cold corpse. Its the whole "Glass Cannon" thing and I know theres life leeching and everything, but some enemies are so strong they can hurt you way more than you can heal and WILL kill you before you kill them. So as a mage, you can only get so far until you realize you need to be less squishy to do a boss or event, or you need to team up with a tank.
