If you're a mage, disregard everything I've just said, and take one for the team.
I LoLed in RL at that part. My main was a mage for a long time before I picked up a hunter and realized I died too often, never said I was a good mage :/

Anyway, tell your guildie thanks for this writeup, it's spot on and the best I've seen. Gonna share this my guild too. What's left of the guild, we like others, have our "Elite Raiders" and like me, not so great "N00bs".
