Mage / Warrior

Mage / Warrior (Burst Mage) Introduction
Mage/Warrior (m/w) is a straight mage with elite skills that allow burst damage increase and burst cast speed increase along with burst agro reduction. As such it is the best mage for a boss fight or any tough single target fight. Its DPS and Crowd Control and DoT are all basic mage capabilites so it is decidedly meh outside of a boss fight. It is a good class to select for players who enjoy the toon building process more than managing complicated skills for maximum effectiveness during combat. To play endgame it requires the folloing:
 * max level mage
 * level 70 warrior and level 70/70 elite
 * mage gear (slanted toward glass cannon)
 * unharmed mage item set skill (lvl 58)

Basic Build Recommendation

 * 4 piece hard mode cloth set

 * Crafted / POM gloves belt cape
 * Stat for Glass Cannon -- 6x Intelligence / Magic Attack
