Hey all, new player here (2-3 weeks). I want to start a class that I can solo with and farm up for to gear out either a tank or a monk. Sorry if this is a broken record type of thread, I've tried searching old threads to no avail.

I have almost zero experience with casters, other than a super twink lvl 52 epic'd mage I used to solo Naggy/Vox on live (and that was all PL'd so I didn't REALLY experience it).

Anyway, I'm kinda split between Enc and Mag. Kinda avoiding Nec, because I don't think I would like fear kiting (sounds dangerous with random pathing).

Charming sounds dangerous too and harder (because of the breaking it and killing both).

I was leaning towards Mag because it sounds easier.

I would like to try something new, my main concern really is leveling speed and low cost (as I have very little plat).

Can anyone chime in to let me know difficulty curve, farming ability and any other input (if I am forgetting/not considering something)?

Thanks guys!
