As first char I suggest druid (free unlimited cash from ports), necro (charm solo to 60 easily), enc (steep learning curve but so rewarding in groups and solo).
Mage is great but quickly loses power compared to the mobs unless you get epic - used to be very hard on blue 99, I don't know about now. Even then, solo wise it loses to most other classes unless you farm low level trash lile Droga or Gazughi ring etc.
Having played Mage I'd say it's the hardest caster class to play because your toolbox is so little (but has a big epic hammer).
