Ok, so you want to melee, right? And you're gonna group most of the time. But you will be duoing sometimes. There is an alright, but pretty annoying way to do that with a mage.
It's called jousting. So you'll probably want a 2 hander for it, but it's pretty easy with a pet tanking. You simply wait for the mob to swing at the pet, then go in and hit attack on/attack off. The pet will never have agro over you if you are in combat range, but if you use this technique, you'll rarely get hit once you get good at it. And then you let the mage pet die and you have agro while mage re-summons pet. I actually have a decent 2 hander on my lowbie mage because the dps beats medding/nuking right now.
So, you need a cheap 2 hander since you are new. The best options for that are Pal/Monk. They both have 30/40, 23/28 for 100p, or free if you talk to me...just message me on here. Oh ya, but SK might be good because you can fear kite...I find fear kiting on a melee sucks, but jousting isn't all that fun either, heh. Anyways, there's some ideas.
