If you can stomach playing a character with a sharply limited spellbook, the Magician's DPS is absurdly good. Some players that take the class up might feel disappointed that obtaining an epic will probably never happen. Truth told, getting a water staff and finishing the climb to 60 for the focused pet feels like a fine 2nd place epic when you review the damage scroll. I did it once on Live and was not disappointed.
This time around I leveled up a necro on P1999 instead due to having a much broader use spellbook in terms of options. It felt like a far more complete class. As long as you know exactly what you want out of a character before you start, you won't screw up with either choice.
