If you want to make a new melee character, this is actually my suggestion: level the mage to 34 and spend 10 hours killing hill giants first. The platinum you make off that alone will be more than the rest of your characters to level 30 combined.
At that point you can get a few key pieces of melee gear and fill out the rest of your slots if needed with cheap/effective equipment. And then any time you get a little short on cash, out comes the 34 mage.
