Up-to-date Magician Guide?

[FungusTrooper]

I read that Mage solo exp got nerfed at some point, and I'm having trouble understanding how to fight at low levels as a Mage. A lot of the guides seem really rushed, or really out-of-date, or don't cover how to fight, just where to fight.

I'm having a ton of fun levelling up my druid, because I found guides on how to root rot, quad, etc - is there a similar one explaining the mechanics for Mages? I just ground my way to level 4 (man, magician 3-4 has been the worst 3-4 yet lol), and am looking forward to leveling my Mage, but I don't really understand how.

Thanks!
