Enjoy your gnome. Also, if you go Gnome Necro or (Bertox follower) you probably won't have the faction to do the bone chip turn in for Kaladim.

Awesome! Thank you. I'll probably avoid the bad faction headache and go good Mage unless anybody can persuade me otherwise. Thanks for the tips.

Mages suck. Go enchanter, necromancer, or wizard.

Could you elaborate on this please? Why do they suck?

1-40 mages seem like a strong class. You can solo stuff but at 40+ the mobs you fight start hitting a lot harder. You are going from fighting mobs that are hitting in the 60s and 70s to 100+. Now you can still solo but only if you get 1 mob at a time. You have no CC but the earth pet and the root nets from perma frost, you have no real way to solo pull a mob, you have no way to increase mana regen but a mod rod.

But on necromancer, enchanter, and wizard 40+ is when they start to shine. Necros get a whole bag of tricks, enc can charm those mobs that are now hitting for 100 and reck, wizards can quad kite stuff.

Damn, now I have more consideration to do. Thanks for the heads up. I feel like with the time investment in this game, it will suck to have an under powered high level.
