Magician vs. Enchanter

[Arterian]

I'd go mage in your particular situation.

enc, you can solo but if you're not geared well then it's going to suck and be slow.

I don't completely agree with this. Compared to any melee an enchanter is still going to require way less gear to be effective. I've leveled an enchanter to 55 with really minimal gear, maybe ~5-10k total, which really isn't that much if you save up. I agree that a mage is less dependent than an enchanter in regard to gear, but OP shouldn't take this statement to mean that an enchanter is going to need gear like any sort of melee would. Enchanters, Mages and Necros all require fairly minimal gear to get to a point where they are effective soloers. You really won't have a problem with any of them gear wise imo and should really just focus on what play style you like the best.

Maybe try starting one of each and seeing which you end up playing more, and then making that one your main. imo a mage is easier to pick up quickly, and don't require the player to be as involved as an enchanter, but especially at higher levels an enchanter is much more fun to level.
