Magician Dark Elf? Should I have gone gnome?

There aren't any game breaking racial decisions for the Magician class like there is for tanks or a class like Necromancer. Choose what you thing is coolest.

Thanks everyone. I'll stick it out with my Dark Elf Magician for now. I still think it may be better for me to go Gnome for convenience and ease of gaming. There are lots of gnome mages apparently. Worst case scenario I can make a gnome magician and see how that is.

You should be okay with the DE. Besides Dark Elves are great! [You must be logged in to view images.

Not a whole lot, but just enough that you get a general idea of you want to play as one or not. I know you didn't mention playing the other races, but it's worth making a few of the other races to see if you like them or not. You never know!

Stick to DE and here is why.

You can do 25-40 with High Keep guard farming... Man the exp is amazing and you can bank serious cash in there. Each guard drops a FS swords sells for 5p and you will be killing soooo many guards. Plus the vendor that sell the Ench spells is neutral so you can sell all the guards swords to him.

I seen plenty of High elf and Gnome magicians in there wrecking away at guards so you still end up messing up the FP faction.

Second you have Guk which is a great place to do 14-25 and Lower Guk 35-50 and you can use the Oger city right next to Guk... So you can bank and sell while the good guys have to run like 5 zones over just to bank.

Halfling guards is another great plat/exp far spot in your high 20's mid 30's. Can't do them if you're hung up on been a good guy.

Been an evil race removes a ton of restrictions when it comes to farming and some of the best money early on is guard farming.

+1 for hide. It makes Dark Elf the best mages. Pretty sure wall scouting can be replicated with shrink potions in must have situations. Nothing replicates permanent invis. Faction is irrelevant 99% of the time and if you choose agnostic you will actually have surprisingly decent faction anyway.

tldr; none of the 73 class/race combination is wrong and all are highly playable.

Gnomes are by far the best mage race for coh
