I'm a fighter/mage. Fighters don't need to sleep every few minutes to efficiently kill, mages do damage on a wider scale at the cost of time and planning. However, I can safely say that each has its own purpose and that neither could ever fill the shoes of the other. You can tenser's transformation all you like but the fighter's advantage is in having an innate talent for fighting; they don't need to spend several rounds at the beginning of a battle sorting their spells just so they can actually hit something. By the same token, a fighter can move from foe to foe as fast as humanly possible, but he'll never be able to kill a dozen enemies in as short a time as a mage. For the sake of argument, let's toss the non-class abilities, hmm? But even so, the slayer's only good for about twenty seconds, and you'll find yourself very lonely very fast unless you use it sparingly.
