Hey Lukivah leave Avatar alone - sure playing with a mage is hard, but it's a lot more interesting than chugging around with a bunch of tanks, chopping everything to pieces.
If you use a mage properly they can be devastating, and make the whole game more like a roleplaying game and less like a diablofest. Just as an example if you have a thief scout ahead, invisible or hidden, then you can get your fireball(s) off at long range - only hurting the monsters.
When you use a mage as a fully active memeber of the party and not as an emergency backup, then the higher number of spells he can memorize compared to a bard is very important.
