Newbie Question

[MrWoody]

<p>I am experimenting with several classes to find my niche.  I am a WoW refuge who played a mage to 62, but I gave up on her for one reason and one reason only.  It went like this:  nuke and nuke, dead mob,  repeat.  Then sit for 30 seconds and drink.  I simply got tired of sitting there drinking literally after 2 kills (maybe 3 if I got crits).  Are wizards in this game like that?  I don't mind an occasional refreshment, but not every other mob.</p><p>The next thing I wonder about is if you are pretty much a gonner if the mob gets to you with a lot of health left and starts whacking your little cloth wearing self.  I hear they are quite "squishy".  I don't mind an occasional death, as long as it doesn't become a habit.  lol</p><p>Also, would making  her (Arasai) an alchemist be a good idea?  I already have a toon with sage, so spells are covered.  If not, what would you suggest for a tradskill?</p><p>Thank you very much for helping this newbie.  BTW, I love the game, and the community is awesome.  </p>

Nah its not that bad, mostly.  Regen is pretty quick.  I dont have to stop to regen power very often, more often I need to regen health but even so, not that much.  With most fights I can take a few hits while I reapply root, but if its a very strong heroic I might take enough damage before getting it back under control that Ill just choose to run.  I dont often die soloing unless I get stunned by multiple mobs as Im running.  This is from a 62 wiz.  It might change at higher levels.
