I am 99 strength, 98 attack and 88 defense. Flesh crawlers, if you let them autoattack, only gives me about 45k exp per hour. With 1 defense, you'd have to make more food trips than me, so that, along with your low attack and strength, will put you at probably 30-33k exp per hour.

It's called going hybrid? Str + Mage? Back like 2 years ago I had a level 48 hybrid - 60 mage and 64 str. Sumthing like that. Level 55 rune noob come up? I get owned. I start fire blasting. The rune noob is running like a madman saying "I don't fight mages". And then I usually call them defense noob. It happens on both sides..both classes hate each other. Pures with only strength or range get ticked off at lower level mains that just are impenetrable. Mains jsut think pures are a waste of time.

I have 3 99's (well one is 98) and a couple other close ones. I RARELY play. Per month, I probably never reach the 20 hour mark. Most WoW players reach that in 2 days. This game is about patience...but I do know some people that, while having lives, spend TOO much time on rs in proportion to other activities. And for sleep... I'd say if you are over 15 or something like that, sleeping at 12 to 1 is acceptable, providing you wake up at 7:30 to 8 am.

Mages are not bad. I've seen plenty of mages (cb 60) take down warriors (of cb 60+) ONE ON ONE. Tank mage does work, it just doesn't work as well as other types of pkers. It also wastes too much money, and the defense rating is just pitiful. Imho if your gonna be using mage as your primary, you should be between level 3 and 45 combat max. Any other area, you should be in a team, not solo.
