I picked melee/range because I like to range and melee is alright. I really don't know how good mage is with out a team because I usually am with a team and I have the highest range so I go range. That's why I picked melee/range.
range/mage beats all because if u wanna ko u dnt gotta chase them as they run u jus range or u could farcast which is noobish but range is also the quickest form of fighting... why not use all 3? do dds specs then rune knives combo with barrage... maybe to complicated but its a thought
