I'm about to hit level 17 with a mage, over at silverpine, south of undercity. The thing is, the quests tend to be a bit over my head; mages don't take a lot of damage, and the easiest way to avoid that is to pick off enemies one at a time, but they respawn and sooner or later I'm surrounded. I'm not in a position to be able to clock any of these quests without help, and don't really have time to group up with randoms.
Anyone got any suggestions for manageable levelling with a mage?
