Nice break down of pros and cons for each class. I disagree that mages have the lowest damage. A max lvl pure int mage can do thousands of damage with AoE spells, which is more total damage per second than a bear or bird can deal. Also, beckon + stomp is not always an ideal combo because you may end up scattering a mob and make AoE spells miss. If you are teamed up with a mage, it is usually best just to beckon and gather the mob so that AoE spells can do the most damage.
