I am new to the game im trying to try a good PVE mage,im seeing FULL INT around and the "palladin" build but i dont really know,im trying to go for a solo class,all around solo class.A skill list on that to skills to get would be nice(for soloing).

And a noob question,i saw a preson with the "bird" class playing as a mage,but i cant really do that on the charater creation,how do you do this,are there benefits of skill or stats by different class?
