Nah, by "Blast" I mean having fun :), but yes I do use Magic Blast.
I find the Mage a little annoying because the animations take so long, you always (it seems) get hit before you can dodge after casting, enemies seem to have much superior range (casters and archers), making "strategic withdrawals" a necessity rather than a "tactic".
I usually play a ranger class, but sometimes the areas are so confined in D2, It would seem a bit of a chore to play the whole game like that, but it is something I look forward to trying in greater depth.
