I agree with Raze. There are people who can play as mages. Thats why mage is availble as a class. When the enemy gets too close to start melee attacks they put some distance between them and who ever it is and hit them with magic from a distance. I dont play as a mage because I like hack-n-slash. With that being said even I know not to stand toe-to-toe with somebody when I am a ranged fighter because I will get my a** handed to me if I didnt build my character in a way that can make me a melee fighter.
