I went gnomish mage. He is lvl 13 now. Yes, thanks to his paper armor he is quite difficult in soloing sometimes.
Got him tailoring and enchanting professions and first aid also. Good tip about first aid. Maybe I should stop upping tailoring - its around 100 now and switch to first aid. But, tailoring is nice supplementary profession to enchanting. I tailor the item - disenchant - enchant something else <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
