Haven't played a serious character in a few years (whenever the last round of wand changes went through was my last hero). Don't have a ton of time but find myself with the itch to get back into it again. Primarily a serial mage player but open to trying something new (just keep general lack of experience with melee characters in mind).

Any advice?

(also putting the addendum to title line question, if so what is it?, just to respond to the inevitable smartass who will post "yes")
