Rex, don't cast your ninja. it's straight idiotic
OK so you might like to get some profs but it's not worth the complete loss in efficiency. I casted paly pre-nerf. and yet I, and 90% of the other players, all melee'd the first ~30 levels because the mana pool was too small to be any good. that was when charms did FAR more damage than now, and ninja's have even less int that paladins.
I don't see why'd you want to cast when your character is such a melee beast. It makes no sense and defies all logic.
I won't be casting all the way...
I will be making hybrid... melee/healer
At certain levels... I will cast for sure... I have the gear
Int... 60
Dex... 90
Str... Rest
The gear I have can help me to cast from level 1 to level 35... then back to sword.
I will NOT always cast in-between those levels... but alot of them I will for prof gains.
Okay ... this is my Goal for the Month (hopefully with no outside interference)
Rank10 Ice
Rank22 Sword
Rank12 Focus Heal
If I do
NOT achieve those ranks during this MONTH (March)... then you can call me an idiot as much as you like.
If I get within close range (1-3 Ranks off target)... I am still a nub... but still not an idiot (

)
If I achieve this then do me a favor... don't doubt my reasoning... is that fair enough?
You have the advantage with this also... last month I only gained 55,000 proficiency points total.
Rank0 to Rank10 Ice is exactly 55,000 proficiency points.
Rank20 to Rank22 Sword is 43,000 proficiency points (but I am at 60% 20-21... so 32,000 approx)
Rank10 to Rank12 Focus heal is 23,000 proficiency points (make it 15,000 because I am 75% to 11)
I by rights... should not be able to achieve this for two (2) months... and I am making it hard for me to achieve.

Edit... noticed your edit.
The reason why alot of people do not (NOT) gain much prof points during the low levels is because of three (3) major points
1. Their charm was too powerful and killed in 1 hit
2. They did not collect up +Mana gear (now they are paying for these items and at alot higher prices)
3. They used casting characters that had high intelligence which dealt more dmg... not gaining much profs
