Hey guys I am going to switch from a Melee char to become a Mage. I would LIKE to be a hybrid healer/elemental so I could do a lot of dmg and high healing. If anyone has any good Mage gear for trade or any good advice on making a mage please lemme know

:)

well I would suggest one or the other, if you are going to solo then be an "elemental", if you are going to be in a group, be the healer. If you want to be a hybrid then be a melee/healer hybrid. If you try to be an elemental/healer in a group game, you'll run out of mana 2 minutes into the game and probably get booted from the next game.
For low levels for a melee/hybrid, stick with an ee weapon, str robes or charm, and a heal mastery robe or charm. Usually if you find both stats on one item, the price is going to be pretty high or the stats aren't that great and you'd do better to do something like str robes and hm charm or hm robes and str charm. You may even decide to do str on both if you have a good heal charm.
For mid levels, do basically the same thing, you'll start needing more mana since the monsters hit harder.
For high levels, either switch to full healing gear, or use an ee weapon and hm robes and hm charm since you'll need as high of heals as you can get.
