Battle Mage or Mechanic?

Just to add to the are battle mages good at dealing damage spiel, We have waaaaaaaaaaaay better gear for them than KMS does. Yes, their main appeal in a party is the aura, but they aren't looking too shabby aside from that.

Personally i just love the playstyle. Tele-spamming warrior with badass pseudo steampunk magic? Yes please.
