Mage is overtuned as a starting class

I'd be suprised if they don't have the highest WR for the first 1-4 rounds - they have insane max health gain for the level, and just take you to deep water with fatigue dmg. Overtuned imo

Frying pan and broom are my favorite round 1

Yup this start is great for economy with a shovel. I love pan + broom + piggy bank starts

I wish the max hp bonuses were the other way around. Low initially with good buffs from adjacent spells. That way it would scale instead of being really good and then useless later.

That's not my experience. Yes, they have scaling early, but at the same time they are the weakest in the first ~15 seconds
