It really is easy to learn though. If played right you have infinite resources so you always want to be casting if you can(and since you usually cant cast while moving, that means standing still as much as you can). You use fire stance to do damage, ice stance to regen mana(your entire bar in 2 server ticks at higher levels) - switching back and forth throughout the fight. Theres one DoT you should maintain for additional damage. Different spells are used in different situations(fire 2 isnt an upgrade of fire 1 - its an aoe spell instead), so you need to learn what they do and when they should be used. And then at higher levels you get one buff to maintain(buffs damage and gives access to strongest spells), and a couple others to learn when to use(with a couple different effects). And thats the whole class. Mastery is harder, as there is a lot of optimizing that can be done in terms of when you use skills and learning fights to allow for the most uptime. But at its most basic you spam a fire spell to run out of mana, then use ice to get back to full before you repeat - thats pretty easy to pick up.
