Dragon Age has changed. Most mages are battle mages, it's just that the regular mages only have a staff, which they probably use hit with. Magical energy is still charging their staff once they hit an enemy with a whack, but their still not uber warriors like real knights, men at arms and people like that, and they lack hard core stamina that rogues and fighters have. The real power of mages come with spells and mixing their magical abilities with their enchanted staves.

But warriors can still wreck a mage's day.
