Ya, especially at very early levels, mage pets are stronger than even a twinked melee character. Mages are especially great with a partner, because the pet will eat half your xp if you are solo, and it outdamages you (which it will almost always).
Also, A pet is completely expendable, a melee PC is not =) So, you don't really even have to heal it. Just making a new one is usually more efficient. Mage+any healer/caster/bard maybe, is a great combo to start fresh with.
You can also go Mage/melee, but the melee has to Joust probably (use a slower weapon and jump in and out between mob melee rounds)
