Mage Class ?

[Eisen]

Hi, i want play an Mage / Caster class with FireBolt / Chain Lightning...... magic Spell

wich Char shoud i choose ? witch ?

Witch and templar are the more straightforward choice for a beginner caster.

Edit: as advice, don't try to mix elements on your first build, just stick with one, you'll have an easier time with your build. Dual and tri elements are more complex to do.

yes i don´t know witch element i choose, but i want an magic Caster ^^

so i take a look on Witch or Templer thx

Just try different skills till you find a cool one and focus on it. Most skills are viable so you can't really get that part wrong.

I recommend you look for a build online.

helped me alot

Really, any class CAN be played as a caster. How effective they are is another story all together though. What spell you are trying to use also makes a difference. Since you are new I'd recommend playing as a witch. While I agree that a build will help you, my suggestion to anyone who is new is to ignore pre-made builds for your first time playing. Doing so will also help you understand the choices made in pre-made builds. It also gives you a chance to build some currency so you can afford stuff for the pre-made build. It's up to you though how you want to do things.

Unless you have a high frustration tolerance and don't mind having to constantly reroll characters and do the same early game all over again then you should visit the official forums for build guides or search youtube for poe 3.0 starter builds.

When it comes to what class you want to play look at the asendencies you get for each.
From what you said about wanting to use fireball/chain lightning time skills I would say you want to pick witch with elementalist asendency or Templar with Inquistor or maybe hierophant asendency.
