Each class combo gets three battles.
TL;DW, the point is that mages have a /way/ easier time clearing by a long shot, and typically don't even risk death compared to most melee builds.
The first few segments can be skipped since they're self-explanatory (mages wipe the field, who knew.) but the melee fights taking nearly 3-4x as long goes to show things are a wee imbalanced.
You also might say 'melees are better at dealing with single targets' and to that, I'll say mage spells rarely even care how many targets there are, they'll do the same damage regardless.
In brief...mages are just all around superior to just about every other class combo in the game (at least for clearing PvE--PvP is a whole nother bag of worms.) They clear faster, they've higher survivability (because they clear faster) and they're generally very simple to plan with.
