Just got this for 5$. I picked fighter, felt like my damage was shit so I went to warrior once I reached the first big city. I know theres only 1 save allowed and i wanted to try mage and maybe strider. Just wondering how ranged combat is in this game? What's a fun class I should check out?

you can change class anytime and your damage mostly depends on your equipment
warrior is kinda scuffed since it can only have 3 skills for some fucking reason, but all classes can be fun except mage and sorcerer

strider is the most fun to most people
you can just try out any class though, you can't screw up your character or anything
it's even encouraged to switch around and get the passives from most classes

Whys that? Does a mage have normal attacks with X and Y except their ranged? Or is it all mana based?

they have normal attacks but they don't have any combos and they mostly suck except for one glaring, game breaking exception
most of their useful stuff comes in the form of spells, which consume stamina, not mana or anything of the sort
most of these aren't very engaging to use, ranging from support spells and heals (mage) to "hold X to epic" nukes (sorcerer)

So if I started as fighter I can just equip different equipement and play a different class without penalty?

Just switch your classes around whenever you're getting bored. You literally can't mess up your stat growth (unless you stupidly spend the entire game as a melee class and then switch to magic after LV100+). Focus on getting some useful augments from each class as you go.

I spent my initial playthrough progressing through each: melee classes>magic (sorc)>mystic knight>magic archer. For your main pawn, decide if you want it to be a magic or physical type support, and focus on that (occasionally dipping into other classes to round out their health stat growth or stamina).

I've been having fun with Ranger class so far, flurry of attacks and some ranged. It's pretty versatile so far.

Just go back to Cassardis at night. Get to Bitterblack Isle and switch to the Assassin vocation. It gets all the skills from fighter and strider and can use bow, shields, swords etc. Although it's a good idea to max the Warrior vocation for the augments.
