From what i read - they're useless wizards who cast shit and have no mana. I know this is classic, but clearly the devs back in the kunark era were idiots about having pets with mana/cast spells. Any chance this will be corrected so that fire pets are actually worth using post 50?

Probably not. Maybe they did suck, but it was never corrected or called a "bug," to my knowledge. Just the way things were.

Pretty sure the devs views on this is going to be like every other response they give when asked to fix VI's/sony's mistakes...
They are going to keep classic classic, the good and the bad.

It's why I'm going to laugh at all the mages when Kunark hits, and they all wish they'd roll a wizard. Unless of course they want to just summon non stop mod rods on raids.

Yeah mage pets took a huge hit in power in the 50's during classic. They went from being borderline overpowered in classic to meh in 50-60 content...
Except for the mages that have the epic pet... That thing is all levels of sick.

Unfortunately you have to do the epic quest first and I heard 4 out of every 5 mages that make an attempt, commit suicide before completion. FACT

That would certainly help control the mage population on this server. But I have a feeling most mages will be playing something else come Kunark.... (Necro comes to mind.)

I'm sorry you will have to load more then 3 spells to go from 50 to 60.

#1 - Low lvl dd spell
#2 - Burnout
#3 - Pet spell
I could go to 60 with those three alone.

So does the wizard fire pet have ANY use?

IIRC, it had some limited uses, I just can't remember what exactly. What comes to mind is fire immunity + the fact that it casts some decent wizard nukes that also interrupt other casters...Although its been so long im not sure it's fire immune (although one would think so).

Lord Rak Ahiir in City of Mist could be killed with only a fire pet and a cleric because of its resistance

Not with Kunark era mob hitpoints and damage output.
Unless of course you are into chain casting a pet 3-4 times per mob and then meditating for 5 minutes after each kill.

pretty sure 99% of people rolling mages just want to blast to 50 and twink their real toon.

I disagree partially - getting to 60 could easily be done that way, if they stuck to old world mobs (you mentioned kunark mobs) which still give xp through 60, they could easily do it this way. I soloed on my monk specifically in Guk and Sol B (LDC's) to 60 because it was so annoying to get a Seb group as generic DPS...
But yeah, Kunark mobs hit too hard to do that.
