Just wondering what opinions are on the epic pet of the mage. How good is it and does it make up for how the mages get gimped in kunark/velious.

Magus stays the best class in the game. Epic does not come out till after Velious anyhow.

Mage epic is pretty bad-ass though.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ruins_of_Kunark

"EverQuest: The Ruins of Kunark (RoK, Kunark, or simply the Kunark expansion) is the first expansion to EverQuest"

"The Ruins of Kunark was also the focus of 'epic quests', or quests for powerful weapons for each character class, which were introduced between the Kunark and Velious expansions as a source of further high-end content."

Okay, I'll bite. Why doesn't the mage epic come out til after Kunark?

Vyal is a mis informed fellow, dont mind him. As for the OP. Yea the epic pet is pretty bad ass. I wouldnt say it fixes you guys being somewhat gimped in RoK/Velious but it def helps.

Remember Mage Epic is spell you scribe, then summon. So in theory mages will never be with out thier epics.

Was the mage epic always better than the other pet spells you could get between 50-60?

Yep. Most preferred it to the 61-65 pets, too.

Epic pet was retardedly awesome. Not to mention you'd summon an orb, cast the pet, destroy the orb and summon another one with a charge on incase your pet died, so you could cast another mana-free straight away.

yap, and the first few weeks / months the pet summon was not 12 seconds either ... i cant remember the time anymore, if it was instant or 6 seconds ... but at the start of kunark this was insane for chain peting ;)

The mage epic is very OP during Kunark and Velious. It starts to degrade in relative power during PoP, which should not be an issue here. The quest is pretty tough, but the reward is OMG.

When you get it, be sure to have it duel any dual wielders who are willing. It's some funny shit how fast that DS eats them up.

Especially Monks, many of whom tore themselves to bits on the Epic Pet's outstanding DS.

The Mage's Epic Pet was truly in a league of its own amongst the RoK Epics. Probably right up there with the Monk epic in terms of difficulty and the Cleric epic in terms of usefulness.

It was a viable pet well into the 60+ era.

I imagine some don't even know that they can revert to the older pet models. I myself always associate the "pet grunt" when they attack with the blob with arms, that double-fisted punch forward no matter what weapon(s) they are weilding.

Of course some probably like the new models. Eh, I only see the old so I don't care who uses what :D

Ya know, I like the classic pet models myself. I had it set to be classic models, but somehow it changed and I keep forgetting to change it before I log in. Go figure huh, anyway thanks for the input gentlemen and gentlewomen.
