To be honest Mages are completely OP still. Their pets tank as well as an equal level and level appropriate geared tank except they can use fire pet and get a huge DS so it's the equivalent of being able to whip out a tank alt at any moment that has chloroplast and high level mage DS. Their DPS is classic but pets are supposed to get the shit kicked out of them more. A fire pet shouldn't be able to tank yellow/red cons without even getting a single heal. In classic you'd have to practically chain mage heals on fire pet if it was fighting a red not go AFK to get a drink while it solos.

Just FYI, they can't. My fire pet can't even solo a dark blue without a heal at 37 (takes at least 2, on average). If you're talking about strictly low levels, then it is a little bit easier, but to suggest "without a heal" is totally exaggerated. At level 12, my pet could
perhaps solo a yellow without a heal if
very lucky. It doesn't stay that way and it certainly doesn't get easier as the mage levels higher. Yellow/Reds eat my pet alive unless extremely lucky, and even when lucky, I have to burn my entire mana bar heal my pet, assuming it doesn't die while on cooldown (very common for upper cons). If I take the time to cast a nuke, it will likely die. It's simply not efficient to kill yellow/red cons at higher levels if there is a plethora of blues to kill instead.
Don't worry, Kunark is coming. We're much less "OP" then. I hardly think the state of the class now is OP at all though. Plenty of other classes can solo as well or better.
