Came back to P99 after being away a while and have been leveling my mage. It's honestly pretty fast if you stick to outdoor zones and pull singles. Just have your fire pet facetank while it's damage shield kills the mob, reclaim when mob is low and kill with single nuke.
I am 43 in OT right now and it's been that way since level 4; since the mana cost of summoning a pet stays the same from levels 29 to 49 it gets really efficient. I can basically keep killing since I am medding while my pet kills stuff, sometimes I can reclaim 50% of the mana cost of the pet itself when I am ready to nuke the mob. I'd imagine it stays this way until 50, at least.
I have heard 55+ mage solo takes a hit but I can't comment on that.
