At one point they were. This was in retail, but there was a point where earring pet focus items were broken OP (I remember having like pet focus 15 or so), and made mage pets better tanks than actual tanks. They were still boring to play, they could do their line of site bolts and the only new thing at level 115 when I was playing was they could summon this second pet, this little temporary gargoyle, over and over, which could offtank a mob and do huge damage, like 5,000ish damage quads with the little guy. They also had AA’s which let them double-nuke on their next nuke for huge burst

Wizards became the rightful kings of dps with instant ways to get huge chunks of mana back, and rogues were given a bunch of various poisons that were actually useful. I didn’t pay a ton of attention to other classes tho
