Hey Jorvaar,
I just leveled a Mage up to 48 in the last month and wanted to share some of my opinions. Although I won't say they are not fun from 1-40, they fall off pretty hard. The main reason for this is lack of CC, and P99s decisions in shaping the current version of the Mage.
Whether these changes are true to classic I'm not sure, but I can't wrap my head around the design decisions. Your one CC, your pet, is locked behind research for a significant number of levels. This was a minor quibble to me until 44. I have been unable to find, or buy, the materials needed to make that pet.
It caused me to burn out pretty hard reaching 48, especially once the people I "grew up" with out leveled me.
High recommend if you are going pet class to go Necromancer or Enchanter.
