If there are good reasons I'd like to hear them. Pet classes are already penalized enough with the mitigation of their core abilities to balance out the power of a pet.
I started a mage on Red to farm and get the plat rolling in to twink other characters.

No other class can stay as naked as a mage and do so well so effortlessly.

My mage is nearly naked, cloth armor and a red robe for the look only. She summons her own dagger, ranged item, bags ( AMAZING BY THE WAY ), food and bandages.

She destroys seafuries at level 53. I literally sat there yesterday and killed seafuries at a constant pace. And she's naked.

Literally, all you need are spells and stones to summon a pet and you're soloing efficiently - naked.

She has farmed thousands and thousands of plat for me and is NAKED lol
