If raid scene worked differently and log in CoTH races weren’t necessary… you wouldn’t see them parked so often.

Mages are underpowered in no area of the game. Yeah they can’t do their dps role in certain raid zones/encounters but they have 2 critical raid jobs that no guild on p99 could compete without:

-CoTH
-mod rods

-They are strong soloers
-they are great in groups
-they have absolutely necessary raid jobs. Glamorous jobs? No, but necessary.

Underpowered my arse.
People park their Mages voluntarily. No guild forces people to do it, and guilds level CoTH bots that can be shared by anyone. The reason why people end up making their Mages CoTH bots is because Mages aren't very good at high levels, so this typically ends up being the best thing for the character.

If Mages were stronger, people wouldn't use their level 60 Mages as CoTH bots as much.
