I have a 56 mage and do like it although there are plenty of frustrating things.
Raid game you're going to be asked to make dispell staves, mod rods and/or call of the hero. Your DD spells won't stick on anything even with malo. Epic - forget it unless you're TMO/IB basically. Unless you really want to pay 750,000pp for an earth staff. Pet nerfs - soloing means you have to kill off your pet each time to avoid the experience penalty. This means gimping your pet (no swords/mask of mardu/buffs) since you're just going to kill it off. This also means having to carry bags and bags of malachite. | ||

I started off as a Mage on this server, was also my main on live back when. The class is just super boring. Pets and Nukes. I guess some summon items?
I just hate that the class has no utility like snare/root/fear. It's scary to solo. | ||

I think the lack of solo potential (though it is possible) scares people away.
Who'd have thought grouping in an online game would be so frightening? Still a good dps class, try one [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

Usually Soloing/Duoing is faster and less of a pain in my experience, also more active.

The reason there are so few mages on this server is not because of the various nerfs that have happened over the years. It is a combination of the two ends of the spectrum of players here - the pixel-hungry-RMT-style-min/max-permacamp-Tranix-and-King-for-two-months-straight crowd, and the nubs.
The min/maxers roll their Iksar Monks and Ogre Shamans and grief everybody else along the way. Then they sit at Fungi Camp for weeks at a time, griefing everyone else in Seb in OOC, and many of them RMT their loots. The nubs don't roll mage because its a hard class. You cant root, you have to understand pet XP and pet agro. Many people who roll mage don't make it very far. The truth is, a good Mage can solo pretty much every cash camp in the game without an epic. Also, a good Mage is a welcome addition to a dungeon group, with an awesome DS, good pet dps, COTH, nukes, clicky staff, and an awesome magic/elemental debuff. The asinine banter about how much other classes "suck" versus the OP ones is the primary culprit of the low mage/wiz/ran/pal population on this server. Comically enough, the class that gets a really bad rap at higher levels, the Druid, has the highest population on the server, but about as many 60s as Mage. Its incredibly easy to get a shaman, enc, monk, or cleric to 60 on this server. Classes like Mage where you have to work a bit and think outside the box to move the XP bar are a different story. This is the main reason for the low Mage population. How many Wizards would be 60 if it wasn't for Chardok AOE? Not many. | ||

i love mages, didnt worked on one yet because ive choiced a wiz because i want to have a porter, but really is the class that all guilds are in need, CoTH is so important, and mod rod will be much more later in the game.
plus is a dps too

I think there's alot, it's honestly been way to long to remember if pet is worse off then originally but their still very tough. As far as raiding most classes are delegated to a specific role, CoTh and mod rods are very important what's wrong w accepting you have a behind the scenes vital role? Would you rather be a shaman, buff then afk?
As far as 50%, if your not wanting to nuke or med alot it's simple, pet solos mob down you reclaim pet and small nuke the mob for full. Rinse and repeat. | ||
