What's mage pet dps like?

Mages did have some awesome power with some elemental mobs iirc.

They were good dps, but they certainly were not top. Wizards and Rogues ruled PoP.

Edit: I guess we should clarify situations, on raid targets Wizards and Rogues ruled.

How did wizards maintain that dps without going oom on those raid mobs with million+ hp? fancy aa ?

I also remember vexthal blob taking like 20minutes to kill. was crazy hp.

With spell focus, AA's, and pets mages were insanely strong during PoP. If you combined the pet and mages DPS you would find that most of them were in the top right next to rogues and wizards.

Mounts + Flowing Thought + AAs (more mana regen, another harvest, spell cost reduction) + better mana regen buffs and songs + Mana conservation effect items and probably other stuff I don't remember.

So the 60th water pet is 2x the damage of the Necro Spectre? Seems a bit rough for team Necro!

necros get life taps, mana regen, insane dots, charms, fd, root, and mez. The mage pet better be doing more damage.

What about monster summoning III? Better or worse than the water pet?

Worse they don't have any special abilities.
