Also, just a cynical little comment: why is it that a few weeks ago people were acting like it was the end of the world because mages were "overnerfed", yet in this thread the consensus seems to be that they're still overpowered?

I didn't have a problem with the "pet nerf". And yes, mages are very powerful, under the right circumstances. On live, my wife used to say playing a mage was almost like cheating. Then one day I soloed Innoruuk, then she said playing a mage was deffinately cheating.

However, Innoruuk was a blue /con. I've seen wizards, druids and necros solo kite red /cons that would eat my pet and then have me for desert. Because mages don't get any kind of snare and as long as the mobs don't summon, kiting is viable to those classes, but not to a mage. Every class has it's strengths and weaknesses. The mage just has to play a little smarter to over come those weaknesses, pick our battles more carefully.
