You will be a CoH bot, mod rod bot. if you're lazy and bad with your pet your guild will prolly tell you to pretend to be a wizard.

Yeah, this pretty much sums up why there aren't enough mages for raid guilds. There's certainly enough high level mage accounts, but raiding as a mage is so damn boring that they all either quit playing or switch to a class that gets to take part in raids and just leave their mage as a coh bot.

Edit: it's not like the guilds are jerks that insist on mages doing boring shit, it's that mage nukes are resisted by nearly every raid mob and they don't have much other utility value for them to do anything but be mana batteries for more useful classes.
