Why are mages not more popular?

If you can not kill both mobs, you have to get somewhat creative, like helping the pet to kill one mob by nuking it down, gating/zoning, coming back, pulling 2nd mob.

Basically it sucks ass to not have any CC beside your pet and root nets.

There's one thing a mage excels at, post 50: farming low-mid levels camps. You don't need to worry about anything, just keep the pet /guard'ed at the mob's spawn, work on something productive on the side, and check the game window once every 10 minutes or whatever to see if the named has died.

I haven't played in a while but I remember when I got 2 trying to burn one down so that I am only left with the one, but the mob I am ignoring would always aggro me after I nuke the other. So that rarely worked for me. Good on low hp mobs, however.
I like the gate/zone and come back idea. I haven't played him in like..4 years? All this talk makes me want to pick him back up.
