What do 55+ mages do in groups?
Ive seen mages coth, and dump mod rods, but other than that what does a good mage do in groups/for their group at 55+?
edit: this isnt a jab at mages, I sincerely want to know what a good mage looks like.

Don't nuke at 100% and send pet in at 60%, instead be the 1%er that sends pet in at 100 and nukes at 60.

I pulled in KC's LCY the other day on my mage with pretty decent success. Just run around pulling mobs with a level 1 nuke or throwing daggers while pet is killing stuff in camp.
It was mostly a pet group tho, i suppose u don't want to do that in the classic boring puller/CC/tank/healer group? But then again as long as pet's doing its job, it's probly better to have the usual puller class (hi monks) dps than the mage. I also main healed many different times with summon bandages as i leveled up, but i wouldn't consider this a strat! Still semi-useful with a shammy main healer to help with canni when the rest of group feels like helping at 50+~ | ||

A good 55+ mage does 80-120 sustained dps (pet + nukes) in groups on top of DS.
And ... as needed makes rods to keep the group rolling, summons useful clickies/items as needed, coths when needed, offtanks adds with pet when/if needed. My mage is the toon on p99 that surprised me the most while running a parser. Anyone can parse pets but only the caster can parse nukes. Mages put down a lot of hurt in groups. Send in your pet immediately and then blow stuff up. I like to keep 50% mana in reserve for strategic burns. While medding the pet still puts out 50-70 (or more with higher level pets) sustained dps.

Mages are great soloers, but add a lot to a group as well. I too have been using a parser and am quite surprised by our output. The damage is always great, and when stuff hits the fan, dump your mana bar to clear targets. You can probably solo a target or two in the time it takes the group to manage the rest. But compared to a necro - if the pet bites it and you don't have 10 seconds for a new pet, you kind of feel useless. No roots, no mez, no CC at all. If you can't use pet and can't nuke, those crucial moments can seem like a nightmare. Learning to chain pets even in a group is useful. | |||
