Mages were HORRIBLE at launch

This is bad advice. The slightly higher int of the Erudite means very little for mages compared to, once Kunark drops, the ability to easily make use of Eye + CoTH.

sorry, i'm a noob. What Eye?

The most exploited spell on p99 ever.

1. Shrink the mage fully (10 Dose Ant's Potion)
2. Mage stands tight against a wall facing it and casts Eye of Zomm
3. The eye will appear at zone in, not at the mage.
4. The mage see's through the eye so they can target players at zone in
5. mage invites players to their group whom are at zone in
6. mage casts call of the hero on the newly invite players to their location (raid)
7. repeat as needed until the whole raid force is at the raid.

It's a classic EXPLOIT but it's still an EXPLOIT.
Cough staff have said they can't enforce it. Cough

Pets are summoned just a little bit in front of the player. And when out of bounds it gets sent to zone in.

Being a Gnome , or using a shrink potion facing a wall and summoning an eye of zomm into an area outside the game. The game doesn't understand where that location is so it drops the eye to the safe spot in a zone where Succor or Evac spells take you, allowing mages to park in some pretty nice places summon an eyeball and pull entire raid groups to a safe spot very close to a raid bosses lair bypassing the need to fight your way though a dungeon to get to the boss.
