What exactly changes for Mages / Pets in Kunark?

And obviously, if you're lucky enough to end up with a Mage epic, you become god-tier til the end of the timline

In addition to the above (pardon if I missed a comment), also note that the fire pets--a staple of pre-expansion Magicians--are widely regarded as terrible post-level 50. Furthermore, Velious comes out soon enough and it amplifies the problem: Velious monsters tend to hit a lot harder than Kunark opponents do and Magicians will be stuck using the same pets that were already borderline inadequate in Kunark. Many years of history on P1999-blue demonstrate that a great many Magicians will top out at level 55 for Call of the Hero at which point they'll quite often be relegated to pre-park duty. Those who make the push to 60 are most often grouping or at least duo'ing for much of their gameplay time.

Soloing after 55 is just tedious. That's pretty much for every class.

My enchanter was a breeze solo past 55. Necro easy too.

Howling Stones is divine.

Right but I think a good Seb group is much faster not to mention the full group so bonus.
