This game wasn't meant to be soloed. Content was designed to be done in parties. It sucks that the servers population is low - but it could be worse. You could be a rogue without any twinkage, who can't solo anything.

And yet, there are classes who solo very well. Even better than they did in classic... Just look at the buff they gave to root dot casters recently. They buffed them, but nerfed mages.... No logic whatsoever.

Certain abilities are OP.

DoTs are OP, especially combined with snare / fear / pet.
Slow is OP, especially combined with regen / heals.
Charm is OP, especially combined with mez / pacify.
Feign Death is OP, especially combined with best damage mitigation / 25% heal on 6 min cooldown.
Mana-Free PBAE DoT is OP, especially combined with run speed buff.

Sadly mage don't get any of these OP abilities, but we can't all be NEC / SHM / ENC / MNK / BRD aka the OP classes.

Outside of those 5 classes, the rest of the classes have to scrape and claw to get by. And again, it could be worse - you could be a rogue or warrior with no twinkage, who has to just rely on fighting 1 green mob every 6 minutes with 2 minutes of bandaging between fights.

Sure but.. mages used to be stronger than they are. So explain why we got nerfed?

Oh and mages have plenty of downtime too. Their pets regen super slow until like.. lvl 44? And their pet heals are pathetic.

Need to post in Bug section about the non-classic aggro dump that happens when a summoned pet dies, and also pet attack range possibly being too short now. Rants and Flames won't do much.

The non-classic aggro dump is intentional IIRC. Years back people were chain summoning pets and just PLing themselves that way without casting spells, etc. So they nerfed it such that when your pet dies you take a bunch of aggro so that you can't just chain summon.

Wait, soloing with the spells the Verant devs gave you is "PLing yourself" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It wasnt PLing yourself. Devs everywhere just hate mages.
