Certain abilities are OP.

DoTs are OP, especially combined with snare / fear / pet.

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

from what i remember hearing about classic p99 - any encounter could be done as long as you had an army of mages with their pets. trivialized content like Plane of Sky. prob had something to do with it in addition to the other aspects people mentioned.

ive never once played a mage in EQ, so im not sure personally how weak they are

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.

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

You don't feel like playing mage because they're boring as shit.

it's great if you want to play another game while also playing p99, it's like keeping a comfort movie on your 2nd screen. magician play can be your ASMR if you want it to be.
