Magician is just not fun in P99

[Balimon]

Mage isn't for everyone. I'm surprised you found it annoying, considering how easy it is these days with all spells in and focus itrms. I'd like to tell you gets better 50+ but it doesn't, not till 57 really. If you make it to 60 and get some good kit, mage Is a lot of fun.

Yeah really, mage super easy 1-55, only started to feel a little outrun by mobs after that.
Maybe he only wanted to chain multiple pets on big kills

Could be, you still can do that, carefully with earth pets. Or by kiting outdoors /shrug

You can always make a necro and not buy 80% of your spells if you want the superior magician experience.

Buy pet, your best lifetap, root, gate, and FD. Ignore everything else, including DA which is huge value on the pet chaining front, but since mages can't do that, we'll pretend necros can't either.

Any more nerfs on the horizon for mages? How about we make summoning require some obscure reagent, or make the mage take half of whatever damage your pet takes. Fun stuff like that

Regardless of nerfs and adjustments mage is still a strong mob killer, and probably the most mana efficient one at that.

If you can manage to kill something with only one pet and a baby nuke after reclaiming then you've barely spent any mana and gotten exp. Necros, shamans, enchanters, for all their strengths and mana recover still need to drop a lot of mana to kill something.

I think the issue has always been pet agro transferring to the player. It was never like that, people, I think, have acknowledged that, and for whatever reason it was implemented, it did more harm than good. I hope for those coming up they change it back to the way it was. My post was just to let people know that Magician does get better. For me it was around level 50.

Yeah, it kinda breaks my heart a little bit. I really enjoy the Mage class lore wise. The idea of summoning a powerful minion to destroy your enemies sounds awesome. Unfortunately on this Emulated server, the Mage class kinda blows. It's very broken and dysfunctional at this point and will likely be permanently stuck like that. It's kinda depressing. Mages are mostly just coth bots, to be honest.

magicians arent fun in general

play the master caster class

the necro!

Magicians pre nerf-flogging were actually decently fun and a very chill group class. They aren’t even in the same universe as necros in terms of power. Maybe with the epic I guess, which is of course only for a very select few players
