How bad are mages solo in level-appropriate dungeons?

[Toxigen]

yeah soloing as a mage sounds awful

It ain’t much more fun than it sounds.

Doable, but less flexible or efficient than any other caster other than maybe cleric.

I didnt hate it back when I was working from home. Sit on a 6 or 8 min spawn and click a few buttons before you tab over. Boring but a good enough distraction.

Oh yeah certainly. And at low levels mages are amazing solo. They just fizzle out in this capacity at higher levels (solo specifically).

you're not gonna be sitting pretty with mana to spare all the time. It's more about managing what you've got. Think of it as a mana diet - you've gotta make every bit count! And hey, if you need to AFK for a bit to med up, that's just a great excuse to grab a snack, right? 🍕
So, can a mage have a fun solo dungeon run for about 30 minutes? Absolutely! It might not be a walk in the park, but where's the fun in that? Just pick your battles wisely, keep that pet on its toes, and who knows, you might just find yourself falling in love with the mage life.

DDD is useful for level 56 but generally once you get 57 earth that's the pet people go with. It's such a big step up in power. That's not to say that DDD isn't useful, because it is, it's a solid little pet. Unfortunately with the way mob HP scales by the time you get DDD you'll need two of them to finish off a 5-6K HP mob whereas the 57 earth can handle them with just one.

As far as LDC's go, that's a fun camp for mages, it's possible to split either room as well. Can do 4-5 LDC's per cycle comfortably.

I solo in dungeons on my mage characters at level all the time , but like others have said we're not talking about Seb crawling, post 50 the possibilities start to dry up.
