Uses For Mage Fire Staff at 59?

[loramin]

In my pyrrhic quest to get an earth staff/epic, I managed to get the guild to come help me achieve ... a fire staff [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (We actually went up for an Ashenbone Drake, but we were bored enough to do the Mistress that was up also).

Ok, so it's no epic, but it's got to be good for something right? And recently I ate like five deaths (never leave your computer for the night when camping out, with 5 seconds left ...), so I have some XP to recover.

Simple question: at 59, is the (enhanced) Mage fire pet actually good for anything? I always used Earth/Water pets to level up, so I have no idea what the fire pet is good for at any level, let alone at 59.
